Starting school is a huge milestone for both you and your little person and we want to ensure you both feel prepared and confident before taking that step. Our Meet, Learn, Play programme has been personally designed by us as teachers with coverage stretching across the entire year prior to them starting reception. Children will participate in a range of carefully planned and prepared activities which will develop vital skills. Slowly building upon their confidence and knowledge, this course closely mirrors the seven main areas defined within the Early Years Framework, enabling your child to be more confident when exposed to such tasks.

Sessions throughout the course will be fun, relaxed and enjoyable for the child, allowing them to experience the expectations of a classroom setting, with their grown up, to ensure they are ready and excited to start school. In addition, adults will feel equipped with an understanding of what to expect: feeling confident and with a sound understanding of the Early Years Curriculum and knowledge of how to further support their child in their school journey.

Supporting children to get ready to join school next year!

My daughter has had a wonderful time at the summer camps! She came out of the first one so happy and referred to the teachers as the lovely,  nice ladies. 
My daughter is SEN with a very complex medical condition and the teachers arranged a call with me, prior to my daughter attending, and also allowed her to visit the space, before her start day. Thrilled with our experience so far, thank you so much.

Arts and Crafts Sessions

Allergies 

Baby massage helps your baby to relax; this promotes better sleep and helps to soothe and calm your baby. The repetition of specific strokes and massage techniques fundamentally supports your child’s brain development. Baby massage helps to join vital neuro pathways which form your baby’s nervous system and this assists in the development of an array of things including their digestive system, brain function, blood flow and ridding the body of toxins. We equip parents with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to apply a range of massage techniques and strokes whilst also providing an opportunity to meet other parents and create a supportive network.

Our baby massage classes offer parents a safe space to enhance their bonding and attachment with their baby through a nurturing touch.
