Adventure Babies

Hello, I’m Morgan and I am really excited to bring Adventure Babies baby classes to Sherburn in Elmet, Garforth, Church Fenton, and York. Storytelling is such a magical way to bond with your baby and there is no greater gift to pass on than a love for reading.
Enjoy the bonding experience of snuggling up with a good book, hearing, seeing, feeling and smelling the different characters who tell the story. Explore our sensory activities and take home brilliant ideas to support your baby in their development.

Parents of a toddler? Our sensory storytelling classes are the perfect place to fall in love with books and reading!

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!

Baby Band

LIVE MUSICIANS – Throughout your little one’s Baby Band journey we will provide them with a range of live musicians to listen to, play and sing along with, and ultimately be inspired to become one themselves.

CHANGING GENRES – Yes, babies and toddlers are the central focus to our classes but the musical skills taught are done so through regularly changing genres of music that, as adults, you will love.

REAL INSTRUMENTS ONLY – children use their fine motor skills to explore the instruments, manipulate them and take responsibility for tidying them up (a familiar routine of our classes that the children absolutely love!)

RELAXED AND WELCOMING – whatever your little people want to do goes for your 45 minute session. As your little one engages with the instruments in the way they choose to, you have time to make life-long friendships during our dedicated chatting songs.

EVENTS – Baby Band provides incredible live events, including a huge summer festival, and school holiday pop ups that the whole family can enjoy. And of course you can book your little one a Baby Band party that includes a free gift!

WHEN AND WHERE?

Monday – Brayton and Boston Spa

Tuesday – Monk Fryston and The Grange Cafe, Wetherby

Wednesday – Aberford

Thursday – Sherburn – In – Elmet

Friday – South Milford

Blaze Trails

Blaze trails offer free baby-carrying, pushchair friendly and toddler friendly organised walks. It’s a great opportunity to get outside and meet like-minded parents. We try to offer weekly walks in a number of locations across the North Yorkshire and East Yorkshire region. We walk in most weather as long as we have the right kit and our babies are happy, it’s good to get out!
Parents, carers, grandparents and expectant parents are all welcome to join any walk.
The walk organisers are parents themselves so understand the challenges of an unexpected nappy change or feed. The walks are baby friendly so you just need to shout up and we will all stop together!

The day and times of walks vary, so make sure you check out the walk details on the website or app.

All the walk information is accessed on our website which you can register for free at www.blazetrails.org.uk.

Families can take advantage of a great value membership option, which is available from couples up to large families without limit. Whereas children of primary school age and their parents/guardians (if they only wish to play tennis with their children) can join free of charge. There is also a low-cost junior member option.

Members can make us of the club’s supply of tennis rackets (various sizes) and tennis balls, including balls specifically for younger players. Coaching is available for children starting at the age of 4 and there are often tennis camps for juniors during school holidays (there is an additional charge for coaching and camps).

For adults, there is the opportunity to play competitive league tennis with mixed, men’s and ladies’ doubles teams featuring in the York leagues at various levels. There are also various events promoting social play.

Whilst it is predominantly a members’ club, there is the facility for non-members to use the club’s West Court for a small fee.

There is a car park on-site, with a children’s play area next to the courts. The small clubhouse provides toilet facilities.

Find us on FACEBOOK

The Award winning My Baby Can Dance ® gives young children the chance to enjoy dancing, singing and movement to music whilst learning and developing confidence, imagination, strength, balance and co-ordination….and so much more.

Early years education is combined with dance, movement, great music and activities to create a family fun, structured and educational environment. The quality of content and value for money means you can enjoy a high standard of preschool activity whilst being an affordable option.

What has coming to My Baby Can Dance meant to you since the pandemic? 

“I wouldn’t even know where to start. A godsend from pre Covid and post. The classes have really helped Margots confidence and we look forward to coming every week 🥰🥰🥰”

“Thank you Sam for all of your wonderful sessions and for your patience with the technology.  We love your enthusiasm and the variety of songs you do! Violet’s favourites are heads, shoulders, knees and toes and wiggly woo but we enjoyed shake your sillies out today! Having not actually been to one of your face to face classes yet, I really didn’t know what to expect but you have really helped us have some fun and routine through lockdown! Thanks also for your tummy time advice! ”

“My little girl absolutely loves My Baby Can Dance. We have been going for a couple of months now. Sam is fantastic and really makes the babies feel so special. We look forward to it every week!”

“I’ve been going with my little boy and 2 friends with their girls, Brilliant class. Sam accommodates everyone’s needs and if you miss a class she will try and get you in on another. All the babies love it. Its really relaxed, you don’t feel rushed, have time to chat to other parents. Sam’s so good with all the little ones gives them all her time! Highly recommended!”

Price Freeze: The MBCD team care greatly about each and every family that joins them, understanding the rise in cost of living and the recent pandemic, they are freezing prices for the foreseeable future and haven’t increased the cost of their classes since September 2017.

Class Flexibility: The MBCD team understand that some parents and carers work shifts, or that from time to time something can come up that prevents families attending class. While classes cannot be rolled over and deducted from next term, they offer super flexibility by enabling classes to be reclaimed by attending any other class in the same week, or alternatively the class can be gifted to a friend or family member. Shift workers are accommodated by having classes on 4 days of the week for toddlers and 3 days per week for babies. Parents can switch between classes according to the shift pattern week by week. 

Covid safety: Covid Safety is always a priority so we are still keeping our classes small and safe with usual cleaning of our kit and equipment.

Work with us: We are always looking to hire more self employed leaders and there are also new franchise opportunities available in the area now. Contact us for more information.

Classes are available in and around STAG and be viewed and booked via the website.

Water Babies Swim School

Water Babies is the world’s leading Baby and Toddler swim school, swimming over 50,000 babies per week.

We’ll teach you to teach your little one to swim, from lesson one we’ll get your little one used to the sensation of water, developing their natural instincts and transforming these into core aquatic skills. Throughout our programme we use lots of song, games, toys and sensory activities suitable to each child’s stage of development, ensuring both you and your little one are having lots of fun whilst having precious time together and developing new skills. Swimming offers precious one to one time for you and your little one, whilst also offering the opportunity to meet lots of other parents and children in a relaxed and friendly environment.

By the end of our programme your little one will be swimming freely using different strokes and be able to keep themselves safe in and around water.

We work closely with Swim England, the governing body and we’ve woven their learn to swim framework through our programme. So you’ll be simply amazed at the progress your little one makes. And not only will they be able to swim independently and have learnt a skill for life – they will have grown in confidence too.
