Join our experienced Play & Learn Facilitators and book your FREE place on our We are Wonderlings workshops.
You and your little one can explore the world through sensory free play, in a safe and stimulating environment. Each session is themed to make every visit special.
From babes in arms, to bum shufflers, snoozers and movers, these are workshops for different age categories, just so we can focus on those important developmental stages.
Each session is an hour, and takes place in our Space on the following Mondays:
Mon 7 Oct
Mon 4 Nov
Mon 18 Nov
Mon 9 Dec (Please wear your festive outfits!)
At these times for the specific age group:
10am – 11am, birth – 12 months
11.30am – 12.30pm, 1 – 2 years
1.30pm – 2.30pm, 2 – 4 years
If you have more than one child and they span the age ranges, please book for the older child's age group.
What our participants say:
"This is the best thing ever to bring my boys to. It's completely safe! I know they can't get out. We came before thinking it would be the same each week, and it’s a completely different set up. It's fantastic!" Mum Participant
