We are currently on summer break returning September 2010

Term 1 - starts week of 13th Sept 2010 (7 classes - no classes Halloween week 25th Oct 2010) - Book now
Term 2 - starts week of 8th Nov 2010 (7 classes - no classes 4 weeks over Christmas - term ends in Jan 2011) - Book now
Which PlayLab group is right for you? * Age groups are given as a guideline only

Babies PlayLabs are from 3 months to crawling stage
Wobblers are from crawling to approx 20 months
Toddlers from 21 months to 3 1/2 years (some venues have two separate Wobbler groups)
People often ask us when should a baby move up to the wobblers PlayLab, we generally say when the mostly static baby becomes "busy" (to use a technical term), when they have really mastered crawling and are actively exploring the environment around them, if in doubt come to the younger group and see how you get on.
