Extra Classes

Ballet

Vanessa Golborn from the Vanessa Golborn School of Dance comes into teach ballet every Tuesday afternoon to any children who have signed up to her class. Vanessa has a fantastic reputation in various styles of dance from classical ballet (Royal Academy of Dance), Street Jazz, Tap and Modern. The children absolutely love her classes and often sign up to her School of Dance outside of nursery times.

French

Sarah Human comes in to teach French every Monday morning to any children who have signed up to her class. Her classes are fun yet educational.

Swimming

Any children who are aged three years and above, are offered the opportunity to go and learn to swim at Energique Fitness Club at the top of Anstey Park (only a stone’s throw away from the nursery). The swimming class is for 30 minutes each Friday (for 12 weeks each term) and is taught by two swimming instructors at Energique Fitness Club. Nursery staff accompany the children to and from the venue and assist the children in getting changed into and out of their swimming attire.

Many parents feel that the classes are a great idea, especially as finding the time to teach their own children is often very tough.

Tatty Bumpkin Yoga

Every Tuesday Morning our instructor Helen comes to the nursery to teach Yoga in partnership with Tatty Bumpkin. Children included in these classes aged between 2-4 years will be helped to be bendy, giggly, clever and strong: Bendy: develops flexibility through yoga. Giggly: enhances creativity with fun multi-sensory stories and original music. Clever: aids development with smart-links to support the early years curriculum. Strong:promotes wellbeing and relaxation. The children use their imagination’s alongside exercise and often visit places like the seaside, exploring creatures on the beach together.

If you have any further questions on any of the extra classes that we currently offer, please do not hesitate to speak with the manager.
