Sensory Storytime
Stories are an amazing way to support young children's language and communication.
These sessions encourage children explore the world of stories through their different senses to not only support development, but foster a love of reading from a young age.
This is a great opportunity for you to spend quality time with your child without having to create your own entertaiment.
Groups are friendly and welcoming and are also a fantastic chance to meet other parents and carers.
Groups are split into the following:
-
Birth to pre-walking (around 0-12 months) - a calm and relaxed introduction to reading and stories.
-
Walking and beyond (around 12 months - 4 years) - ideal for siblings to attend together, a more lively group.
Each session last 45 minutes.
Cost is £10 per session
Our sessions are booked in blocks (per half-term), if you would like to join partway through a block, please get in touch using the contact form.
