Learning for life through exploration
In Mini Methwold we have spaces dedicated to a shop, kitchen and cafe, doctors, hairdressers, Post Office and even a fire station all to be explored.
​
An enclosed outside area provides space for outdoor play, with a playhouse and more role play opportunities.

Letting imaginations flow and develop
Role play is essential in children's learning and development, so with this in mind Mini Methwold has been designed to promote little people’s social development, encourage friendships, sharing, listening and most importantly to have fun.
We're open!
Mini Methwold role play room and the Enchanted Forest party room are open and available for private hire for parties or groups. Stay and Play sessions are happening again. Dates are published here and on Facebook. We have started using Eventbrite to manage bookings, so click on the link to book your place
Hire a Room
The whole of Mini Methwold is available for hire for children’s parties (up to 20 children) or for a group of carers and children getting together (one person to book). The rooms can be hired separately or together.
Please note food is NOT permitted in Mini Methwold in order to maintain hygiene and minimise the cleaning which is undertaken by volunteers

The maximum number permitted in either room is 36 people, including adults

Stay and Play
Stay and Play sessions are held regularly, run by volunteers. When we run sessions, dates are published, both here and on our Facebook page.
​
A Stay and Play session costs £4.00 per child (no cost for accompanying adults or babies who are not yet walking). Booking is essential. Please use the Eventbrite links to book and pay online
​
We don't have any Stay and Play sessions planned at the moment but hope to start these again in the Autumn. Why not get together with a group of friends and hire Mini Methwold for a session just for you?
