Let it begin with Kindermusik!
Engaging musical experiences to help your child grow cognitively, emotionally, physically and socially. We’re meeting outdoors this summer! Join us for music, fresh air and friendship.
Foundations ‘Cuddle & Bounce’ is designed for babies, newborn to walking. Classes last 45 minutes, running in 5 week themes. Small groups lessons include creative movement, vocal play and singing, object and instrument exploration & colourful literature.
At Kindermusik, we believe parents are the best teachers and home is the best place for learning. Music is not seen as an isolated thing, taught by a specialist once a week. It‘s a daily family activity, where you’re learning and having fun together. To help you, we’ll provide you with a wonderful set of digital ‘At Home Materials‘ – class music, lyrics, e-book, activities and parental information. There’s even a Kindermusik App.
Mention ‘Mumbler Baby’ when newly enrolling to claim your free gift.
Hope to sing with you soon!
Ola’s fresh, off the beaten track photography service in York welcomes young families, babies & young children.
“It seems that capturing togetherness has never been more important to me than before.”
In difficult post-pandemic times, the studio focuses on capturing both families and individuals.
Lovingly from the stork’s photographs may engage you through the soul captured in the eyes of her models. Maybe it’s the elegantly popping colours blended with aura of dreaminess or simply the top-quality resolution of her portraits will draw you in…
Ola’s studio celebrates bliss moments from the expecting time to celebrating milestones.
Pssst… Ola shares her lovingly prepared treats with her Facebook/ Instagram followers monthly. If you join her tribe, you will also have an exclusive access to other generous perks.
There is also an exciting £12 off a session if you quote mumbler&stork2021.
Let’s dream it up & make it happen!

Our stimulating baby sessions are suitable from birth up to 1. Sessions include a range of natural movement to music and sensory activities to support your baby’s development, including eye tracking, balance, spatial awareness, bonding, hand/eye co-ordination and fine motor skills plus lots more.
The classes are relaxed, welcoming and inclusive. Numbers are deliberately kept small to ensure everyone attending feels comfortable and at ease. The structured class creates an environment where you and your baby feels secure.
Throughout my time running these classes I have seen a number of strong friendships made that continue long after their My Baby Can Dance journey has ended. A large number of families continue their journey beyond the baby classes by joining the toddler/pre school sessions
I am super proud of our friendly inclusive groups and if ever a parent needs help there is always someone on hand to listen and to reassure.

Puddle Ducks – Aquanatal
Experience the perfect balance of relaxation, laughter and exercise – a wonderful way to unwind and stay healthy during your pregnancy. Our classes are expertly designed to take a holistic approach to an expectant mums’ physical and mental well-being, combining relaxation with cardiovascular exercises to help prepare the body for birth.
Our teachers pass antenatal swimming training that is accredited by the Royal College of Midwives Trust, our own extensive aquanatal training and STA Aquacise/Aquanatal and Antenatal Swimming. This means that you are in the safest possible hands as you work out and relax.
Classes take place in the soothing, comforts of pools, providing one of the safest ways to exercise in pregnancy. The water supports your joints whilst also providing resistance work for all the muscles, strengthening your back and abdominal muscles ready for carrying your baby around! There’s a science behind it too! Exercise and relaxation release your body’s natural happy hormones, endorphins, which suppress pain and help you (and baby) feel calm – not only helpful in later pregnancy, but also really important during and after birth.
Puddle Ducks Baby and pre school classes
Babies have a natural affinity with the water and our programme gently nurtures this, building confidence, both in the child and often the parent. Our programme allows our babies, even at this early age, to make choices about how and when they put their faces in the water and is a bonding experience like no other.
Our classes are designed to teach water safety in a fun and loving environment. We take your little ones through a structured programme designed to develop their natural affinity with the water and encourage them to learn to swim independently.

Your baby arrives already primed for communication with you, searching your face for information at just a few hours old, their brain waves syncing with yours as you delight in first eye contact. But how to build on this very early communication?
Sing and Sign Babes, our five week course for little babies 0-6m, helps create a framework for super communication with your little one. Your voice, your touch, your hands and your attention are the main things that your baby will enjoy as we share in original activities as well as familiar songs, rhymes and, of course, some age appropriate signs, too, with each session touching on themes related to creating and maintaining that communicative bond.
Each class has its own WhatsApp group and extra content is shared through our course Facebook page.
Book now for courses starting w/c June 7th or register your interest for our autumn courses starting w/c September 20th and get 10% off either start date with code Mumbler10.

Swimming with Linzi is all about having fun in a safe environment whilst gaining water confidence and developing great stroke technique.
I am a small independent STA swim school; I live in Sheriff Hutton and I set up my swim school after training and teaching my own children to swim many years ago. I realised then that the whole goal to swimming success is fun!
I offer baby, toddler and pre-school lessons at Carr Junior School in Acomb, York, from 1 month old to 4 years from nurturing baby classes right through to stroke development: Monday, Thursday and Friday mornings from 9.30-12.00 pm
I also run after school classes at Robert Wilkinson School, Strensall, York, for beginners through to more advanced, once again encouraging water confidence which leads to improved stroke technique: Monday , Tuesday and Wednesday3.30-6.30 pm
I like to get to know all the children individually and adapt my teaching to suit every child. Your child will be enabled to happily progress at their own pace. All swimmers receive a STA certificate, as well as a woven badge, these are included in your fee.
Classes are fun based and relaxed with only 6 children in each class, only 1 lesson running at a time and the whole pool to ourselves, so 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 and being COVID safe.
I have over 15 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. I’ve also recently received STA COVID-19 Safety Officer Certificate.Do have a look at my facebook page for more info or get in touch.

When we sing to our babies, the following wonderful things happen: we bond, play and have fun, develop language and listening skills, learn to recognize names and ease transitions e.g you will learn songs for waking, sleeping, eating and even pooing!
All of the above boils down to using your singing voice, doing actions, signing and making music as a way to express love and joy. Your baby will not care in the slightest if you are a great singer or not. They only care that you are singing to THEM! In their eyes and ears, you’ll be a superstar!
But Teeny Tiny Toes Music is not just for baby’s wellbeing and development. It also aims be a social group through which new parents who have been isolated due to Covid-19 can connect with one another and form new friendships.
As your baby becomes mobile, you are welcome to join the extremely popular Tiny Toes music which is for all preschool children.
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. 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.
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.
