Bookings and Payment

See individual class pages for prices. Classes are booked in blocks of 6 weekly classes or by the course/workshop. Payment is required upfront.  Bookings here. Once an available place has been confirmed via email you will be sent details to make a BACS payment to secure it. Towards the end of each block, current attendees will be given priority to book the next block of classes before opening it up to the waitlist. 

Babes in arms (non-crawling) are welcome to their older sibling's toddler class at no extra cost but must stay with parent/carer at all times as the classroom will be set up for toddlers to explore freely. Toddlers are not permitted in the baby class to ensure the babies can safely and freely explore.

Snacks and drinks

Parents are welcome to breast or bottle feed babies during the session. Parents of weaning babies are welcome to bring a snack and drink for them - a weaning table and chair is provided. Snacks (usually fruit) are provided in toddler class which the toddlers will be supported to prepare independently throughout the class.  Toddler's will also have independent access to water via the water dispenser, the choice to take part in making bread rolls and a sit down 'meal' of bread rolls and fruit with the other children at our communal table. Please advise of allergies when booking.

What to wear

Please dress your child in clothing that they can move freely and easily in and can get messy in should they choose art, water-based or food-based activities (aprons will be available but they may choose not to wear one!). Joggers and t-shirts are ideal and a change of clothes is a good idea. Please also come in outer layers and shoes that your child can work towards removing and putting on independently at the beginning and end of the class. Pull-on or velcro shoes are ideal. There will be storage near the entrance for children's and grown-ups shoes. Children should ideally be barefoot during the class (most of the floor is wooden so this gives better grip) and adults can wear socks. 

Toileting

The toilets are just opposite  our classroom. There is a standard bathroom with step stools for toddlers working towards toilet independence. There is also a larger accessible toilet that can be used for stand-up nappy changes for walking babies/toddlers and lay down nappy changes on the changing table for those not yet walking . In the baby class a changing mat is also available in our classroom. 

Hygiene

 Furniture and activities are cleaned after each class. Please only come to the class if you and your child are well.
