Will classes be the same as pre Covid times?
We currently just one large sensory area with mats spaced out to allow for space and comfort..
The class will be 50 minutes long and will still be in 3 parts, starting with our Hello song, then sensory activities, followed by a short break from structured activities where you remain on your mats but can chat to other adults whilst babies rest, feed or play with the lovely equipment provided. We will then finish with another section of sensory activities and our wave goodbye song. As always classes will have a huge amount of variety , different every week and some wonderful themed sessions too!
How will we keep the equipment clean?
The equipment is regularly sanitised. The mats are cleaned regularly and we also use tarpaulins on the floor so the whole sensory area is lovely and clean.
Will we have to wear a face covering?
It is now your choice if you would like to wear a face covering.
What happens when I arrive and what can I bring with me?
