Yo Baby Preschool Music and Movement Classes
About us
Yo Baby started up in February 2005 and has been running weekly classes since at various venues. Classes are currently held at a beautiful yurt in the Fernhurst countryside.
My weekly classes are for parents/carers to attend with their children. The classes introduce children to music, percussion instruments and beautiful songs from around the world. They are encouraged to move throughout the session and develop social, memory, listening and speech skills through fun games.
Not only will the children improve the set of skills above but songs are included to help develop their singing voice. Throughout the class the children will use their whole body feeling the pulse (heart beat) of the songs or chants by clapping, stamping, moving, playing percussion instruments - this will enable them to feel the music and a sense of time. This skill is vital to be a good musician and singer.
I also run weekly classes at a private nursery in Surbiton called Childs Play for 2 - 5 year olds.
Other areas of work Yo Baby's been involved in: Local Library Singing Sessions, Sure Start Centre's, Baby Clinics, Pupil Referral Units, Young Mum Groups, Kingston's Maple Unit for children with disabilities, Schools, St Georges CAMHS Unit and various fund raising events for charities.
Yo Baby is member of Music Leader, Sound Connections, Musicians Union, British Kodaly Academy.

Kat F. asked:Does anyone have any advice on pre school childcare around Lickfold/Fernhurst/Liphook? We will have two kids at Brookham so I"m looking for somewhere nice for my 2 year old in that area. I have found a few full-time daycares in Haslemere (are they good?) and a morning/afternoon at Fernhurst primary. Would ideally like two or three full days a week for her. Any info much appreciated! Would also love tips for playgroups/classes/swimming etc for little ones in the area as we are new here. Thanks a lot, KatShirley S. replied:My Yo Baby classes also start back up in September on Wednesday mornings at a gorgeous yurt on a farm in Fernhurst, email me for more details shirley@yobaby.co.uk Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/YoBabyMusic Website www.yobaby.co.uk
