Child activities in Winchester area?

[lulupop]

I am soon moving to the Winchester area, and have a 4yr old son and 18 month old daughter. I would like to start them in a few different activity classes (music & movement, sport, etc), to help them make friends in the new area as much as anything. I have contacted TumbleTots and Jo Jingles, but drawn a blank on swimming, and mini football for my son. Can anyone recommend good classes for children of my age?

I lived in Winchester until dd was 16 months old. There is a good leisure centre (River Park) in the middle. The parking used to be dire, but the centre does do good swimming lessons, and I think Jo Jingles is based there too. Another thing they do there is Creepy Crawlies, which your dd will like - lots of soft play for an hour. It used to be on Tues afternoon, and one or two others, during term time.
Other than that, I was surprised how little there was set up in central Winchester. You may have a local toddler group if your in one of the villages.
Also, ask about mini football at River Park - it's right by a park, so they might do something like this.
Hope this helps
