Ages 0-4

These weekly 1.5-hour Mini Sessions for children aged 0–4 provide a gentle space to explore, play, and connect with nature. With sensory play, craft, storytime, music, and free play, they support healthy development and curiosity. Ideal for early years or families planning for school later on.

Mindful Minis runs in three-week blocks to keep things simple and flexible for families. Each block is booked individually as the term progresses, so you’re only ever committing to a few weeks at a time.

Please Note

Mindful Minis needs a minimum of four bookings to go ahead. If for any reason we don’t reach that number, you’ll be able to either transfer your spot or get a full refund.

These sessions are lovingly designed for little ones aged 0–4. If you have older kids, I kindly ask that you make other arrangements if you can. But if not, they’re still welcome to tag along. Just know our focus will stay with the youngest children.

*If you have more than two children in this age group attending, just get in touch before booking so we can chat about the best option for your family.
