Laura's Story Corner

Booking is now OPEN on my website for the September-October term! 🥳
Places are filling up fast - thanks to those who have already booked!

My weekly Baby Corner and Toddler Corner sessions are small, welcoming and friendly.

Each week is based around a new theme, with half an hour of stories, songs, rhymes, toys, Makaton and sensory play followed by half an hour to play, relax, chat and have a cuppa and a biscuit.

Based in Crookes and Crosspool, I have three regular weekly sessions:

Toddler Corner (1-2.5y) - Monday, 10:00-11:00 at St Tim's Church, Slinn Street

Baby Corner (0-18m) - Monday, 11:30-12:30 at St Tim's Church, Slinn Street

Baby Corner (0-18m) - Thursday, 10:30-11:30 at Valencia Restaurant, Sandygate Road

Go to www.laurasstorycorner.com to grab your spot 😊

Any remaining spaces will be available as Pay As You Go 2 days before the term starts.

Keep an eye out for Tots Corner updates!

When choosing a new baby group it is really helpful to read some reviews from other parents and carers who have attended.

Thank you for taking the time to share this fantastic review Beth! 💕

Post reads:
""Laura’s Story Corner was our favourite hour of the week! I brought my first child here 5 years ago and then my second child until I had to go back to work. Laura is friendly and engages brilliantly with the babies. She takes the time to chat to each parent and makes sure they finally get time for 5 minutes to have a drink and a biscuit. I have met some amazing friends at this baby group that I continue to meet and chat with even though we no longer attend. Thank you for such a wonderful time ❤️" - Bethany
