Our fun, interactive Wee Play classes have been
designed especially for families with children aged 2 – 5
to become more active together. Taking part in the
classes not only helps wee ones to get active, it also
develops their balance, coordination and movement
skills through fun games and activities.
Wee Play are offering groups an unique
opportunity to upskill their existing staff
to deliver the programme in their local
area.
