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, it’s all about learning how to be musical with your little one and helping them develop a love of music in a relaxed atmosphere.
Don’t worry, you won’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. It’s much more fun when we all enjoy the music.
If your little one is feeling a bit cool for ‘Baby Band’ then why not join one of our ‘I’m with the Band’ 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.
Baby Sensory is an award-winning, sensory development programme specifically designed for babies from birth to 13 months. Each week is a different theme and full of fun, sensory experiences!

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 one’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.
We Swim at :
Monday, Tuesday : New Earswick
Wednesday, Thursday & Friday: Roko
Saturday: Robert Wilkinson, Strensall, Stamford Bridge & Pocklington
Teaching children to swim confidently with excellent stroke techniques for nearly 40 years!
Coral started the swim school in the 1980s and for many years developed it based on the principles of teaching children to enjoy swimming and gain confidence in the water.
We continue to focus on creating a fun yet challenging environment, developing water confidence and getting the strokes correct as learners progress from absolute beginners through to the Gold Award & beyond; with distance and water skills & safety certificates achieved throughout their journey!
We have Adult & Baby/Toddler/Preschool sessions, and teach children independently from 3 years old. We move individuals up when they’re ready, we don’t make them wait for the end of term or until a whole class is ready to progress.
Our teachers are trained Aquaphobia Coaches too & provide extra support if fear/anxiety is identified, present &/or affecting development.
Our lessons, with a high teacher-pupil ratio, are delivered at:
New Earswick – Monday, Tuesday & Wednesday:
3-4pm Adult & Baby/Toddler
4-6pm 3+ Children
Robert Wilkinson Primary (shallow pool), Strensall – Thursday & Friday:
4-6pm 3+ Independent & 1:1
*4pm Friday 2-4 year olds, with Adult
Our aim is to achieve consistent progress (at each child’s own speed rather than at the speed of the swim school) resulting in confident, capable, and safe swimmers.

Are you looking for a class which is fun, upbeat and action-packed? Are you keen to give your child a good foundation in early literacy skills? Would you like to join a class that you can enjoy together with your child, whilst learning about phonics at the same time, and discover lots of ideas for ways that you can support them at home?
Come along to award-winning 45-minute classes aimed at toddlers and pre-schoolers between 1-4 years, which are delivered by an experienced teacher and are based on the Early Years Curriculum.
Weekly sessions gently introduce letter sounds, whilst also focusing on developing confidence, turn-taking and listening skills. Classes help children develop an early interest in sounds without even realising, as they are too busy playing and having fun! This is the perfect class to help boost your child’s confidence, whilst compliment what they learn at preschool and prepare them for big school.
Come and groove on down to our dough-disco, shake your pom-poms and meet our mascot Robot Reg who shows children how to use his arms to orally blend and segment the sounds for reading and spelling!
MINIs sessions (1 – 2.5 year olds) are play-based sessions that help to develop speech & language skills and early vocabulary through short activities and role-playing, including nursery rhymes.
PRE-SCHOOLER sessions (2.5 – 4 year olds) include sound recognition and oral blending & segmenting, which are foundations for learning to read. This is through fast-paced, fun games and activities which encourage listening for sounds.

What Would Your Baby Like To Say?
Babies use all kinds of signs and gestures as a natural part of learning to talk; think of the delight we have when they learn to point, wave or blow a kiss! Encouraging your baby with extra signs like ‘milk’, ‘more’, ‘change nappy’ or ‘tired’ will help your baby communicate more easily. Developed with the help of Speech and Language professionals, Sing and Sign Baby Signing classes utilise music and songs, props and rhymes in fun sessions that makes learning to baby sign both easy and fun!
Our courses are designed over three developmental stages that broadly equate to:
Sing and Sign Babes – 0-5m (5 week course – £37.50)

WE LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING SERIOUS FUN WITH YOU SOON!
Our progressive play programme is designed to develop your child’s physical skills. Using bespoke colourful equipment, we focus on agility, balance, climbing and co-ordination, which enhances brain development and builds confidence.
Every session is supervised by our specially trained staff, getting the best out of each child. Up until 3 years, grown-ups participate as well so that parents, carers and even grandparents can spend time with little ones as they develop. The journey begins for babies from 6 months old who can sit up unaided. Here’s how our classes break down:
6 Months – Walking: Babies explore the equipment in a happy and relaxed environment, helping them to reach key milestones such as crawling, cruising and walking.
Walking – 2 Years: Confidently walking toddlers are now introduced to an exciting circuit of equipment as well as hand-held co-ordination activities, developing their fine motor skills. ‘Circle Time’ helps language development through rhymes and action songs.
2 – 3 Years: Working together in small groups, little ones are introduced to stations with more challenging equipment to refine their agility, balance and climbing skills.
3 Years – School Age: Children now take part independently without their grown-up, putting into practice their skills for life.

York Suzuki Early Childhood Education offers weekly music classes for children aged 0-3, with their caregiver. They are a chance to come together to celebrate the unlimited potential of every child. Our classes offer a calm, structured, nurturing space to engage with your little one through music.
The classes are run by trained SECE teacher, Laura Wingrove, who has over 10 years’ experience of teaching through the Suzuki method. Class sizes are small to allow each and every child to flourish and caregivers are supported at every stage of the journey. We use the beautiful SECE curriculum of nursery rhymes and action songs which is based on the teaching philosophy of renowned pedagogue Shinichi Suzuki. Although many musical concepts are mastered within the classes, it was not Suzuki’s primary aim to create master musicians, but rather ‘human beings with beautiful, harmonious minds and high sensitivity’. We believe that by using the highest quality musical instruments, children are given the earliest opportunity to appreciate beauty, to treat the instruments with respect, and to play them properly, creating a beautiful sound themselves.

Find out what Mumbler Rachel thought of the Song Box carehome class, when she went along with her son Zak.
“Honestly, this class was one of the best and most rewarding one I’ve been to! They all sing songs, have musical instruments and the bond between the children and the older residents is the cutest thing ever.
Some of these people may not have any family that visits so the joy that this class brings them is just the best thing. Another lady who joined us in the class had a little baby who didn’t have any grandparents, so she said it was a lovely way for him to interact with older people and it’s like he now has many grandparents, so you can see how everyone gets something out of it.
I will definitely be back and I’d urge anyone who is free to try out this Free class, it’s honestly the best and so rewarding!”
4G Song Box care home visits are FREE but families need to join the pool of interested families in advance.
