Bouncing Beans classes combine fun songs with activities that support babies’ and toddlers’ physical development. With time to explore colourful equipment, little ones build fine and gross motor skills, balance, and flexibility. It's a fun, supportive space to grow in confidence and social skills.
Jumping Beans introduces children to sport through fun, structured activities and songs. Sessions build basic skills like running, jumping, and throwing, while supporting the Curriculum for Excellence. Children develop balance, coordination, and fine motor skills, make friends, and grow in confidence.
- Children love learning the fun of active play from a young age
- They'll develop and grow gross motor skills
- Children will meet new friends and learn social skills
- Equipment and games suitable for developing Physical Literacy
- Stimulate the child's learning environment

- All sessions must be booked online in advance.
