In classes for 0-12m (Baby Music & Development), learn WHY we sing, laugh and sign with our children – yes, believe it or not IT IS A SCIENCE! Introduce your baby to the Hello song, meet Boo-Boo the puppet, and have fun with musical instruments, bubbles, twirly lights, and fully interactive songs. Children are dexterous before they are verbal, so simple BSL will be incorporated for early communication alongside full explanations of the neuroscience behind what you are doing with your baby as you go along.

In classes for 12-24m (Interactive Toddler Music), the focus now moves to encouraging your child to practise skills for themselves rather than you, as a parent, modelling them. These sessions are for movers; join in with the Hello Song, meet Boo-Boo the puppet, jump and dance around to the interactive songs, play with the hands-on musical instruments (all cleaned before the class!), chase the bubbles and the twirly lights, finish by signing our Goodbye song. And – best of all – they don’t get trampled by older children!
