What is Jolly Babies?

Jolly Babies offers a first musical experience for babies aged 12 weeks to just over 1 year.   Classes are limited to a maximum of 8 babies in a session which last for 30 minutes. 

Sessions are carefully structured for young babies to start quietly, building to a stimulating middle section and then slowing to a calm ending.  Only one new song is introduced each week to encourage repetition, continuity and security. 

The classes encourage early social skills, bonding between baby and parent and early speech development as well as fun and making friends for baby and carer.
 

The Songs

The songs are a mixture of nursery rhymes, traditional songs and original songs especially composed for
Jolly Babies.  Only one new song is introduced each week to encourage repetition, continuity and security.
