Classes and live music events for you and your little people!

Here at Baby Band, we offer fun and educational classes full of music for little people, aged 3 months to 4 years, in and around York.

Led by our skilled and experienced class leaders, we sing, dance and play with REAL instruments to explore different musical concepts. Whatever your ability, itā€™s all about learning how to be musical with your little one and helping them develop a love of music in a relaxed atmosphere.

Donā€™t worry, you wonā€™t be subjected to endless twee nursery rhymes here! Every few weeks we focus on a different genre of music from musicals to 90s pop, jazz to Disney classics, rock to girl bands. Itā€™s much more fun when we all enjoy the music.

If your little one is feeling a bit cool for ā€˜Baby Bandā€™ then why not join one of our ā€˜Iā€™m with the Bandā€™ classes. A music class aimed just for the big ones (well, 3 & 4 year olds!) which dives deeper into learning key musical terms and concepts but in the coolest way possible.

Classes run throughout the year including the school holidays where older siblings can join too for a small extra cost.

At Baby Swimmers we follow the Starfish Awards, so little ones can gain water confidence and build a foundation to swim unaided in the future. We play games and sing songs which are skill related and also teach water safety skills so they can learn to swim back to the side, hold on and climb out when they are strong enough.

Our structured classes work towards this and are also fantastic for bonding with your little one, as well as enjoying yourselves in a fun relaxed atmosphere, which we always ensure is at your little oneā€™s own pace including underwater swims. Babies use their natural reflexes when they are in water, so it is always a good idea to start as soon as you can, as swimming is a great workout and helps to strengthen their muscles and also increases alertness.

For toddlers we follow the STA Stanley Awards, so again little ones can gain water confidence and build a foundation to swim unaided. For this age group we still sing songs and have fun with games and also start to teach the basic strokes, continuing with water safety skills and teaching your toddler to hold on, turn, then push off the side to swim to you independently. Classes will focus on floating, learning to tread water, rolling, push and glides, diving for sinkers and more.

Swimmers Academy is for our older swimmers where we focus on stroke technique and stamina, classes run for any age from Beginners and go through to Gold also incorporating Lifesaving Awards.
All teachers are fully qualified with specialist training for your little ones. Our classes are child led to ensure each child is taught and developed at their own pace.

ROKO health club York have been successfully teaching children to swim with some of the best swim teachers in York since 2008. They offer lessons for both members and non-members at an affordable rate.

They run swimming lessons every night after school from 3:45pm and both Saturdays & Sundays from 09:15am. Their choice to enrol a maximum of 6 children per class enables the ROKO swim team to deliver a high standard of teaching in a relaxed and calm environment.

They cover stages 1-7 every day of the week and they also offer weekly intensive swim courses for beginners in the school holidays.

ROKO York currently have waiting list in place however, if you are on the waiting list and you take part in one of their school holiday intensive courses, it moves you to a priority list which will get you a place on their programme much faster.

Swimming with Linzi is all about having fun whilst learning to swim, gaining water confidence and safety skills.

With only 7 children in each class, only 1 lesson running at a time & the whole pool to ourselves, we have lots of space. In this environment I find my swimmers really enjoy their lessons and thrive learning to swim following the progressive STA guidelines.

IĀ  get to know all the children individually & adapt my teaching to suit every child. Your child will be enabled to happily progress at their own pace.

Classes are based at Carr Junior School (Acomb) and Robert Wilkinson School (Strensall), teaching from babies through to school age and beyond on various days, at various times. See the website below for more details and toĀ book.

About me;Ā I run a small independent swim school set up after training and teaching my own children to swim many years ago. I realised then that the whole goal to swimming success is learning through having fun!

I have over 16 years of swimming teaching experience and I am a fully qualified STA Swimming Instructor, STA baby and pre-school teacher. I hold a Level 3 STA Diploma in Aquatic Teaching for Baby and Pre-school, STA lifeguard certificate and have DBS clearance.

Perform with Emma Bassett

Perform with Emma Bassett Dance Act and Sing classes prides itself on building a childā€™s confidence and improving their self-esteem for their everyday lives, as well as learning new skills in Dance Acting and Singing for the stage.

My Perform classes are held in the dance studio at York college and venues at Copmanthorpe and Bishopthorpe. I put on regular shows held at the York Joseph Rowntrees theatre every year.
