Ladybirds

Walking to 30 Months

The Ladybirds Programme offers fun, physical warm-ups, including walking, running, jumping, galloping and turning upside down to encourage fine motor skill development.

Exploratory time lets your little one stretch their legs, climb, and investigate their surroundings at their own pace. Energetic group activities with parachutes, sticks, scarves, and the tumble track introduce physical and sensory play, while cheerful tunes and positive praise support movement and synchronisation.

Weekly themed classes ensure that no week is the same. As your child gets older, they'll be encouraged to explore the equipment and learn how to use it safely, fostering a sense of adventure and building a strong foundation for future learning.

Caterpillars

30 to 36 Months

The Caterpillars Programme helps prepare your child for courageous challenges. Now, they are fully mobile and curious about the wide World.

In our Caterpillars toddler class, friendly coaches become your partner in play, guiding your little one as they learn to roll independently, reach for the bars, and swing with growing confidence. They'll master balance on the beam and develop coordinated movements, all with a healthy dose of encouragement.

This stage can also bring a surge of independence, and testing boundaries might become a familiar game! But fear not, our programme helps you navigate this with fun activities that instil structure and respect for boundaries – on your terms, not theirs – ensuring a happy and enriching experience for you and your little one.
