When I first discovered my love for Science I had just moved to secondary school. I don’t honestly remember doing any science at primary school. It was a shame because it became my favourite subject. All the way through secondary school and on to A Levels where I studied Biology, Chemistry and Physics.
Little House of Science offers project based weekly after- & in- school maths and science workshops for children ranging from 3 to 11 years of age as well as experiential sessions for babies and toddlers from 6 months.
They aim to make the classes fun. The little scientists get hands-on learning sophisticated maths and science, instead of just watching us make things go ‘pop’ and ‘bang’.They want to help contribute to children’s understanding of how nature and the world around them works.
Their reputation has grown quickly as a company and they have a serious interest in teaching the children – making Little House of Science a better choice for parents.
Little House of Science has set up an annual Young Scientist Award together with the Institute of Physics, run the kids section at the annual Royal Society Summer Exhibition and works together with the Science Museum in London hosting joint guided tours.
They run a franchise as well which is perfect for people looking to work with children and help little future scientists.
The Classes:
Little Discovery – Age 6-12, 12-24 months
A class for mum and baby discovering the fascinating world around us. A new topic is taken each week and it’s explored and investigated through the senses. Babies are introduced to new ideas, shapes, colours, textures and sounds.
Little Maths,
Little Science – 3-4, 4-7 and 5-8 years
Little Science offers weekly in-school or after school workshops for children aged 3-8 years. These classes help lay the foundations for future academic progress. The children will learn about problem solving, decision making and how to process information.
Big Science – 8-11 years
Big Science classes are in-school or after school workshops and focus on expanding the knowledge learned in the eariler classes.
Here is a little bit about Little House of Science:

Ahhh! I have a degree in Biology so I'd love something like this in my area! Hopefully they become really successful and expand… Hmm… unless I break away from my job and franchise but that's far too big and scary a thought! x #triballove
these sound amazing, giving them a head start. also to keep them less bored during the summer holidays 😛
These classes sound a great idea, making education fun is the key to success with kids 🙂
