Mini St. Mary’s, our weekly ‘play and stay’ group for babies and toddlers, returns in October. The group is a fun and free session for young families in the community, and all are welcome!
Our ‘Mini’ sessions are set-up for babies, toddlers and children to explore, play and create in a secure, clean, friendly and warm environment. Every week there is a selection of toys, puzzles, books, a home corner, as well as creative activities. The hour concludes with circle time.
A very friendly and popular group, Mini St. Mary’s supports every child to develop their Personal, Social and Emotional skills, Communication and Language, and Physical Development, as they start there learning journey before they attend nursery or school. It is also a lovely opportunity for local families to meet, socialise and enjoy spending time playing with their children.
As one family says, “Our daughter had the most wonderful introduction to school life at Mini St Mary’s. Her confidence grew through exploring and playing in the warmest, most nurturing environment. She made friends, learned new songs, and loved the new books, toys and games that she found each week. Mini’s was always one of the highlights of our week, always beautifully organised with a new theme each week, it made the transition to ‘big school’ completely seamless”.
Another family says, “From the moment my daughter and I first attended Mini St Mary’s, we both felt so welcome and the weekly sessions quickly became an unmissable part of our routine. It soon became very evident that these sessions were a happy, fun and beautiful introduction to attending school. Fast forward two years and she has just walked into the Nursery class, waved me off and told me that I can come to collect her later! Her feeling so at ease at St Mary’s, the building and the staff, is priceless to us and we credit Mini St Mary’s with this”.
