About
Nurture Nest is a session for babies who haven't learnt to crawl yet. It is an opportunity for young babies to engage in tummy time as a group, learn songs, make new friends, and explore the senses whilst discovering some of our curious museum objects and exploring our sensory environment.
Tummy time mats will be provided during the session but you are welcome to bring your own if you would prefer.
The session will begin with a short singing session, followed by unstructured exploration of the environment.
If your baby isn't crawling but have started to explore their own unique ways to move with confidence, you may find our curious crawlers session more suitable.
We will explore a new theme each round.
