Little Wonders

TUFF TRAYS FOR SALE 💛

I have two more white tuff trays for sale.

They will need cleaning with bleach or the pink stuff to remove any food colouring stains.

£10 each

FOR SALE 💛

PLEASE READ ✨

Hi everyone,

I’ll try and keep it short and sweet but it will probably end up being a long one.

I’ve made the important decision to close Little Wonders. I made the group so that parents had somewhere to go with their children, to make friends, to feel like them again whilst they speak to other adults, to help parents with activity ideas and put a Montessori take on a playgroup - rather than the usual plastic toy. I feel like I succeeded in what I aimed to do. Lots of parents made new connections and mums who were afraid to leave the house last summer are now living their best lives feel more confident. You all have lots of play ideas, and now everywhere is back open again, I feel like it’s time for me to start concentrating on myself and my little family too.

I hope you all loved coming to our sessions and felt accepted and free to be you. I hope your children had the best time igniting their imaginations and getting extra messy. I want to thank every single one of you have came along, who shared something or even commented. All I wanted to do was help others, but it’s come to the time where I need to be selfish and put myself first. I hope you all appreciate that. It’s been very time consuming and costly and when it comes down to it, I’ve had to do what’s right and stop the group. I have refunded everyone for all of your upcoming sessions - even the ones purchased with credit. Please note that on your bookwhen account it might say that I’ve recorded a cancellation of £40 but you’ve only received £10 - this is because it was recording cancellations for the entire booking, including ones you have already attended. Also your refund may come through on a slightly different PayPal transaction if you had credit - this is because I needed to use the highest transaction to issue a refund for the right amount. I hope that all makes sense.

If anybody would like to book tuff tray hire please don’t hesitate to contact me. It’s best to either email [email protected] or message my personal Instagram - . I won’t be on the little wonders pages and I don’t go on Facebook messenger. I have an absurd amount of ingredients which all needs to be used 💛

Thank you again for coming to sessions. It was so lovely to meet your children and you 😊

Lots of love
Avery and Harriet

(Rachel will write her own post when she has time)

Merry Christmas everyone 💛

I hope you’ve all had a wonderful time.

Refunds for all January sessions have begun to be processed. They won’t all be done today as the children are at school so please bare with me.

I have four of the huge plastic storage containers full to the brim of ingredients. If you’d like to order an at home sensory/messy play tuff tray kit please don’t hesitate to contact me 😊
[email protected]

The kit includes - tuff tray and toy hire as well as ingredients.
They are £15 for one and then £10 thereafter. (Surplus charge for certain trays like the Icecream trays, pizza making and cakes) They contain instructions on how to create them - which gives you lots of ability to make your own creations.

There’s lots of choice and I can put them together so they are suitable for age - completely taste safe or containing small parts for more small work and tinker tray type play for over threes.

See previous post on the page for more details 💛

Hi guys,

Unfortunately all January sessions including hall sessions are now cancelled.

I will be refunding everyone for their sessions but it's going to take me a while as there's a lot to go through and it's something I'm going to do after christmas. I hope you all don't mind. I've spent 6 months at the group or doing things for the group most days. Please do not contact me about refunds as I will get round to everyone.

Something I'm going to offer though as I have a tonne of ingredients to get through - only from January.

Messages are not on. Please email [email protected]

MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄

We won’t be active on any of the social media or in emails until after Christmas now.

I definitely think we deserve a break 😂

If you’d like to come along in January then please book via the booking link - (click shop now on the page or visit the link via any of our previous posts)

The only space available is for our story themed hall play session. It’s going to be amazing with soooo many different set ups. It’s a huge space so we can fit so many ideas in. It’s also cheaper than our sessions at the shop. I’d book sooner than later if you’d like to attend though as sessions have started to go really quickly.

Thanks so much for supporting the playgroup during 2021 and here’s to another fabulous year 😊

There will be quite a lot of changes in the new year, just due to the amount of work we’ve been putting in. As you all know, it’s completely non profit. To the point we don’t get paid and still contribute towards costs. So every time you book it pushes us closer the goal of being able to offer full sessions to families from homestart and the food bank. Ensuring that all families can be included and invited to enjoy the fun at Little Wonders. Ever child deserves to come along 💛

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas full of so much love and magic ✨

Come along and enjoy some festive fun in a place where you’re always welcome and won’t be judged 💛

Lots of love,
Harriet

Hi guys,

Just a reminder to let us know either by commenting on a post or via email if you’re unable to attend. It only takes a minute and is super helpful.

My middle session ended up with all no shows. This meant that I didn’t know nobody was coming so waited for 30 minutes with Avery.

We don’t get paid to be here. In fact, I still pay to do this. So please be respectful and courteous of the hard work we put in to do something nice for everyone.

Thank you 😊

We have three spaces available at 12:20. £3 each.

Please don’t message as I don’t have the app to read them. Please comment below if you would like to come 😊

AFTER SCHOOL SESSION ✨

We have just one after school sessions available on Tuesday at 3:45.

Perfect for those who want to bring their children but are unable due to school times. My seven year old adores this kind of play so this is suitable for all primary school infants and their siblings.

All children must have a ticket. Please book via the link -
