PLEASE NOTE - This half term is a 5 week block starting on 2nd March, however art sessions with artivity are running for 4 weeks as Ellie is away on the last week of term.
The sessions below all run weekly on a Thursday. If you haven’t been before and would like to pay for a single session of any of the lessons then please get in touch with us to arrange. Children are welcome to bring their lunch - we will keep the workshop room free over lunch time for this to help with our tidying at the end of the day. Please ensure that your children clear up after themselves after lunch. Children are welcome to stay between sessions and play in our rooms - we have a wide selection of games and toys, or of course they are welcome to bring their own activities. You are usually welcome to leave children with us during their lessons so long as you remain contactable - we will ask you to come in or stay if your child needs you, or you are welcome to stay onsite with your child. We do ask that you are on site with your child between lessons and take responsibility for ensuring that your child gets to their lessons. We have a very busy day with lots of families taking part so the teachers and shop staff are not able to take responsibility for other children.
We are asking that you sign your children in and out of the sessions each weekas well as getting them to sign our childrens sign in sheet. We also have a guidance and expectations sheet that we will ask you and your child to agree to when you first join us.
Art with Ellie from Artivity - £12pw
These sessions are run by Ellie who teaches children different techniques each week.

Social Session

Although children are welcome to stay on site and play between sessions, we make sure that all our classes are finished by 3pm to give all the children time for a social session together. You are welcome to come just for this hour at a cost of £2, or if you are coming to other sessions in this day then this is free (please choose the appropriate option when booking). We ask that children tidy up before they leave The Place Stamford.
