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
Points to note –
  • All sessions must be booked online in advance.
  • A medical/consent form will be needed when you book or when child is booked in. We will send you an email to complete the form prior to the class starting.
  • A parent/guardian must stay with their child during the 6 month to 21 month and 21 month–3 years classes.
  • Please make sure you accompany children to the sports hall at pick up and drop off times.
