Family Group
‘’.. It was such a beautiful opportunity for me and my baby to connect with each other. The room was homely and relaxing, and it was always nourishing being with other like-minded parents. It prepared my child for going to Kindy – they were already aware of the setting and the rhythm’’

Family group:
0 to 3 years
Family group is set in our homely and nourishing River Kindergarten classroom. We have small groups, allowing each child to find at their own pace, the confidence to explore the world around them.
Parents find a calm atmosphere, support, friendship, humour and inspiration from both the group leaders and each other. Sharing their parenting journey whilst creating freshly baked bread and hand crafts, this is a perfect way to introduce yourself and your child to the Steiner-Waldorf philosophy.
Building a solid foundation
Family group helps children to gradually become ready to interact with their peers outside of the home. The group rhythm includes nursery rhymes, puppet plays, simple songs, simple crafts and bread baking.
A snack is shared, and the children play whilst the adults are engaged in meaningful creative activity. Children enjoy simple toys made from natural materials, that allow and encourage them to explore their imagination.
Times
Indoor family group with Lia is on Fridays in term time.
Outdoor sessions with Duncan are on Tuesdays. They begin at 10am and finish at 12:30.
Fees
Each session is £12, and £5 per additional child over 1 years old. We do not have “drop in” sessions, thus families are asked to book a place on their chosen day of the week and pay in advance for a term. This provides a known group for both the children and parents, enabling support and friendships to grow. If you would like to come for a taster day, or to visit the school generally then please get in touch.
You can find our family group fee policy below, and the booking form. If you would like to book on, please fill in the form and send to info@nant-y-cwm.co.uk
