All courses have been written by a music teacher.

Come along and join in the fun today! You’ll even get to meet our very own Rat-a-tat listening bunny who delights our children every week! Book in for a free trial session by calling us or going to our website.

Teddy Tennis music has a great beat and provides the rhythm critical for playing tennis; the words of the songs tell the kids what to do. Head Ted and the Cub Cadets, the Teddy Tennis band, have recorded 30+ songs, all available to download from iTunes.

We have a series of full colour pictures of bears at the Teddy Tennis Academy playing Teddy Tennis; these are shown to the kids so they can see what they are supposed to do for each of the 40+ different Activities and Games.

Teddy Tennis will:

• Develop every child’s athletic capabilities
• Improve their co-ordination
• Grow their confidence
• Enhance their communication skills
• Encourage them to come back for more because it’s so much FUN.

Teddy Tennis is taught as a series of lessons during term time, as ‘camps’ during the school holidays and is also delivered in a Teddy Tennis Party format.

Tatty Bumpkin classes and clothing were born out of a love of yoga and a love of fun. Loosely based on yoga postures, classes are suitable for all children, including those with special needs - Baby Bumpkin (0-2) and Tatty Bumpkin (2-7). Each class encourages your child to explore their physicality, increase their confidence and engage their minds, whilst not being competitive. The Tatty Bumpkin Bendy Doll is used to help children form each pose. The baby classes have more pastoral care and massage included.

Starting with the warm-up song "Bendy, Giggly, Clever and Strong" classes use adapted yoga poses to introduce the concept of "learning through movement" before the magical adventure begins - an amazing place where we'll meet animals, fly like helicopters, be sausage rolls and much more!

The range of clothing is suitable for children aged 0-7 years which are either ethical (fair trade), carbon neutral or simply organic or bamboo as well as class associated toys, mats, dolls.
