Early Stages

Early Stages

Our wonderful Early Stages sessions for 0 to 5-year-olds are back for 2024. Come along with your little ones and join us for an hour of fun and play.

There will be different themed activities each week where children will be stimulated and encouraged to play and socialise. The sessions are aimed to delight your little one’s senses while introducing them to fine motor skills and the joy of messy play. All of this will take place in a safe and supportive environment, fostering social interaction and development between children.

It will be enjoyable for all and help little ones with the transition to nursery.

Clothes for messy play recommended.

We are very excited to welcome the wonderful Colleen Nicoll who will be joining us for this term and leading the sessions. As a professional musician and music educator Colleen is looking forward to lots of music in the sessions as well as stories, crafts, games, dancing and free play.
