About Little Stars
Join our Astronomy team, a friendly facilitator and their rabbit friend Pip for a fun, free storytelling adventure exploring space and time.
These fun, storytelling sessions are jam-packed with music, movement, role play, sensory exploration and relaxation. Perfect for the whole family to get involved!
After the story, you're welcome to stay and play, as we provide a drop-in social club where children can play with toys, sensory objects, and enjoy colouring activities while their grown-ups enjoy a cuppa and a chat.
Little Stars is designed to aid your little one’s development, to create an opportunity for quality time and a chance to meet new people. But most of all, the session is built to be fun!
Little Stars storytelling sessions begin at 10.30am and is approximately 35 minutes long. This is immediately followed by the social club that runs until 12.30pm.
Free refreshments are included.
