Mummy/Daddy & Me

As part of our service we offer new or to be mums/dads the opportunity to meet on a Saturday morning at 10 am-11 am. Whether it’s your first baby or one of many, having a new baby can be challenging – our parent & baby groups create a relaxed social and professional environment in a convenient setting to help you share, alleviate and cope with those challenges.

The weekly meetings with 5 to 10 mums, dads & babies, provides a place to learn, socialize, connect, and rejuvenate as you make the transition into motherhood/fatherhood. Being understood by other parents will enable you to be a happy parent, and this is the most important factor in the development of a happy baby.

The group is something for you and baby to look forward to, get out of the house and help avoid loneliness. It will also help when facing various challenges, such as social and emotional health, colic and reflux, sleep issues, going back to work, etc with the support & feedback from your network.

 Activities

Stretch & Grow

Stretch & Grow

The aim of the stretch and grow programme is to get kids moving. This course is led by a qualified instructor. This course is beneficial to kids as it focuses on the following areas:

  • Development of Fundamental Motor Skill
  • Cardio Endurance
  • Flexibility
  • Balance and Coordination
  • Body Awareness
  • Well Being Education

Most of all the above is completed in a child friendly manner that is 100% FUN for all our kids and staff.

Zumba Kids

Zumba Kids

This course is perfect for young kids 2 years and up. This is led by a qualified ZUMBA instructor and gives our little ones the chance to be active whilst enjoying their favourite hits. The classes are child friendly and incorporate child friendly routines from original ZUMBA choreography. Put simply the course is broken down into child friendly steps, with games, activities and cultural exploration added to it. This class develops the child by:

  • Developing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle
  • Making exercise fun and how to implement it into a young persons life
  • Fosters leadership, respect, team work, confidence, self esteem, improved memory, creativity, co-ordination, and cultural awareness.

Yoga

Yoga

Yoga offers many psychological benefits for children as well. A growing body of research has already shown that yoga can improve focus, memory, self-esteem, academic performance, and classroom behaviour, and can even reduce anxiety and stress in children.

Football

Football

The physical wellbeing of our young children is of utmost importance. The academy has set up a football academy in order to teach the young people in our care the importance of teamwork, engaging in a positive manner and following rules. This is a skill that not only sets our later life interactions but also builds a young persons self esteem and confidence.

Mindfulness

Mindfulness

This is introduced to children in a fun and creative manner. It can be implemented via art, stories, visualisation, art and discussions. Children today have a busy lifestyle and mindfulness is of grave importance especially in light of the recent COVID outbreak. This class allows the child to relax and to calm their minds, to focus and to pay attention. Which in turn enables them to understand and to express how they feel, and think and to find empathy within themselves and with others. This allows the child to become content and happy within themselves and to project this outwards in a positive manner. This will equip the child with the strength to face life challenges from now and into their adulthood. A skill that is imperative to all.

Nature

Nature

We have created an area that allows children to be at one with nature. This is both a sensory and informative area where the children will learn the different types of plants, trees, vegetables and the texture attributed to each. The children will partake in the growing of plants onsite at the creche as well as bringing home items to their families. Essentially the life cycle of the plant etc will be taught to the child in a child friendly manner with the child actively involved in each stage.

Nutrition

Nutrition

This will be taught in a weekly basis and will focus on the health and wellbeing associated with eating the correct foods. The children will be actively involved by tasting the items as per the food pyramid. This will work in conjunction with the weekly menu.
