Baby, Toddler and Pre-school

We have a variety of activities for you and your smaller family members. As the YMCA, we believe stronger children and families build stronger communities and so we strive to provide you and your children with many different experiences to support their personal and social development from a young age.

Little Ones Love Swimming

Or look into our Swimming Lessons and Activities for Babies, Toddlers and Pre-school children.
Of course you can go swimming together at times that suit you. Check out our centre Timetables for public swimming times.

Little Ones Love Socialising and Playing

We have many popular options for quality, low cost Childcare and Parent and Toddler Groups giving them and you the opportunity to play together, meet friends and have fun. Don’t forget our Creche Services also give you the opportunity for some active adult time, while your little ones get some time out from you!
Harry’s Indoor Soft Play Centre is a great place for little ones aged 6 months up to 10 years old.
