Ticknall Toddlers is a non-profit organisation for under fives. We are dedicated to providing a fun environment for all the children (and adults) who attend. It's all about getting little people to play and have fun after all. We use our range of toys, equipment and apparatus to give the children an interesting and varied experience every time they come. There is a vast range of equipment we use which is used in rotation so the little monkeys do something different every time.
We have;
- Jigsaw Puzzles, play-doh and other educational toys
- Lego, Megablock and other 'building' toys
Farm animals and toys- Car and train tracks
- Dressing up box
- Hopscotch set
- A Wendy House which all the kids love
- Kids cooker and tea party sets
- Plenty of 'ride-on' toys, buggies and prams
- Painting and ink stamping
- Crepe paper and gluing
- Climbing frame and slide and 'balance' track
- Ball pool
- Musical Instruments (very noisy!)
- Space hoppers and beach balls
- A reading corner with lots of different books
The session is not formal and kids play freely with each other and the Mums and Dads. We try to make tidying up time as much fun as possible and use the play mats for 'magic carpet rides'.
The session is divided informally into two halves with a break at 11am. We sit all the children at a big table for a drink and a snack. The children can have juice or water with raisens, biscuits or sometimes cake if there is a birthday to celebrate! Tea, coffee and biscuits are provided for Mums and Dads.
Where?
Ticknall Toddlers takes place at Ticknall Village Hall, Ingleby Lane, Ticknall on Wednesday and Thursday mornings, 10am to noon. There is a large car park so we never have any parking problems! The group gets a little disrupted during school holidays or if other events take priority over the hall (like elections).
How much?
£2.50 for parent and child + 50p per extra child over 6 months. We may also do some outdoor sessions during the summer. If we do, the price goes up to £3.50 because the Village Hall charges us £10 to do so.
