Hello lovely Mini Scientists and grown-ups! 👋💛

We hope you’re all having the most amazing summer together! ☀️🏖️ We certainly have after enjoying two wonderful family holidays, and we’re now back feeling refreshed, recharged, and very excited for what’s coming next! 🥰

We’ve been busy with Big Science🧪🔬 and we’re also so excited to be welcoming the lovely Vicki to the Mini Science family! 💛 She’s currently training and getting everything ready for her brand-new classes starting this September with Mini Science County Durham 🎉 Be sure to follow the page so you’ll be the first to know when bookings go live! 🚀🔍

Meanwhile, we’re already looking ahead to one of our favourite times of year… Autumn Term! 🍂🍁🧡 It’s always so lovely catching up with our returning families while welcoming lots of new mini scientists too. 🥰

✨ Our classes restart week beginning 7th September, and spaces are already starting to fill! If you’ve been thinking about joining us, don’t leave it too long…

If you’ve never been to Mini Science before, here are just a few photos showing what we get up to! 📸🧪🌈

Each session is a full hour of relaxed, child-led exploration where your little one can play, discover and investigate at their own pace. 🔬🔍🧲

You’ll often find:
🎨 Colourful painting stations and crafts
🧪 Exciting science investigations
🧲 Magnets to explore
🔍 Magnifying glasses for tiny discoveries
🚧 Construction challenges
💦 Water play and our very popular mixing and measuring tray
🌈 Sensory and messy play

✨ …plus so much more!

We do sometimes get a little bit wet or messy so a change of clothes is a good idea 👕💦

Mini Science is such a friendly, welcoming group and a wonderful hour to spend making memories together while your mini scientist explores, creates and learns through play. 💛

Don’t just take our word for it—head over to our page and have a read through our lovely reviews to see why so many families love spending their time with us. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We honestly can’t wait to see all our familiar faces again and welcome lots of new ones this September! 🍂🔬🧪🧡

See you all soon!
Helen and Neil ❤️💛
