🌟 Another Busy Sunday Morning at Teesdale Sens Stars! 🌟

What a fantastic morning we’ve had! 💙

Today our little stars enjoyed:
✨ A Rice Krispie sensory tray with zoo animals
✨ Kinetic sand sensory play
✨ Play-Doh activities
✨ Outdoor play in our secure garden area

Our venue offers a lovely, spacious indoor area where children can run, jump, spin, explore, and simply be themselves in a safe and welcoming environment. The outdoor garden is fully enclosed too, giving extra peace of mind for those adventurous little escape artists! 😊

As the café is closed to the general public during our sessions, we have exclusive use of the building, creating a calm and supportive space for all families attending.

If you’d like to come along and join us, we’d love to welcome you. Just pop in and say hello – no need to be nervous, everyone is welcome! 💙
