At ARTventurers, we LOVE getting children involved in art at an early age â which is why our classes are specially designed for the little artists aged 6 months plus. Art has SO many benefits â from squishing and squidging in paint to explore colours and textures, learning about the world around us, developing fine and gross motor skills, making friends and building confidence.
The aim of all of the ARTventurers sessions is to nurture and develop a childâs creativity by providing them with the opportunities, guidance, inspiration and materials to explore, experiment and express themselves through a range of colourful art and creative activities. PLUS all of our activities and sessions for preschool age children are carefully planned to support the Early Learning goals and in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage.
All children are individual and the free flow element of our ARTventurers classes recognises this â all of the children can explore and create at their own pace and in their own time. A jam packed session of colourful, creative (and often messy) fun!!
Iâd love for you and your little one to join us!

9 months – 2 years is the age range we see our little ones develop from sitting to crawling to walking, babbling away in their own language.
In these sessions we aim to build the confidence of each individual, develop motor skills and coordination and hopefully build on their love of music and dancing – we use a variety of different resources, instruments and visual aids to keep their attention (and give the grown ups a bit of a work out too).

Our Baby & Pre-School programme (0-4 years) provides a wonderful bonding experience and our progressive lesson plans instil a water confidence and love of swimming.

Toddler Sense is the perfect next step from your Baby Sensory journey as it provides carefully planned multi-sensory classes for toddlers aged 13 months – 5 years.
Each session combines adventure play and structured activities. Adventure play allows the children to burn off some energy on the wide range of soft play equipment, balance beams, bouncy castles, ball pools and encourages them to be creative, imaginative and independent. Each week is setup differently meaning there is always lots to explore and discover!
The structured activities are centred around lots of research and includes dancing, music, role plays, crafts, games, puppet shows and much more! These activities are designed to develop their cognitive, social and emotional skills although they’ll be having far too much fun to notice!
Every week will introduce a new theme and the children will engage in a world full of sensory fun and adventure. They could be going on safari, blasting into space, battling dragons, swimming in a blue lagoon or joining the teddy bears on their picnic.
Each class is carefully planned in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage to support physical development, communication, social and emotional skills that will form the foundation for all future learning.
If you think this sounds like the perfect environment for fun and learning, then Toddler Sense is the class for you!
âMe and my little boy absolutely love love love this class! Its amazing! He asks every day if its time for Tod Sense yet! Canât recommend it enough.â

Water confidence builds life confidence.
Our leading swim programme has been developed to build water confidence and skills throughout your little oneâs first five years. We work closely with Swim England, the national governing body for swimming, and weâve woven their learn to swim framework through our programme. Youâll love nothing more than seeing their progression as your little one moves from fun floating, kicking and splashing to swimming independently.
And not only will your little one develop key aquatic skills, but weâll also give them the knowledge to keep themselves safe. By the end of their journey, your child will be able to independently swim to the side and climb out to safety, wherever they are.
You can be safe in the knowledge that youâre learning from the best. Our teachers are the only ones who can hold Swim Englandâs Level 3 qualification, the highest that can be achieved. And theyâre the most passionate around, there to guide you at every stroke of your little oneâs journey. Because the more confident they are in the water, the more confident theyâll be out of it too.
So what are you waiting for? When theyâre ready, weâre ready.
If you have any questions, want to know more or to get your little one signed up, just get in touch.
Aquastar swimming school  is a local family run business, we are an ASA swim school member.
We provide a calm and relaxed environment where your child can learn to swim or improve their technique. All our swimming instructors are qualified to ASA level 2 standard with over 100 years combined teaching experience.
You can feel secure in the knowledge that they are in safe hands and learning from the experts

The journey to becoming a strong swimmer takes time and patience. Each child will achieve their goals in their own time, and they shouldnât be rushed or forced into to activities theyâre not ready for. The Swimbabes course is designed to let each child develop at a pace theyâre comfortable, whilst always challenging them. The key to development at this early stage is repetition of success, reinforcing verbal instructions and ensuring longer term awareness of water safety and confidence.
