ClapHandies FAQ

Where do the classes take place?

We run PlayLabs in multiple venues and we’re always developing more. See our latest list and pick your preferred location here.

What ages are the classes suitable for?

Our PlayLabs are designed for three age groups:

• Babies: 6 weeks - 7 months
• Wobblers: 8 months - 15 months
• Toddlers: 16 months - 3.5 years

Find out more about the PlayLabs here.

What are the class times?

Most of our classes follow this schedule:
Toddlers at 9:45am, Wobblers at 10:45am, and Babies at 11:45am. Each session runs for about 50 minutes.

Class times can vary a little depending on the venue, so be sure to check your specific location for the exact schedule. You can find all the details on times and dates here.

How are the PlayLabs priced?

Each term runs for 7 weeks and the price is €133. Twins or siblings get 50% off, so just €199 for two.

How many places are in each class?

Generally, our venues can have a maximum of 16 adults and their little ones. Some smaller rooms can only cater for 14.

What do I need to bring?

• A bottle of hand sanitizer (we will have spare).
• A small blanket or muslin to put on top of our yoga mats (e.g. the size of a travel change mat). 
• Most importantly, bring yourself, your little one and your smiles!

What should I do if my child, or me, is ill?

We ask you not to attend the PlayLabs if you or your child has any of these conditions: Vomiting bug, diarrhoea, chickenpox, impetigo, hand, foot and mouth disease, conjunctivitis or other similar contagious conditions.

Please wait until your doctor has given the all-clear before returning to the PlayLabs. In the instance of vomiting and diarrhoea, your child must be clear of all symptoms for at least 48 hours before attending the PlayLabs again.

If you have COVID-19 please follow the latest HSE advice.

What if I can’t make a class?

We know things come up - so we offer free makeup classes if you miss a session.

Here’s how it works:

- You can make up 2 missed classes per term

- If you miss a class, just email us at [email protected], before the end of your term, and we’ll send you a voucher code to book your make-up.

- Make-up vouchers are valid for a generous 2 years (yes, really)!

- Make-up classes are available only during week 5 or 6 of each term - subject to space. You might need to attend at a different venue or in a future term, depending on availability.

- Please note: Make-up vouchers can't be exchanged for cash or transferred to someone else.

This added flexibility means you won't miss out on the ClapHandies fun - even if life gets in the way now and then!

Can I come for a trial class?

Can't make it to a full term? Or would like to try out a class?

Drop-in PlayLabs are available to book from Week 5 of the term, where you can book in for a single class  - price at €20 per class.
