We provide a range of activities which will promote every part of the child's development. These include exercise activities, singing, puzzles, books as well as messy activities such as painting, drawing, gluing, playdough, sand and water.

As well as the social benefits, to both parent and child, these sessions will provide opportunities to:

• Learning to listen to and respond to instructions
• Learn to play co-operatively, take turns and share resources
• Develop a sense of rhythm
• Develop memory skills
• Promote forward thinking and planning
• Explore with a variety of media using the five senses
• Develop manipulative skills, gross motor skills, hand-eye co-ordination etc.
• Develop walking, balance, co-ordination
• Improve flexibility

There can be opportunities for parents to learn about children's development, both through staff and by visiting professionals.
