Best Start Swansea In Swansea, there is a big campaign to give children the best start in life. Getting outside and exploring the natural environment from an early age helps children to learn and develop lots of important skills and better understand the world around them. It is also a great way to have fun and keep active and healthy. There are a number of regular children’s clubs in the area which enable children to interact with nature. For example, Seedlings is a weekly pre-school activity group run by Forest School SNPT; Cwm Clydach Kites and Dippers is a monthly RSPB Group for 8–18yr olds; and Gower Society Youth is a regular activity club for young people and their parents. There are also many one-off activities for children and families including the Beach Sculpture Festival sessions, the Llys Nini Trails, Seashore Safaris and BikeAbility’s Tots on Tyres.
