Older toddlers have fun with their friends and develop a strong musical foundation for their future learning. TIME TO SING Songs for dressing up and telling simple stories! ‘Pretending’ is an important new area of learning as exploration and self expression builds self confidence. Through positive music interaction with each other, our toddlers are also learning important lessons about boundaries and how to handle frustration! TIME TO MOVE Toddlers are keen to get to know each other – bigger more exciting props such as hoops and parachute are excellent for sharing and making friends! Holding hands with partners in Monkey’s circle dances often makes the grown-ups feel very happy too! TIME TO PLAY Composing music is something that comes naturally to our Jiggety-Jiggers! Their strong musical foundation gives them super musical confidence. Props, images, music, stories and poems inspire our little monkeys as they create and perform their own special music. TIME TO SLEEP Most of our classes end with a little time for quiet reflection. Our Jiggety-Jiggers are gently reminded to practise new songs at home using some song words which may be printed from the Monkey Music Club. They may also be invited to bring something from home, to show in class the following week, as part of class topic discussions. Our Monkey Music Jiggety-Jig classes are Stage three for 2 + 3 years old.

(Parent participation required) Little Kicks is the perfect introduction to the fun world of Little Kickers. Children are introduced to the basics of football (dribbling, striking, goal scoring etc.) in a play-oriented yet structured format, using child-friendly but realistic football equipment. Each child is given the opportunity to work within their ability level but taught in a group environment. Classes also provide a fantastic opportunity for you to assist in your child’s early education, helping them develop physically as well as improving cognitive and social skills. KEY FEATURES: - 45-minute class - Weekly classes - One coach with up to 12 children OR two coaches for 13 to 16 children - Each child receives a football kit - 4 unique badges to collect across the Little Kicks programme LEARNING TO LEARN The main focus of Little Kicks is what we call ‘learning to learn’. Our coaches are taught specific techniques that enable children to get the most out of our classes. We believe that play is one of the greatest development tools and when combined with repetition and structure, ensures effective learning. Classes involve a number of games that require parents to put on their running shoes and get actively involved in the session. However, some games are specifically targeted at developing independence. These transition games mean children as young as two will be able to play independently of their parent or guardian. FUNdamentals & Badge Certification Little Kicks teaches the fundamentals of football in a fun learning environment through a series of games using our tried and tested structure. Our Little Kicks receive quarterly badges which highlight the key physical, cognitive and football skills they are exposed to in our programme. Our Little Kickers absolutely love showing their badges to their teammates and family! The primary goal is to settle children into the structure of the session, improve their confidence and attention, develop their basic motor skills and develop a good kicking technique.

Junior Kickers builds on the foundation skills and football basics learnt in Little Kicks. Using a familiar structure, children are challenged both physically and mentally. For those children who started in Little Kicks, independent participation is encouraged. If your child has just joined us you may need to stay close-by for a few weeks, but the ultimate goal is for children to be able to participate on their own. The format remains learning through play and because children are allowed to work to their own ability, it is suitable for complete beginners. Play and games are at the heart of everything we do. Our games cleverly disguise the learning aspect so the children just think they are playing. The more the children enjoy the games, the more they participate. This enjoyment leads to greater confidence, which in turn leads to self-initiated participation and independent play.

Our Mini Mozart Toddlers classes are suitable for children ages 14 months - 4 years old. The main difference between Mini Mozart and other music classes is that we only use Live Music and at least 2 musicians perform and interact with the children at every class. Parachutes, bubbles, instruments and puppets just add to the musical fun! Come prepared to enjoy music! ABOUT MINI MOZART CLASSES Mini Mozart offers fun and interactive live music classes for toddlers and babies. The classes feature two or more live instruments; a clarinet, violin, flute, French horn, saxophone or trumpet with a piano accompanist. The idea of Mini Mozart is to get children actually listening, not just hearing. Children interact with our live musicians in a way that is impossible with recorded music. It’s hard to say which will be your favourite part of the class; the warm up where the teachers introduce their instruments allowing your little one to get up close and touch the instruments, or the part where they reveal their suitcase full of fun props that will entice your child on an interactive musical adventure. There’s no doubt that seeing the children’s captivated faces as we open up an instrument case and show them how to put it together to make a sound is hugely gratifying as a musician. For the parents it’s entrancing. The Mini Musical part of the class is based on a different fairy tale each week and this is where we use every trick in the book to awaken the musician in each child. Many children experience things primarily through the visual, so our pianist plays contrasting excerpts of fast and slow Classical Music while the adults move the parachute in time over the children’s heads so that they see as well as hear tempo. You’ll choose a percussion instrument to play along with ‘start and stop’ activities that really galvanise the children’s’ understanding of what a conductor does and musical ‘rests’. You’ll be mesmerised by gorgeous Classical repertoire as your child practices their hand-eye co-ordination touching bubbles softly floating in the air. Remember all the songs your parents sang to you? That’s what you will hear in class. Classic nursery rhymes weaved into a classic children’s story with Classical Music. That’s not to say we don’t give it a modern twist though! For example, when Cinderella’s carriage turns into a pumpkin, she gets the night bus home and we all sing ‘The Wheels On The Bus’. When the Three Little Pigs despatch the Big Bad Wolf, we celebrate by singing The Oakey Cokey. We often find the parents love the songs as much as the children because the musical arrangements transform the songs from dull to delightful! Check us out on iTunes if you don’t believe us! Our classes run for 40 minutes during school term times and both get oversubscribed, so if you’re even thinking you might like it, book your baby or toddler on to one of our music classes now.
