This class may have a large age range, but it is still the same calm and relaxed environment that we aim to have in all our classes! With some babies crawling, bum shuffling or walking the class structure is a bit more fluid and is aimed at the babies that are there. The songs are the same but the actions are interchangeable so that everyone can get involved. It is very much run depending on who attends, so each week might be different but that just adds to the chaotic fun of the class! There is lots of fun songs, rhymes, stories and sounds for your baby and toddler to explore and engage with.
The older babies and toddlers will have some interesting props and toys to explore throughout the class in the central social space, while the younger ones will have some toys to be curious about on their mats. This means that sometimes babies and toddlers are not near their adult when we sing our songs, and our focus shifts from moving their bodies to interact with the songs, to the adults doing the gestures and encouraging babies and toddlers to copy and follow.
Some time is spent in class to talk to one and other, to support each other and to continue to nurture our new parenting relationships, building and securing your tribe.
I know that for some, it is difficult to get separate childcare for little ones to attend all the baby classes so I wanted to be able to offer this mixed class. This class is still run small to ensure we are not overwhelmed and so that I can tailor the class to the needs of the children attending.
The class is priced per mat and there will be a maximum of 2 children and 1 adult per mat. Multiples (such as twins) only count as 1 child for the purposes of this rule.
