Classes are held weekly and split by age- one for 2-3 year olds and one for 3-5 year olds. Every class is different, with a new and exciting scientific topic being taught each week, so your little one (and you) can attend for 2 years and experience something new each week. We cover everything from polymers to dinosaurs, maths to tropical rainforests and much, much more.

Our Mini Professors get to wear their own mini lab coats and learn about the basic principles of scientific experimentation, whilst having loads of fun and getting hands on.

A typical class starts with our Mini Professors 'Welcome Song', followed by an introduction to the day's topic, with pictures and props, then our first experiment/activity, where we encourage all our Mini Professors and their grownups to join in (and maybe get messy!). Next we have a short video, related to the scientific topic, then a story followed by another fantastic science experiment. At the end of the lesson we summarise what we've learnt and end with the Mini Professors 'Goodbye Song' and each child is given a sticker!

Each Mini Professors session lasts 40 minutes and follows a set format so the children know what to expect next. All the activities are concise and interactive, catering for the many different learning styles and keeping the little ones’ attention.

The children love to get involved in the experiments and activities, it is a great opportunity to prepare them for nursery and school. Young children are so enthusiastic about science – they have inquisitive minds and they are not afraid to ask questions.

We encourage the grown ups to join in too and carry on the learning experience at home with their children.
