About this Event

STORY CAFE is a small group stay and play session, where families listen to a story, play and explore resources and activities based on the story, and have a drink and a snack. We'll also be giving families who attend a free picture book to take home. First Steps Story Cafe is FREE to attend, although voluntary contributions are welcome to support us to provide picture books for families. Story Cafe focusses on children's communication and language development, empowering families with simple ways to make a difference to their children's development. 20 tickets available. Please book one ticket per child over the age of 9 months, no ticket needed for small babies. First Steps Story Cafe will be held at Calvert Hall, Rosebery Road, Norwich NR3 3AB.

More about First Steps -

First Steps is a community group that meets at Calvert Hall behind Rosebery Road methodist church, Rosebery Road, NR3 3AB. We put on stay and play groups for parents / carers and their 0-4 year olds. We welcome mums, dads, grandparents, childminders, and other carers. We are an inclusive and welcoming group, offering age appropriate play opportunities, messy play and healthy snacks. We finish with a songtime with props, puppets and sometimes bubbles or parachute play. We keep the cost as low as possible so all are groups are either £2 per family (1 adult and up to 3 children, extra adults £1) or FREE (Story Cafe is free). There are a few parking spaces adjacent to the church (please park at an angle to the church wall), and a few 2 hour spots on Rosebery Road.

We believe that children learn through playing, chatting and exploring their environment and resources. We believe in instilling a sense of awe and wonder in the children. We have a trained Communication Champion in our setting who can advise on speech, language and communication concerns. We promote wellbeing for babies, toddlers and their carers. Our group's run by a former teacher, an outstanding childminder and a retired childminder, all with years of knowledge and experience in early childhood. We look forward to meeting you and welcoming you to our warm and friendly group.
