Why we recommend:
Caroline, who runs this, also runs the baby and toddler groups at the Botanics. They were by far and away the best classes I did with my toddler.
This is not just another prechooler group. Caroline, a mum herself, is an experienced practitioner and Froebel expert, who really understands and nurtures child-led learning and interactions using natural resources.
As a mum herself with slightly older kids in Edinburgh, she has tons of wisdom. She is also brimming with ideas which will help you as a parent or carer. (You only need to see what she does and how she interacts with little people!)
Your kids really are free to be themselves in Caroline's groups. No pressure to sit quietly in a circle etc. Her classes are age appropriate, creative, imaginative and...most importantly, relaxed.
Make friends with lovely outdoorsy people! We met some fab mums, dads and grannies at Caroline's Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh classes, which are seriously popular. (Join the mailing list!)
NB: Gym Juniors - Edinburgh Gymnastics Classes and Saughton Park and Gardens (there is shelter and a good café) are just next door. So why not make it a day out. We LOVED our preshooler gym classes which we did on a pay-as-you-go basis. Bookable online, these are fab from walking age+. Membership deals also available for keen beans.
