Expert Led
Don’t have qualified STEM staff? That’s not a problem! Our award-winning sessions are designed and led by early years specialists, research-backed and tailored to the 3 - 5 years age group.
Flexible
You can opt for online sessions on your choice of topic to lead in your own setting. Or with our in-person workshops we can come to you regularly or as a one-off, at a time that suits you.
Easy Set Up
Our self-led sessions are designed to keep your prep time low. We use resources you'll have available in your setting and we'll give your staff clear guidance on how to help. If we come in-person we'll do everything!

“I would highly recommend Little STEAMers for Nursery and Reception.
The presenting was well-pitched and the children thoroughly enjoyed it and developed their understanding...I loved the information that was sent home to parents too."

"The workshop was amazing! The best thing we've ever done on space - definitely better than our usual trip to the Science Museum! Can you come back every week?!"

How Little STEAMers Sessions Work
In our on-demand and in-person sessions, we introduce scientific ideas to children through stories, movement, singing and demonstrations.
​
With age-appropriate activities that are easy to set up, children then engage in hands-on exploration and play, to help cement the ideas they've just learnt about.
Every in-person session lasts 45-60 minutes, led by a qualified and experienced teacher and includes:
-
A sensory warm up
-
A mystery bag to introduce the theme
-
A story on the theme of the session
-
A movement warm up or game
-
Our Little STEAMers song
-
Three hands-on STEAM activities
