During this 5 week course you can expect to have time to reflect, learn, stretch, rest, enjoy your new baby and make friends. Join a course with your new baby when you’re ready and they are under 12 weeks of age. Mums will often book before their baby is born so they know they’ll have this invaluable support available when they need it most.

Our exciting Soft play and Messy play session will be held in collaboration with Emma from Little Pickles Play Café. 

The session starts with 45 mins of non-directive play time on our soft play structure. Then, the enjoyment continues with a 45 minute themed Messy Play component, where the children have the opportunity to explore a variety of wet and dry textures to heighten their senses.

Messy Play encourages children to explore, build, imagine, experiment and investigate whilst developing physical, social and communication skills.
