Rhythm Time Huddersfield and Halifax

Rythmn Time is a weekly visit for myself and my 19th month old Grandson. He loves it and knows exactly what I mean when I say it's time to go see Ana. He loves the structure of the session, the repetition of Arabella searching, Ratatat, the microphone, the instruments, the tune to tidy up, the bubbles and so many more things I could mention. As an ex teacher I feel it is so well thought out and put together and engages the toddlers 100%. I would recommend it to anyone, especially with the recent bonus of being able to attend as many sessions as you like in a week so long as there is a space. This means my daughter can also take him on her day off to the Shepley session and so has done on a couple of occasions. A great, musical activity.

Myself and my daughter have been going to ‘Rhythm Time’ music classes since November 2021 and she absolutely loves them. It has helped my daughter develop many skills including a love for music, rhythm, eye tracking and hand and eye co-ordination.The sessions run weekly by a fantastic team of ladies who go above and beyond. Ana, Julie and Karen are wonderful with my daughter and they have built such an amazing relationship with us both. As the sessions caters for a small group it allows a very personalised feel with many songs including your child’s name and staff getting to know you both.The classes start with a welcome song to get the babies warmed up and ready for the session. The sessions are made multi-sensory with songs and familiar rhymes, each class is different, but always incorporating opportunities for the babies to play a selection of different instruments. Each session ends with some calm time for you and you baby which may be bubbles or other sensory exploration.Sophie Clarke

I have been attending classes at Rhythm time since my little boy was just 6 months old. He is now 2 and gets excited every daturday morning.He sings the songs all the time and loves the dances.I've made some friends with other caregivers there and he has friends of his age that he is now familiar with and used to being around.He had learnt to share, communicate and even have the courage to stand infront of a group and sing a rhythm pattern alone.It is a brilliant confidence builder.Your babies will certainly benefit from the time spent with you and music weekly. The chance to hold instruments and gradually gain the skills to play them correctly via watching others and being exposed to them often.It's a great way to break up your week and add a little routine.I hope if you've been thinking about it, you give it a try! It's brilliant.

I attended the most recent term of Rhythm time with my two year old daughter who has struggled massively socialising, after the first session her confidence has soared and by the end of term she was skipping into her classes with Anna, there is loads to take part in but the no pressure approach along with it always being inclusive has given my daughter the confidence she needs to now be in any social setting confidently so I would like to say a huge thank you to Anna for that, her classes are really incredible

I would just like to say that we absolutely love Rhythm Time with Ana. We have been coming to classes since Orla was 3 months old (she is now nearly 5) & now her sister (nearly 2) every week is different, so interactive & fun. Ana is so welcoming, friendly & amazing with the children. Both girls have learnt so many skills & it’s a class I’m so grateful to have been part of. Thanks for everything xx

Fin has been going to classes with Ana since he was 6 weeks old. He loved every one and to see him progress each week has been amazing.He’s now 7 months and so can sit and play his own instruments.Even when it’s time to go back to work we will make sure we can still attend a Rhythm Time class each week.
