Nurture Nest (AM)Sea Theme (for pre-crawling babies)

Great North Museum-Hancock Barras Bridge, Tyne and Wear, NE2 4PT
Friday 1st May 2026

Nurture Nest is a session for babies who haven't learnt to crawl yet. It is an opportunity for young babies to engage in tummy time as a group, learn songs, make new friends, and explore the senses whilst discovering some of our curious museum objects and exploring our sensory environment. 
Tummy time mats will be provided during the session but you are welcome to bring your own if you would prefer.
The session will begin with a short singing session, followed by unstructured exploration of the environment.

If your baby isn't crawling but have started to explore their own unique ways to move with confidence, you may find our curious crawlers session more suitable. 

The session theme for this round is 'The Sea'. We will explore a new theme each round. 

Upon arrival to the museum, please visit the welcome desk who can direct you to the sessions location. The session will usually take place in the Mouse House but occasionally may need to move to an alternative location in the museum.

Please ensure that you book at least 1 adult and 1 child ticket to attend this session. 

If you can, please consider purchasing a donation ticket or leaving a donation when you book today. 
We rely on the generosity of our visitors to help us keep art and heritage at the heart of the North East. Thank you.
