About me- Kathryn Corbett
I am a home educator of 7 years, exteacher, and currently a childminder. I love crafts and art of any kind.
I have set up these groups as I was looking for group science/craft activities for my children and there wasn't anything in my area. I am hoping that our children will have the opportunity to learn from each other, and have fun together.
... FURTHER INFORMATION
The sessions take place at my house in Annesley. As a registered childminder I hold a paediatric first aid certificate, DBS, and am insured for running activities in my home.
I have cats and dogs, they will not be around when the sessions are taking place, but if you have allergies the sessions might not be suitable.
Parents are welcome to come along to the sessions, my living room will be available for waiting in, I will set some toys up for younger children. If your child is happy being left with me there are a few parks and woods within walking distance, and Hucknall or Kirkby are both a ten minute drive. .
REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT
First session is a one off payment. If you would like to continue with the sessions a payment for the remainder of the half term block should be made to confirm your place.
Payment is non-refundable unfortunately as I will be buying resources for the children which can't be returned. You can offer it to someone else, for a trial as a private arrangement.
Please arrive ten minutes early for your first session to complete registration form.
