Pebble rhymetime and storytime
Pebble rhymetime
- Every Tuesday at 11am followed by Baby Duplo
- Tuesday Rhymetimes will focus on fostering a calmer environment without musical instruments and includes bubbles and stories with a sensory element. We sing the same songs each week to create a structured and predictable session. Tuesday Rhymetime is usually run by a neurodivergent member of staff.
- Rhymetime is followed by Baby Duplo. Aimed at children aged 1.5 years and upwards, this enables children to explore, share and create. All parents can stay and socialise in a friendly and supportive space.
- A visual support board is available for any parents/carers to share with their children during Rhymetime. Please ask at the desk before Rhymetime begins.
- A Social Story is available to support this Rhymetime. Please ask at the desk.
- Every Thursday at 11am
- Every Saturday at 11am and 3pm
No ticket needed, just drop in.
