Ages: 0 to 36 months

The Caterpillar class is a fun class with mixed age groups for young babies and toddlers to enjoy together.

Babies love music

Babies are never too young to enjoy Caterpillar Music and they enjoy watching other babies and older children- it encourages them to crawl, stand up and eventually start taking a few steps in order to follow the fun with the older children

Babies love music and are captivated by the puppets and fun activities at every session - they soon recognise favourite songs, rhymes and music.

Ages: 18 months to 4 years - Classes for Toddlers

Which part of the class do our toddlers most enjoy? It's hard to choose, but the action songs are certainly a favourite. With jumping songs and animal sounds, parents comment on how the children love to sing and do all the actions at home too.

Toddlers enjoy our weekly themes

Children enjoy searching for something "red" to wear or looking through their books for a picture of a sea animal, or bringing in a favourite teddy bear to show everyone. During the class, by watching and following each other, social skills and confidence grow every week. Toddlers at the Butterfly class join in with lots of actions and music and movement.

The classes are very relaxed and children can choose to join in as much as they want to learning and developing at their own pace- some may enjoy watching others before they are ready to join in.

Every class is different, according to the ages of children there – please ask your local class leader for advice when choosing a class for your child if you are unsure whether to choose Butterflies or Caterpillars.
