PlayLabs
PlayLabs are run Mon to Sat in six centres across Dublin, starting with Babies (from 3 months) through Toddlers (3 1/2 yrs). We offer three separate age groups in each venue.
Join our current term:
Term 3 - now to end March, join now only pay for remaining sessions - Book now
Term 4 - starts April 12th (7 classes) - 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.
