How it works

As part of our new Toddler Time offer, families can enjoy monthly social and learning activity sessions in a subscription package each month.
 

What do these monthly sessions include?

  • a warm welcome 
  • singing and rhyme time 
  • story time 
  • exploration of the Ashmolean’s exhibits and collections 
  • an opportunity to chat with other parents and carers 
  • ideas for fun play activities which help children to learn
    PLUS regular emails to subscribers with details of what's planned for the coming month's Toddler Time activities
    Note that each of the above activities are offered in the morning and afternoon and subscribers can choose which they prefer

These sessions will be especially focused on helping toddlers develop vocabulary and guided by the Parents Early Education Partnership (PEEP) approach and in partnership with Oxford University's Baby Lab.
 

Practical information

Locations will vary from event to event and are in the galleries, so please check the details before-hand. Buggies or pushchairs are welcome in the Museum and we can also store buggies if needed. There are lifts between galleries.
