For a fun, interactive play session that you and your baby will both enjoy come and join us at Discovery Tots. Here, we introduce a whole range of activities and techniques to help you and your baby get more out of your play times in ways that are not only beneficial for your baby's development, but also lots of fun. The programme recognises that babies learn with their whole body and all of their senses. Each 40-minute class is filled with lots of different experiences to stimulate, delight and encourage development in a relaxed, loving and fun environment. Even at such a young age, structured playtime helps a child to feel secure, giving them the confidence to explore, learn and grow which makes their development more rapid and learning more fun. It is also a great place to start building social skills, first by watching and later through interaction with the other babies. This Discovery Tots class is suitable for children aged 3-8 months old.

At this age, the average infant has an awareness of their environment: noises, music, people, etc. Their brain is developing at an extremely fast rate, taking in and processing massive amounts of information. Children at this age first learn how to roll from the back to tummy and begin pushing their chest from the ground (4 -6 months), try to crawl (7 -9 months), and enter the pre- walking phase (10- 12 months). Alongside these developmental milestones, infants attempt fine motor movements such as reaching and grasping for objects, waving and clapping. A fun class for children aged 4-10 months. Please contact The Little Gym for a full price list.
