Our storytelling supports the first stage of reading where toddlers gain an understanding of print awareness and the mechanics of how books work. Adventuring around our sensory activity areas gives opportunity to practice new vocabulary, discuss the story and characters and practice the beginnings of mark making in our messy play. There is plenty to keep even the most adventurous toddler busy whilst support their language and communication development, physical development, social and emotional development, and last but not least their cognitive development!”

Water confidence builds life confidence.
Our leading swim programme has been developed to build water confidence and skills throughout your little one’s first five years. We work closely with Swim England, the national governing body for swimming, and we’ve woven their learn to swim framework through our programme. You’ll love nothing more than seeing their progression as your little one moves from fun floating, kicking and splashing to swimming independently.
And not only will your little one develop key aquatic skills, but we’ll also give them the knowledge to keep themselves safe. By the end of their journey, your child will be able to independently swim to the side and climb out to safety, wherever they are.
You can be safe in the knowledge that you’re learning from the best. Our teachers are the only ones who can hold Swim England’s Level 3 qualification, the highest that can be achieved. And they’re the most passionate around, there to guide you at every stroke of your little one’s journey. Because the more confident they are in the water, the more confident they’ll be out of it too.
So what are you waiting for? When they’re ready, we’re ready.

Baby signing is a fantastic skill to learn with your little one, enabling you to communicate with each other from an early age and encourage their social development.
Our great fun, music based classes support your family, as you discover the benefits for yourself!
Sing and Sign Babes is a gentle 5 week music and sensory course with an emphasis on communication. Suitable from birth to 6 months. This lovely class explores eye contact, gesture, and anticipation, together with lots of cuddles, tickles and some simple signs. All building the framework for communication, brought to you using our magic ingredient – music!
The Stage 1 course introduces 6-14 month olds, and their families, to the wonders of baby signing. Over 100 signs are covered in the 10 week course, relating to daily routines (like meal times, getting changed, bedtime etc), animals, vehicles and lots more.
The Stage 2 course gives 14-30 month olds, and their families, the opportunity to enjoy more complex topics, with more physical exertion! More animals to encounter, colours to explore, and lots of weather conditions to experience over the 10 weeks! As children develop speech, having the support of a physical gesture alongside emerging words, makes it much less frustrating for everyone!
Learn to communicate with your baby before they can talk!
TinyTalk classes use BSL (British Sign Language) signs and gestures to help babies communicate before they can speak.
Baby signing can hugely reduce babies’ frustration as it gives them the ability to tell you what they need, and gives you a window into your baby’s mind as they begin to explore this big new world!
We teach signs through fun methods that appeal to little ones right from the beginning of their communication journey. Classes are welcoming, relaxed & fun, and include singing, music, sensory activities and instruments- all to support your baby’s development.
There are weekly themes like family, pets, bedtime etc, to give you the signs you need in everyday life with your baby. We also have social time in every class, where you can relax whilst having a cuppa and biscuit, meet new friends and have a chat, whilst your babies have playtime and do baby socialising of their own!
Come along and let me help you support your little ones in sharing their wants, needs, and amazing insight into the world with you!
