Yorkshire Wildlings, based in West Bretton, is excited to be bringing you stay and play sessions to children. 

 

Wednesday are our Little Wildlings, aged 3 to 6, and Sundays are our family day, open to all children aged 3 upwards. 

 

Children attending can expect a range of adventurous activities.

Will your child learn how to make shelter using materials found in the woodland, or make a tower to defend in water fights? 

Will they find balance on our tightrope, swing in our hammocks, and eat s’mores on a fire they helped build and light? 

 

We also offer a range of creative crafts, discovery sessions and lots of fun.

Will they get messy creating mud sculptures, and learning about the natural environment hunting for bugs? 

 

To find out more, and to book your child’s place, visit www.yorkshirewildlings.co.uk 

 

We look forward to seeing you on camp

Puddle Ducks … The Perfect IntroDUCKtion to Swimming

 

Puddle Ducks Wakefield runs classes in pools across Wakefield, Barnsley, Sheffield, Bradford & South Leeds, and we have just celebrated our 15th year in business!

Our Baby & Pre-School programme (0-4 years) provides a wonderful bonding experience and our progressive lesson plans instil a water confidence and love of swimming. Our highly trained and qualified teachers are experts at identifying children’s levels of ability and adapting activities to the individual, nurturing confidence and encouraging natural ability, all whilst having lots of fun.

 

Our Baby & Pre-school programme is offered through six levels:

Floaties (0-9 months),
Splashers (6-15 months),
Kickers (15 months to 2.5 years),
Little Dippers (2-5 years) and
Dippers and Dabblers (2-5 years ability related classes)

 

For older children, whether they have come from a pre-school class or never been in the water before, Swim Academy (4-10 years) will take your child from ‘getting their faces wet’ to being an independent swimmer and who knows, maybe a future Olympic champion.

 

Teaching independent swimming from birth. That’s the Puddle Ducks difference.

 

Classes run on every day of the week in local pools, find your nearest pool here
