The sessions will take place between 10am – 12.15pm which will include some settling in time and lunch.

Each week, you and your little one will play and learn alongside other families. You will explore fun, interactive and inspiring ways to support your child’s personal, social and emotional development. For children there will be stories, creative activities and lots of time with their favourite person (you!). And, for you, there will be all of this, plus a Mini Wonders Goodie Bag with lots of top tips and activities to try at home so you can continue your play and learning together between sessions and build some new ideas into your family routine.

For this programme a free lunch can provided for everyone, and we are able to reimburse paper bus and metro tickets to cover the cost of your journey.

Spaces for this programme are limited. If you are interested in taking part please apply using this form. We are particularly interested in families who are not already regular museum visitors. 

We will let families know if they have been allocated a place by Wednesday 16 April.
