At SCALLYWAGS we split our sessions into age grouped classes.

Under 2 Years

This is the youngest class that we do and it is a gentle introduction into our sessions.  During the class the parent/carer stays with the child the whole time. In this class the children come in and can go straight out on the equipment to play, there is lots of soft play and climbing equipment for your child to climb up/slide down, rollers to be rocked on, trampettes to bounce on, a ball pond, tent, tunnel, hoops, balls, bean bags etc etc!! Halfway through the session we come together to do some nursery rhymes and songs and then towards the end of the class the group comes together again to either sing some more songs, use the tap sticks or play with the parachute.

If your child does not want to sit and sing the songs at the beginning or end of the class please don't worry, we do not force children to do anything if they would rather explore the equipment thats fine - just make sure you stay with then for their safety.

 2 - 3 Years

In this class the children are becoming more confident with the equipment so we are encouraging them to try different things, for example helping them to roll down a soft wedge, swing like a monkey on the bars, walk sideways across a plank.  We still come together for songs half way through the lesson but we also introduce simple games, for example 'traffic lights' where the children have to run when we say green and stop when we say red.  We also encourage them to do more advanced things with the coordination apparatus -  bouncing balls, rolling hoops etc.

If your child does not want to sit and sing the songs please don't worry, we do not force children to do anything if they would rather explore the equipment thats fine - just make sure you stay with then for their safety.
