Physical Activity & Play Programme

Buggy Fitness Class

Buggy Fitness is a ‘Walk for Health’ programme, led by trained walk leaders and is for parents/carers and children.

 Our health walk is a purposeful, brisk walk, it is a great opportunity to exercise and socialise outdoors, while contributing to the moderate physical activity.

 Getting outside in nature can make us feel good, and as we all know, taking a baby for a walk outside very often sends them to sleep. So what works for babies probably works for us too! 

 As we walk at a brisk pace toddlers must be in a pushchair during Buggy Fitness.

 During Buggy Fitness we will enjoy an outdoor walk together, giving parents and carers the opportunity for outdoor physical activity and giving our babies and toddlers some fresh air.

The Walking programme is designed to introduce mindfulness and relaxation to help stress and anxiety.

 The programme runs for 4 weeks  each session is for 45 mins

The programme is suitable for children aged 0 Years to under 2 years old

Dad's Club - Splash with me involves interactive enjoyment in water for dad's/Male Carers with infants aged from 4 months to 12 months with their parents. Very gentle moves in the early 'in arms' phase are conducive to each baby's discovery of their water balance.

You don't have to be a swimmer to take part in these classes, everyone is welcome!

Children will have the opportunity to experience outdoor fun and adventure in the woods, guided by Red Branch Bushcraft expert Diarmuid Farmer.

The physical play programme provides numerous benefits for children such as strengthening muscles and bones, helps to develop co-ordination, improves sleep and energy levels while making children feel good and elevates their mood.
