The end result is a great sense of well-being and achievement! Children join classes designed for their age and stage of development as follows:
•New Explorers (13 months - 2 years)
•Adventurers (2 years to 5 years)

New Explorers: As toddlers grow and become more independent, they have a natural curiosity and appetite to explore. Toddler Sense gently introduces toddlers to equipment and activities that are suitable for their age and stage of development. Adventurers: Early adventures are an important part of a child’s journey of discovery, helping them to learn about themselves and the world around them. Toddler Sense offers a whole new world of adventure and challenge that lead learning and development forwards, and motivate children to try out new skills. The preschool years are a magical time of learning and development. Children become more imaginative and independent as they broaden their skills through play, fantasy, and exploration. They also become more sociable as they engage, participate and cooperate with their peers and with other people. Class Leaders undergo rigorous training to deliver a high-quality service and to value each child as a unique individual. What we will be doing:
The session is divided into three balanced phases-regular structure being important to young children as it helps to prepare them for school.

1.Exploratory Play Time: a great way of settling the children, letting them burn off energy and encouraging catch-up time between mums and dads.

2.Mat Time: Toddlers like the familiarity of our 'How Do You Do? Song, which is followed by 20-30 minutes of activities and music, rhythm sticks, parachutes, giant air balls and action songs.

3.Time for Adventure: We're off again, entertaining a place rich in sensory stimulation and wonder. Each week you will find yourself transported to whole new worlds, and no two sessions are ever the same. Finally, it's back to the mats for our 'Say Goodbye' song. Did you know that? •Toddlers learn best when given the freedom to explore things for themselves. Each week is themed with specific activities that create a range of exciting adventures.

•Every week we produce a vast array of exciting, stimulating materials and equipment, many of them unique to the Toddler Sense programme.

•Classes include a wealth of soft play equipment, inflatable fun, gym equipment and lots more. You need to see it to believe it!
