Fingal Additional Needs

Dublin

Fingal Additional Needs is a fun and inclusive experience for children with additional needs. Spaces are limited, so book your spot today. Location: The Band Room, Skerries. My name is David, and I started Fingal Additional Needs after leaving my previous job. Many parents asked me to continue supporting their loved ones with 1-1 outings, and as a parent of a child with ASD and ADHD, I know how valuable a break can be. For over 10 years, I've worked with children and adults with additional needs. After a successful year offering 1-1 support and two years running Football4All with Skerries Town, I introduced summer camps that were a huge success, leading to extra classes, and I've recently set up an afterschool class. My goal is to give parents and carers a well-deserved break while providing a fun and engaging environment for children. I'm not a therapist, but I focus on creating meaningful and enjoyable experiences for the kids - whether it's getting active, socialising, or just being happy in their own space, these sessions are designed with your child's needs in mind, whether they have ADHD, autism, Down syndrome, or other additional needs. You can check out some of the work I've done on Instagram and Facebook @fingaladditionalneeds.

Art Room 109

Galway

Play and Create by Art Room 109: classes are designed for parents and walking toddlers aged 1 to 5. These 60-minute sessions are flexible to fit your little one's routine - arrive and leave at a time that suits you. The final 10 minutes feature bubbles, music, and parachute play. Each session is thoughtfully crafted to engage both parents and toddlers in a fun and dynamic way. With up to six different open-ended art stations, this is a completely child-led class focused on play-based learning and the development of fine motor, social, and creative skills. Parents must accompany and supervise their child throughout, as classes are fully child-led with no formal teaching - my role is to guide and facilitate creativity. All sensory materials are freshly homemade, natural, and taste-safe. Washable, non-toxic paints are used, and we recommend dressing children in pre-loved clothes. These laid-back sessions encourage connection with other parents and the community while inspiring simple creative play you can try at home. Based in Kinvara, Co. Galway, Art Room 109 travels up to one hour from H91 N5P2 to bring creative workshops to schools, community centres, and private venues. Current class locations: Maree, Oranmore (Tuesdays and one Sunday a month); Kinvara (Fridays); and glór, Ennis (Thursdays, once a month from 2025).

Ardfert Parent and Toddler Group - Ardfert Community Centre -

Kerry

Join the Parent and Toddler Group in Ardfert Community Centre on Wednesdays, 9-11am, where children adore the company and space to run around in a safe, secure environment. A small donation of €2 is given by parents each visit, which goes towards funding trips and outings such as Pirate Pete's and swimming at Banna Beach Hotel, Crazy Caves in Castleisland, and Kennedy's Pet Farm. There's a supply of tea and coffee to hand at all times, and it's great to meet people going through the same challenges, from weaning to potty training and more. The group has regular visits from the local public health nurse, and visits from a physiotherapist and a life coach/parenting expert. Goals include helping children develop social skills at their own pace, building a child's emotional confidence, supporting children's imagination and creativity, and learning through role-play.

Kilmallock/Caherconlish/Hospital/Ballylanders Toddler Group

Limerick

Kilmallock/Caherconlish/Hospital/Lough Gur/Ballylanders Parent and Toddler Group in Limerick is hosted by the Hospital Family Resource Centre. Many parents/carers of young children enjoy the opportunity to meet others with similarly aged children, and parent & toddler groups are a great way for this to happen in a safe, secure environment in their own locality. All groups encourage mothers, fathers, grandparents, childminders, and carers to attend. As well as having a cuppa and a chat, each session is packed with activities such as sing-song, arts and crafts, mini olympics, colouring, face-painting and story time - shared activities among the children and their parent/carer that often give the family unit a much-needed opportunity to interact in play and enjoyment. The groups always welcome new members, as once children start school their time with parent and toddler groups comes to an end, though families often continue attending with younger children. Open to all, for children aged 0-5 years. You can register through the Hospital Family Resource Centre website. Contact: Michelle, 061-383884 or 086-888 8105, or Phil, 086-735 9650.

Bloom Baby Classes Midlands Ireland

Roscommon

Locations: Athlone, Edgeworthstown, Longford, Mullingar, Tullamore. Two classes are on offer: Caterpillar Club for babies aged 0-6 months, and Busy Bees for babies aged 6-15 months. Caterpillar Club (birth-6 months) is a gentle and calm introduction to our musical sensory classes, with activities designed to aid all areas of baby development and a strong focus on parent and baby bonding. The class awakens baby's first senses and stimulates them in a fun yet soothing way using music, sensory props and lights, ending with a chill parachute and a short guided baby massage to encourage a long nap. Busy Bees (6-15 months) is a fun, lively musical baby development class that focuses on growing baby's confidence for the world around them, encouraging fine and gross motor skills, body awareness, early language skills and rhythm. Building on the gentle activities of Caterpillar Club, this session uses instruments and branded props to support development in all areas. Classes feature a new theme every week for a whole year: during theme time, there are fun props, dress-up and music related to that week's theme, a great opportunity for Busy Bees to interact with each other while exploring props, heuristic treasure baskets and sensory lights, while Caterpillar babies work on tummy time alongside the sensory lights and themed props. It's also a great time for Bloom parents to catch up and get to know one another. Classes run: Tuesday, Mucklagh Community Centre, Tullamore; Wednesday, Mullingar Shamrocks GAA Club; Thursday, Drum Community Centre, Athlone; Friday, St Mary's Community Campus, Edgeworthstown.
