An exciting series of sessions for Under 5s and their grownups.

This event will take place at Hyson Green library (Mary Potter Centre).

Designed and delivered by the team at Nottingham Playhouse, these fantastic Saturday morning sessions are full of fun, play and learning.

Each week your child will take part in a special adventure in the library that uses the children’s own ideas. It’s a unique and fun way to explore stories, characters and language together in a safe and welcoming environment.

Sessions are completely free of charge, but booking is advised to guarantee a space as this programme is very popular. One ticket will give access to one parent/guardian and one child for all sessions during the term. Please notify us if any additional adults are planning to attend.

*Please note that parents/carers are required to stay for the session*

Creative Crafts!

We love these sessions, there isn't anything comparable in the local area!
As an early years educator and teacher I see the benefits for all the children
