Our fun photography sessions are specially designed to introduce children as young as two years old to this creative art form, whilst at the same time having an educational perspective.

The children will be using either iPad/tablet devices or simple to operate compact cameras.

The workshops’ scheduling is totally flexible to fit around the nursery school day and session times.

Where different groups of children attend the morning and afternoon periods, we frequently run an hour session for each on the same day and spread the series of workshops over several weeks.

This perfectly accommodates the ‘World Around Us’ module, providing the opportunity to photographically capture the changing landscape of the school grounds over the running time of the series.
