This week’s Little Learners Stockport classes are inspired by ‘Room on the Broom’ by Julia Donaldson. Children love this story and it fires their imagination. It’s great to fit in with a Halloween theme too. We played in coloured rice – orange, green and purple. This was coloured with a little gel food colouring. The […]
I came across an article based on recent research published in 2018 which was titled “Play is not frivolous” and it made me so happy to read! I know from working with small children for many years that when children are playing they are giving something their full attention; they are curious and interested and […]
Considering bringing your little one along to a Little Learners class? Here is a run down of all the benefits of our messy play classes:
We use play dough in all our classes to aid early writing. It’s such a popular activity for toddlers and preschoolers. So what does it have to do with early writing? Play dough is full of benefits.

I loved this week; I have run 4 ‘Magical Christmas Workshops’ where we have made our own soft toy. We have teamed up with Teddy Mountain UK and we made Christmas unicorns and Christmas bears! it’s been so lovely seeing the faces of the children when they make their very own toy. And as it’s Little […]

I knew when I chose to run Little Learners classes that the mark- making programme would work. I knew from my experience in early years classrooms that the fun, engaging, child led and playful approach would help children progress. Young children need practise with lots of different materials, pens, crayons and tools to develop their […]
