WHAT MAKES BABY BAND DIFFERENT?

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

Award winning, multi-sensory, baby development classes for little ones aged 0-15 months. Our sessions are packed full of back to back activities, following the EYFS standards of development. This means we focus on your baby’s physical development, personal, social and emotional development, cognitive, communication and language. We explain the research and science behind each activity, so you understand exactly why we do it and what the benefits are for you and your baby.

In our younger class, we encourage bonding, awakening your baby’s first senses, and stimulating them in a fun, yet soothing way, ending with some baby yoga and a relaxing massage to help your little one drift off into a long, peaceful sleep!

The older sessions concentrate on fine and gross motor skills, body awareness, early language acquisition, rhythm and tempo, Makaton signing, singing and dancing! Both sessions will have a new theme each week, with plenty of cute dress up props for the perfect photo opportunities. There will be bubbles, parachutes, music and instruments!

Not only do we offer weekly classes in Headingley, Chapel Allerton, Boston Spa & Collingham, we’re also available for private event hire (birthday parties, christenings, weddings etc) across the whole of North Leeds & Wetherby!

Learn how to harness the soothing, nurturing power of massage at our baby massage classes in Harrogate, Selby, Guiseley and Wetherby.

Over the five-week course, you’ll learn the best ways to massage your baby, including a range of strokes, when to massage, how long to massage for, and how to adapt your massage to meet the needs of your baby.

Group baby classes are open to parents of babies aged 6 weeks to 7 months (crawling) – and are held at Wetherby, and  Nuffield Health in Harrogate and Guiseley. For each class, you’ll need to bring your own cushion and towel. Massage oil and a baby massage guide will be provided.

**FREE Taster sessions available, please email james@rugbytots.co.uk for locations and times and to book on.

Fun, structured play sessions take children on a journey of sporting imagination with engaging and energetic coaches supporting them every step of the way whilst teaching how to catch, pass, kick, run with the ball and play as part of a team. Deliver a specifically designed programme for each age group with energy, enthusiasm and excitement.

“Be prepared to run across the jungle, wade through the quick sand or sprint through Rugbytots Valley avoiding all the smoking boulders.”

Age 2 – 3.5:  Youngest classes require full parent participation and offer a fantastic opportunity to spend quality time with your child whilst they learn new skills, meet new friends and have an exciting introduction to Rugby.

Age 3.5 – 5: These classes do not require full parent participation. Your Rugbytot will be part of a dynamic session that will develop their social and physical skills in a positive environment.

Age 5 -7: Older age group classes really start to prepare children for life after Rugbytots. The same structure is followed but these sessions involve advanced team games and ensure that the basic skills of rugby are coached in the right way by maintaining small class numbers.

Classes at Carr Manor Community High School, Primley Wood Primary School, Pudsey-Crawshaw Academy, Garforth Academy, Bramhope and Bardsey.
