Question 1

What are LEGO Building Sessions?

Accepted Answer

Our LEGO Building Sessions are structured, coach-led classes where children build models in a supportive environment. Depending on the session type, children either build and break, build collaboratively, or build and take their model home.

Question 2

What age groups do you cater for?

Accepted Answer

Each session has a specific age range, usually between ages 7–11 or 9–13, depending on the build difficulty. Age ranges are designed to match attention span, fine motor skills, and build complexity.

How long are the sessions?

Accepted Answer

Most sessions are 90 minutes to 2 hours.
Full-day STEAM programmes run for up to 8 hours with breaks.

Sessions are generally drop-off, unless otherwise stated. Parents must remain contactable at all times.

What if my child doesn’t finish the build?

We structure sessions to allow enough time for most children to finish. If a child doesn’t complete their model, they can take it home with instructions and remaining pieces.

Question 8

Can we change the model after booking?

Accepted Answer

Model choices cannot be changed after the booking cut-off date (usually 14 days before the session), as models are ordered specifically for each child.
