Parent & Child Play Programme
At 3D Drumchapel, we believe families thrive when they learn, play, and grow together. Our children and family services provide a wide range of fun, engaging activities that support children’s development while strengthening family bonds.
From messy play and music sessions to family outings and creative workshops, we create opportunities for children to explore, build confidence, and make friends. Parents and carers also benefit from a supportive space to connect with others, share experiences, and access guidance when needed.
We’re here to walk alongside families – offering practical support, encouragement, and a welcoming community where everyone feels included.
Messy Play
Messy Play is a hands-on, interactive session for children and their carers to explore, create, and have fun together. Using a variety of textures and materials, children develop skills like coordination, creativity, and problem-solving, while carers join in the fun, support learning, and enjoy quality time with their little ones.
It’s a relaxed, welcoming space where families can connect, play, and be part of a friendly community.
“I am so grateful for 3D. I have social anxiety and have felt so able to join in thanks to how welcoming the ladies have been. I like the lay out of the sessions, they are relaxed and easy to take part in or just enjoy the company. I feel so much better knowing I have something me and the kids can look forward too.”
Tots 2 Toddlers
Tots 2 Toddlers is a playful, welcoming session designed for little ones and their carers. Children can explore, learn, and develop new skills through songs, games, and creative activities, while carers have the chance to connect, share experiences, and enjoy quality time with their child.
It’s the perfect way to support early development, make friends, and have fun together in a safe and nurturing environment.
“I am more confident. I understand all my child's needs. My child started walking confidently because of sessions and meeting other kids.”
Afterschool Club
Our Afterschool Club provides a safe, welcoming space for children and their parents or carers to relax, have fun, and connect after the school day. Children enjoy games, creative activities, and opportunities to make friends, while parents and carers can join in, support learning, and spend quality time together.
It’s the perfect way for families to unwind, play, and be part of a supportive community.
“I have loved bringing the kids and being outside. Cole loves outdoors - our motto is your skin is waterproof so even on wet days we loved it. Ruby-rose made a wonderful journal to show her dad. we loved having our food baked on the fire. A great new experience and look forward to trying ourselves. Thank you for a lovely time up the woods.”
Movin’ n Groovin’
Movin’ n Groovin’ is a fun, energetic session where children and their carers can dance, move, and explore rhythm together. Through music, songs, and playful activities, little ones develop coordination, confidence, and social skills, while carers join in the fun and enjoy quality time with their child.
It’s a joyful way to be active, connect as a family, and make friends in a welcoming, supportive environment.
“Myself and the kids love coming to the sessions to talk and play with new people. The kids love learning songs and games. the group and staff are amazing and make us feel welcome and take the time to get to know me and the children.”
Children & Family One-to-One Support (Ages 1–12)
Our one-to-one support is designed to help children and their families thrive. Working with children aged 1–12, we offer personalised one-to-one support, tailored to journey with each family through any challenges they may face. This helps nurture emotional wellbeing, build confidence, and develop social and life skills.
Families also benefit from practical guidance, strategies, and resources to manage everyday challenges, strengthen relationships, and create a positive, nurturing home environment.
By working together with parents, carers, and children, we aim to empower families, support healthy development, and ensure every child and family has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
