Water confidence builds life confidence.
Our leading swim programme has been developed to build water confidence and skills throughout your little one’s first five years. We work closely with Swim England, the national governing body for swimming, and we’ve woven their learn to swim framework through our programme. You’ll love nothing more than seeing their progression as your little one moves from fun floating, kicking and splashing to swimming independently.
And not only will your little one develop key aquatic skills, but we’ll also give them the knowledge to keep themselves safe. By the end of their journey, your child will be able to independently swim to the side and climb out to safety, wherever they are.
You can be safe in the knowledge that you’re learning from the best. Our teachers are the only ones who can hold Swim England’s Level 3 qualification, the highest that can be achieved. And they’re the most passionate around, there to guide you at every stroke of your little one’s journey. Because the more confident they are in the water, the more confident they’ll be out of it too.
So what are you waiting for? When they’re ready, we’re ready.
If you have any questions, want to know more or to get your little one signed up, just get in touch.

Miniplay2learn is a preschool class aimed at children ages 3-4 who love learning about worldly topics such as animals, space, seasons, dinosaurs and so many more! Exploring through sensory play and learning important skills such as phonics and number is a key part of the preschool class I offer.
Each lesson has been carefully planned to ensure children have lots of free play as well as guided learning led by myself. As an experienced primary school teacher, I expose your children to learning experiences alongside playing so that they naturally become eager learners.
Seeing the benefits of learning through play with activities I did at home with my boys, I’m eager to support others and equip children with the Early Years skills, in a pace that works for them. Each week there will be ‘mini’ activities such as sensory play, learning invitations, arts and crafts and other learning resources for children to use.
Classes run at Kids Planet Day Nursery, Horsforth, Wood Lane, LS18 4HH
Mondays 17th April-22nd May 10am-11am

Don’t just take my word for it……
Winnie’s mum –
My 2 year old was really shy when she started Tots Pretend.. Even after the first session, she asked when she could go back – she absolutely LOVES it. Helen is absolutely amazing making it interactive, fun and gets every child involved. Winnie talks about Helen during the week and even plays Tots Pretend at home!
If you want your child to feel more confident, happy and content then this is the session. I honestly couldn’t rate Helen’s Tots Pretend high enough!

Baby signing is a fantastic skill to learn with your little one, enabling you to communicate with each other from an early age and encourage their social development.
Our great fun, music based classes support your family, as you discover the benefits for yourself!
Sing and Sign Babes is a gentle 5 week music and sensory course with an emphasis on communication. Suitable from birth to 6 months. This lovely class explores eye contact, gesture, and anticipation, together with lots of cuddles, tickles and some simple signs. All building the framework for communication, brought to you using our magic ingredient – music!
The Stage 1 course introduces 6-14 month olds, and their families, to the wonders of baby signing. Over 100 signs are covered in the 10 week course, relating to daily routines (like meal times, getting changed, bedtime etc), animals, vehicles and lots more.
The Stage 2 course gives 14-30 month olds, and their families, the opportunity to enjoy more complex topics, with more physical exertion! More animals to encounter, colours to explore, and lots of weather conditions to experience over the 10 weeks! As children develop speech, having the support of a physical gesture alongside emerging words, makes it much less frustrating for everyone!

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

**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.
