What to Expect
Saturday Storytime is a delightful weekly event designed especially for children aged 0 to 5 years. It offers a warm and welcoming environment where little ones can enjoy engaging stories, sing along to rhymes, and explore early literacy in a fun and interactive way. Parents and carers will appreciate the relaxed atmosphere that encourages learning through play and shared reading.
This session is perfect for nurturing a love of books and language from an early age, helping children develop listening skills and imagination. It’s a wonderful opportunity to meet other families and enjoy quality time together.
The event is casual and welcoming, with no need to book in advance, making it easy for busy parents to drop in and join the fun.
