Music with Mummy | Helen Cox

Hi! Welcome to Music with Mummy North Yorkshire & Darlington 👋

I’m Helen – an experienced early years group leader, and busy Mum to two primary aged school children. I started running Jolly Babies, Music with Mummy & Three-Four Time Classes back in 2013, after having taken both my own children from just 10 weeks old and seeing how much they enjoyed it. I love meeting meeting other local families and bringing them together in a friendly, fun environment.

My classes are a great way to bond with your little one whilst encouraging their love for music, helping with speech development and enhancing their sense of rhythm. We have lots of fun with instruments, bubbles, singing and dancing, but it’s also half an hour out of the house where you can have some quality time with your baby/toddler. I know how daunting it can be going along to a new group so I make every effort to ensure you feel welcome and to put you and your little one at ease.

About My Classes

I run sessions four days a week across our area and recorded sessions in private groups online. My classes give parents, carers and grandparents the chance to spend some quality musical time with their child in a safe and friendly setting. Our 3 progressive programmes, cover so much learning and meet the early years music goals, as defined by The British Association for Early Childhood Education.

All children are treated as individuals in class and are gently encouraged to participate at their own level. Your little one’s confidence, creativity and co-ordination will floursh! You will learn so many new songs and activities as your child advances & progresses through the different age groups.

Watch them learn as they:

• Explore different percussion sounds & enhance co-ordination • Build their confidence and self-expression through dance

• Develop listening skills and a musical ear

• Practise rhymes to develop speech

• Learn to listen and concentrate

• Find their singing voice and learn to sing in tune

Covid Safe ✅

In these challenging times, every aspect of our face to face sessions has been thoroughly risk assessed and procedures have been put in place to ensure we can all continue to safely enjoy our special music time. All the children have been provided with their own prop bags to keep, full of exciting props and high quality percussion instruments, so you can also practise at home!

Testimonials

Fantastic sessions! I’m genuinely gutted that my little one is now moving on and we can no longer attend. We’ve absolutely loved our time coming to these classes since she’s been 3months old. Lovely friendly groups, run by Helen who is so engaging and great with the kids. Would highly recommend! The children learn so much and develop from these classes. We love all the songs and I shall miss ‘shaking those bells’. Will definitely be back if another baby comes along...actually would having another baby be a good enough excuse to come back? Haha.

I got given a term as a gift and will most definitely be continuing with the classes. My daughter adores Helen and her soothing tones. It’s a great place for your baby to explore their senses to the backdrop of traditional and newer nursery rhymes whilst having a cuddle and a bounce from parent. We love it!

I started taking Charlotte at 4 months old to Jolly Babies and next week will be our last week before I go back to work - it’s been a fab 5 months going every week. Charlotte has absolutely loved it - the music and the different levels of interaction. She instantly recognises the songs when we sing outside of class & it has helped bring on her development.

Helen is so friendly, approachable & accommodating. The class is pitched at the right level for the age group. We have done other music classes but I always compare them to jolly babies & they are never as good. If you can get onto a class where Helen has availability then I highly recommend going!
