🧒 A Bundle Of Reasons Why Parents (And Kids) Love Our Preschool Class, Affectionally Know As "Beans"

🙌 If you're looking for a preschool class that's fun for your little one and enjoyable for you, Beans might be just what you're looking for.

🤝 Your child will have the chance to play, explore and socialise with other children, helping them build friendships from an early age.

🧠 Every session is designed to support their development through fun, age-appropriate activities that keep little minds and bodies active.

⭐ They'll also grow in confidence as they try new things in a safe, welcoming environment where every child is encouraged to shine.

👍Classes are split into different age groups from 6 months to 21 months, 21 months to 3 years and 3 years to 5 years to ensure we tailor activities to suit the stage your child is at.

🚗 For parents and carers, there's free on-site parking, making every visit that little bit easier.

☕ Our on-site café is the perfect place to grab a coffee before or after class.

💬 And perhaps the best part... you'll meet other local parents who are navigating the same stage of life. Many of the friendships made at Beans continue long after the classes finish.

📅 Our next block starts week beginning Monday 17th August.

💷 At just £6 per class when booked as a block, Beans is an affordable way to enjoy quality time together while giving your child a brilliant start.

💭 We'd truly love to hear from any previous "Beans" parents in the comments below about what you/your little got out of our classes.

🛟 The Realisation: Preschool Swimming Matters NOW

😳 Anxious around the pool/water recently with your preschooler?

💭 If that's happened to you this Summer, you're definitely not alone.

💦 Water safety and confidence go hand in hand, and that's exactly what our preschool swimming lessons build.

🏊 Designed for ages 3 to 5, our lessons help little ones learn real water safety skills, not just splashing about.

👩‍🏫 Our friendly qualified coaches follow Scottish Swimming's National Learn to Swim Framework, so every skill is taught safely and properly.

🌡️ Sessions take place in our teaching pool, a calm and secure space for our youngest learners.

🎉 It's playful and fun, but the safety skills your child gains will stay with them for life.

🏆 A trusted swimming lesson provider, we were finalists in Scottish Swimming's Learn to Swim Provider of the Year Award last year, 2025.

👉 Give yourself peace of mind moving forward.

💦 Comment SWIM in the comments below and we'll send you the direct link to our enquiry form.

🙌 No obligation...simply complete the online form and we'll email you details on how to view availability and you can take it from there.

🏫 We've currently got spaces in our Preschool programme at The PEAK, Balfron High, Stirling High and Wallace High with cost from £25.33 per month.

💜A Holiday Club Thank You

👩‍🍳 One of our Summer Holiday Club mums baked a full batch of cakes this week and brought them into The PEAK, just for our team.

😢 It was sadly her daughter's last time attending one of our Holiday Clubs, as she heads to high school after the Summer and she wanted to say thanks.

💪 Our coaches spend their summer keeping kids entertained and active trouble and it's not always a job that gets noticed.

❤️ So when something like happens or we receive some feedback about how much a child has enjoyed their time at our Holiday Club, it means more than people probably realise.

🙌 Thank you from all the team.

💭 We'd love to be able to share feedback with team members so if your child has enjoyed our Summer Holiday Club this Summer we'd love you to let us know in the comments.

‼️REMEMBER - we've still got very limited spaces next week which is the last week of our Summer Holiday Club so visit https://www.activestirling.org.uk/classes/summer-holiday-club now to book in before they disappear.
