I run three different classes depending on your child’s age. Jolly Babies is from newborn up to roughly 15 months. Music with Mummy classes are from 15 months to approximately 3 years and Three Four Time classes which are for 3 and 4 year olds.
Jolly Babies is all about having a little fun. The songs we sing are usually original but there are also some well known ones in there too. All the songs are short and very sweet making them easy to learn. Babies love repetition so each song is sung usually at least twice.
In each class, there is singing in the main, a short percussion section where the babies get to have a play with some basic instruments such as egg shakers, bells, hand drums etc. Finally, at the end of the class, there is a very short listening section where we turn the lights off and have a cuddle with their special grown up. I usually do bubbles during this part too which they love.
Music with Mummy classes are very similar but we introduce a theme each half term as well as a basic musical concept, for example, loud and quiet, short and long etc. For this class the children need to be confident on their feet as it is a little more involved than Jolly Babies. Both classes are 30 minutes long and there is a maximum of 12 children per class.
Three Four Time classes are run slightly differently as they are 45 minutes rather than half an hour and are unaccompanied. Parents must remain onsite but the children attend the class without their special grown ups. This is a gentle introduction to learning on their own and pairs beautifully with attending pre-school and the transition to school itself. These classes are also themed for each half term and are wonderfully involved with movement, singing, percussion and some additional extra’s. This class is so much fun and I adore sharing the children’s mindset when imagining and exploring what we can do with each song.

We absolutely love our classes with Sophie! She is so amazing with the little ones and the classes are so fun and engaging! We look forward to Music with Mummy each week and would definitely recommend it!
My 8 month old son absolutely loves music sessions with Sophie. He smiles and claps when she appears on the screen for our zoom sessions. He was beside himself with joy when we were able to be in venue for live sessions. The songs are simple but very interactive and we sing them during the rest of the week.
Savannah and I have really loved Jolly Babies. Savannah gets so much out of class. Sophie has been so welcoming and has made the best out of the current situation by making the online classes so interactive.
Our daughter joined Sophie’s Jolly Babies class aged 5 months, and is now thriving in the Music with Mummy group. The Jolly Babies classes were as much fun and beneficial for me as a new mum, as they were for my child. It was a great regular activity for us to take part in together, and we still sing songs at home that we learnt in class. Moving up to the Music with Mummy group has been fantastic. The progression from calm sensory baby classes, to watching my child actively participating with Sophie, and learning lyrics and actions; the enjoyment is clear on her face every week. Sophie is completely engaging with all the children and babies in her classes, and her love and passion for music is shared with them every single week
Our family absolutely love this baby class. Sophie is so warm, positive , welcoming and friendly. Our children love the fun and interactive sessions. We love the songs and activities. Can’t recommend it enough, one of the best!
I started taking my 2 girls to Jolly Babies when they were 11 months old and they absolutely loved it. So much so that we have carried on going and moved to the Music with Mummy classes as they have got older. Sophie is great at getting the children engaged and creates a fun and friendly atmosphere for all the adults too. Its been lovely to see my girls starting to copy the moves and to recognise the songs when they start. They enjoy every minute of it. I would definitely recommend Sophie and Music with Mummy to everyone!
