Parents and children having fun together

Early Explorers groups are a great opportunity for parents to meet each other and find more ways to support their baby’s learning & development. We know this is an important age and parents can make a huge difference to their child’s future chances. The relaxed sessions are full of ideas & activities to do at home with your baby.

Mini Explorers is currently running alongside Early Explorers

Now running!
We're really pleased that our Little Explorers groups are up and running again, following Covid-19 cancellation. These weekly sessions are delivered in schools and nurseries across Wirral, led by their staff who've been trained by FYT. Speak to your child's teacher to find out if running in your school/nursery.
Sessions include talk time, story and song time and give parents an opportunity to discuss areas of learning & development and take away ideas of how to support this further at home with their little-ones.
We have a small group of amazing FYT volunteers and are looking for a few more to join the team!
