Curiosity Cottage

Curiosity Cottage Curiosity Cottage, based in Aiskew, provides free community classes for families with children. Watch them get lost in sensory play?

Curiosity Cottage is based in Aiskew at the parish and provides different and unique classes tailored to the age and development stage of your little one. We also provide classes for families to come together and connect, where will we share advice and tips from the vast knowledge we have collected over the many years we have worked within Early Years. Do you want to learn more about your child’s

physical development? Relax whilst connecting through baby massage? Whichever it is, we have the right class for you. Explore our classes section for a more detailed description, and we look forward to creating our Curious Community. CLASSES
From baby massage to physical tots, Curiosity Cottage will be hosting many classes that tailor to the age and stage of development of your little one. New-born or school age, we will have something for you. Keep your eyes peeled and register your interest. GROUPS
Would your child enjoy a nature trail or den building? We will have many different group activities here at Curiosity Cottage that will ignite your child’s imagination. These will suit children of all ages and we will make sure everyone can get involved. EVENTS
Keep your eyes open for our Curious events coming soon. From family fun days at our local park, to seasonal evening events for the grown-ups. AND MORE....
We cannot wait to share with you everything we have planned here at Curiosity Cottage. We hope to offer each child a little spark of magic in every class, and a little slice of cake for our grown-ups.

🚘 Beep beep! 🚘

The children really enjoyed letting the cars whizz down the pipe, they even used some of the materials on the floor to create a little ramp! ⭐️

An activity like this is great in allowing use of mathematical language such as ‘more or less’ power. Higher or lower. Does the ‘big’ truck go faster or slower?

They can use critical thinking skills and create their own hypothesis 🤩 Then work together or on their own to find out the answer.

Well done guys! 🫶🏼 I’m looking forward to seeing everyone on Monday.

⭐️ Story book week ⭐️

This session proved too much for one little lady! (See last pic 🥰)

It always gets a bit more rowdy when the bigger ones are involved 🤪 Lots of giggles and cute friendships formed for an hour 🥹

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone next week!

🐷 Exploring the animals 🐷

Sorry it’s taken me so long to upload these lovely photos. The start of the summer holiday has been a rough one! 🫠

All bugs have left our house now though and we are ready to go! ✌🏼 I’m looking forward to seeing everyone on Monday.

This session had a lot of little ones who joined and they loved exploring all the different textures in the animal food tuff tray.

It’s really beneficial for babies to explore real world items that tend to have much more for them to explore. The different textures, scent and taste alone can keep them engaged and learning ❤️

Thank you for joining me guys ☀️

☀️ SUMMER HOLIDAY INFO ☀️

There will be no booking post for these sessions each week (as I’ll almost definitely forget with all my children at home 🤪)

Instead, could you comment or message which dates you would like to attend and how many children you will be bringing.

😎 You can book as many sessions as you want.

☀️ The cost will still be £4 per session with tea & biscuits provided.

😎 These dates are for older siblings as well but I would politely ask for that no older than 10 and could older children be reminded there will be babies present. 👶🏼So we must be mindful when playing.

Thanks so much ✌🏼 Let’s go Summer hols! 🤪☀️

🐘 ANIMALS 🐘

The children had such a lovely time on Monday.

We had the ramps and water play out which gave the children a chance to try out some different theories.

The animals wouldn’t slide down on their own but as soon as they added water they flew down! ⭐️

Thank you everyone for joining me, I have a few spaces left for next weeks class if you’d like to come along 🙂

Whoooosh…. We had a great time on the moon last week. 🫶🏼

Stomping on and scooping the moon sand, whilst building rockets. Great fun 🙂

It’s wonderful watching the children not only learn through play but create little friendships each week 🥹 Thank you to everyone who continues to come to Curiosity Cottage 🥰
