Babies – 15 months
Mini Mice is our baby music, sensory and signing class and you’re never too young to join.
Fun music, sensory and signing classes for your littlest ones
Besides the range of varied instruments and awesome music, there’s lots of sensory, tickling, raspberries, clapping, cuddles, movement and key-word signing, as well as more calming bubbles and fairy lights. We enjoy props big and small in just the right balance – the list is fairly extensive, but think swathes of fabrics to wobble, parachutes, lights, scene setting, sensory balls, things that scrunch, squish, flash, all the textures, the list goes on… There is plenty of variety from week to week because we want to make sure your little one gets a wide range of musical play. This is balanced with the loose structure and familiarity that young ones benefit from. We always sing the same opening and closing songs, so they know what to expect, with varying silly songs and nursery rhymes in the middle.
In Mini Mice, we focus on songs, sensory and movement suited to this younger audience. We include play and actions carefully considered to develop motor skills, coordination and imagination. We creatively bring these skills into play through a huge array of instruments, toys, props and fabrics. Additionally, this varied supply provides a brilliant range of sensory fun and exploration, which is developmentally beneficial to little ones. We’ve got all the sights, textures and sounds from sparkles, bubbles, lights, touchy things, scrunchy things and munchy friendly things. The class lasts for approx. 40 minutes and is designed to suit their limits of stimulation. We have a short breakout instrumental section to give babies get a chance to chill and play freely and grown ups a chance to chat because new friends are great.
We have activities and key-word signing to aid communication skills because we all want to know what they’re thinking! Plus singing is also known to aid language development. So be prepared to join in with the signs and actions, as well as dance around together!
Our classes allow precious bonding time with your little one(s). We have activities aimed for you to partake with your little one, make memories and have fun together. And of course, (and very importantly): socialising for both you and your little one. We love how friendly and inclusive our classes are and to watch friendships grow amongst the grown ups as well as the little ones.
The grown ups enjoy the Mini Mice music too – we don’t think children need to have bad taste in music. We’ve made music the whole family can enjoy across a range of genres to introduce little ones to its variety. Who knows, your little one might surprise you with a love of rock, or funk, or country music!

There are plenty of elements for everyone in this class, but get in touch to ask more if you’ve any questions.
Please note: parents remain in a supervisory role of their little one throughout the session.
The musical creativity puts a twist on the children’s songs you know and love. Ellie and Max (the mouse) are a breath of fresh air every week and I actively looked forward to being able to start going again with my second baby girl who loves it just as much as my first did!
