I have children with allergies.
Are the sessions safe for them to join in?
Yes they are! Even though we use a lot of food items in our play, we ALWAYS get parents to fill in a form prior to their first session stating any allergies. We must have allergies in written form prior to your child’s session so we can plan accordingly.
How can I join in with my child and encourage play?
The best way to join in with your child is to model play and interact with the set ups in a way you think your child will be able to copy. Ask open ended questions that will encourage exploration such as, How does that feel?, What could you use this for? or Could you try this?
Overall, our set ups are designed to assist your child to spark imagination, creativity and self learning, so your presence is just a guide as to how they may interact with the play.
What can I expect at a Mindful Play session?
Our sessions run for 45 minutes and includes a range of messy, sensory and mindful play set ups. Parents are encouraged to move their child around each activity and model play where needed. Our play facilitators will always be present while roaming around and encouraging play. At the end of each sessions, we gather together to revise our 6 affirmations and practise a new breathing technique.
I have a newborn, can I bring them along?
Yes, absolutely! Any child under 6 months is free to come along and join in if they can. We always have a mindfulness area set up with infant safe sensory items too.
The space we hold our sessions has access for prams too!
Can I use my 5 session pass on any day/classes?
You absolutely can! This is why we created this package because we understand that life can get hectic and some of us don’t like committing to a whole term.
You can use your 5 pass package on any sessions during the term (Monday’s, Saturday or Pop Up)
Once you have purchased a package you will receive a code via email to use when booking any 5 sessions via our website.
It’s my first session, what should I do to prepare?
Firstly, WELCOME! Once you purchase your tickets or package from our website, you will receive an email within 48 hours of everything you need to know, including the address. On the day of your session, make sure you bring along a change of clothes, a towel and some wet wipes for your child.
Can more than one adult attend with my child?
Yes! We love seeing parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles attending.
If any more than 2 adults will be attending, we just ask you to please let us know prior to your session to make sure the class isn’t overly crowded.
Do you offer make up classes if I miss a booked session?
Due to Term 1 being a short term, we are not able to hold any make up sessions.
If you purchase a term package in Term 1, you will be able to redeem 2 missed classes in credit for Term 2.
If you have purchased a casual session and can no longer attend, you are able to reschedule when 12 hours notice is given.
Please note that casual sessions are non refundable.
