Designed for age 0 - 14, here are the activities you can get involved in across the day:

· Materials (suitable for ages 5-11years)
Explore the difference the right material can make to the design of a vehicle. Scoot your way to understanding why cycles changed from wood to metal. Learn about different materials used in our collection and get hands on to design a silly cycle.

We are working on some big things, and we want you to be involved from the very start. We invite you and your family to join us in this relaxed workshop and shape the future of our family offer by simply having a CHAT with us while spending time playing, making (and learning) through open-ended experiences with your family.

Immerse younger minds with transport themed nursery rhymes, through sensory experiences. Each child will receive a sensory bag to gets hands-on with as we share singing and movement activities, helping to keep them engaged for the duration of the session; adding context by using a physical object to give words meaning; extending learning through play and increases their opportunities to develop good listening and language skills.
