New School Starters Play Sessions
Meeting your new class friends
Is Your Little One Starting School This September?
Help them settle in, make friends, and feel confident about their first big step with our New School Starters Meet Up Play Sessions.
Join other parents and carers of children starting school for the first time this September at our specially designed new school meet up play sessions. These friendly meet-ups are the perfect way to help your child meet future classmates, start forming friendships, and feel more comfortable before the school term begins.
Set in our beautifully themed role play village, your child can explore, play, and learn through imaginative activities designed to support school readiness. From building social skills to boosting confidence, our sessions are ideal for helping your little one settle into their new school environment.
While the children play and enjoy our live performer’s engaging Story of the Day, parents can relax, grab a coffee, and connect with others going through the same exciting milestone.
Starting school is a big step — for both children and parents. Let us help you and your little one make it a joyful and confident start!
