Mini Movers – Music and movement session for children who are steady on their feet up to 4 years. Learn vital movement and coordination skills, along with social skills and confidence building. Make friends, have fun and be school ready! Children must be supervised by a parent or carer at all times at a maximum ratio of two children per adult.

Walk and Explore – Take in the nature of our wonderful green spaces with this short walk and explore session. Each session is themed, allowing children to interact, have fun and learn as they go! Suitable for children aged 2 – 4 years. Maximum ratio of 2 children to 1 adult.

Biker Tots – Give your child the best start to life on two wheels by encouraging balance, mobility and coordination and avoid using stabilisers altogether.
