Hope Hive

One of the most frequently asked questions at the moment is...

When are Saturdays back?

The answer is… Saturday 5th September. 😍

There will be TWO sessions on that first Saturday to celebrate Back to School, Starting School and maybe some cooler weather?

Summer Pass Holders - these are included in your Summer Pass!!

We expect these to sell out so don’t delay. ⏰

Saturday sessions will then be a regular feature back on our timetable - watch out as sometimes they are in the morning and sometimes the afternoon (around already booked parties) and sometimes there are TWO to choose from. 🤩

Extra Special Saturdays - no age limits!
Saturday 24th October - You are invited to join us for our 6th Birthday!! 🥳 Cake and games and extra special, we’d love to see our Super Fans and members at this one!
Saturday 31st October - TWO Halloween specials with crafting, slime making, games and dress up! 🎃

Toilet Training?

Always a hot topic at Our Hope Hive - when, how, planning it in around the rest of life and holidays!

Lots of parents and carers have found these leaflets helpful so thought it was worth sharing here. From ERIC - The Children’s Bowel and Bladder Charity.

They have lots of great tips and resources on toilet training, anxiety around toileting etc. https://eric.org.uk/

Keep Brains Buzzing This Summer: How Hope Hive Combats Summer Learning Loss

Summer should be a time for joy, sunshine, and freedom—but for many children, the long break from school can also mean a step back in learning. It’s called summer learning loss or the summer slide, and studies show children can lose as much as two months of reading and maths skills over the summer holidays if their minds aren’t kept active.

But here’s the good news: learning doesn’t have to look like school to be effective.

At Our Hope Hive, we believe in learning through play—and our sessions are packed with opportunities to practise and strengthen the skills children use in school every day. Whether they’re role-playing in our pretend shop, building with blocks, making up stories with the dressing up or small world, or exploring letters and numbers in fun, hands-on ways, their brains are buzzing even when they’re on a break.

🌞 For younger children, this kind of active play helps maintain and build on their language, social, and motor skills.

🎒 For children about to start school, it’s the perfect preparation—supporting independence, confidence, turn-taking, listening, and early phonics and maths skills in a gentle, child-led way. Watch out for our school role play area coming in August.

💛 For parents, it’s peace of mind: knowing your child is engaged, developing, and thriving—all while having a brilliant time.

So this summer, don’t let the skills your child has worked so hard to learn fade away. Keep them curious, connected, and confident—with Summer Sessions at Our Hope Hive.

We are having a lovely day at Worthing Playday Association Play Day on Broadwater Green!
Thanks to Millie and Jo of Team Hope Hive 🥰

We are hiring weekend party hosts!

We have more parties than staff at weekends so we need to recruit party hosts.
We host parties on the weekends on Saturdays and Sundays in a morning and an afternoon slot 10-12 or 2-4. This needs a host for 4 hours - setting up and making sure everything is ready, hosting during the event - finding the cake knife, turning off the lights for the birthday cake presentation, serving teas and coffees to tired parents and carers, helping with the clear up and getting the venue ready for the next party.

This is a hospitality role with crossover into working with children. It would really suit people at college or university studying in hospitality, education, childcare sectors. Must be 18+ as this involves some working alone and opening and locking up the venue.

Please share this post and if you're interested email me [email protected]

See you there!

This Summer we are loving 🥰 our new garden and our air conditioning.

Most sessions are selling out. If you need it quieter please come to the 2pm.
