At ARTventurers, we LOVE getting children involved in art at an early age – which is why our classes are specially designed for the little artists aged 6 months plus. Art has SO many benefits – from squishing and squidging in paint to explore colours and textures, learning about the world around us, developing fine and gross motor skills, making friends and building confidence.

 

The aim of all of the ARTventurers sessions is to nurture and develop a child’s creativity by providing them with the opportunities, guidance, inspiration and materials to explore, experiment and express themselves through a range of colourful art and creative activities. PLUS all of our activities and sessions for preschool age children are carefully planned to support the Early Learning goals and in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage.

 

All children are individual and the free flow element of our ARTventurers classes recognises this – all of the children can explore and create at their own pace and in their own time. A jam packed session of colourful, creative (and often messy) fun!!

 

I’d love for you and your little one to join us!

Danielle xx

 

 

 

Keepsake sessions for tiny babies (4 weeks to 6 months) and one-off classes, including holiday and weekend sessions also available (6 months to 10 years).

Will they find balance on our tightrope, swing in our hammocks, and eat s’mores on a fire they helped build and light? 

 

We also offer a range of creative crafts, discovery sessions and lots of fun.

Will they get messy creating mud sculptures, and learning about the natural environment hunting for bugs?

Our tiny baby classes are aimed at 3 months – 9 months. These sessions give mums one-on-one time with their babies in a warm cosy environment with time to chat and share stories.  We appreciate every little one is different so it doesn’t matter if they need changing, feeding or cuddling – everyone is made welcome.  We can also adapt our payment schedule to suit those looming return to work days so you can continue to enjoy the fun up until the very last minute.

9 months – 2 years is the age range we see our little ones develop from sitting to crawling to walking, babbling away in their own language.

 

In these sessions we aim to build the confidence of each individual, develop motor skills and coordination and hopefully build on their love of music and dancing – we use a variety of different resources, instruments and visual aids to keep their attention (and give the grown ups a bit of a work out too).

As our little ones approach the age of exploring pre-school or even full time school, we help encourage their independence in physical activities, concentration at story time and many basic music skills exploring tempo, dynamics, pitch etc.

 

We hope to help little ones find and develop a love of music, singing and enthusiasm to learn which can be taken on to the next stage of their lives.

Puddle Ducks 
 The Perfect IntroDUCKtion to Swimming

 

Puddle Ducks Wakefield runs classes in pools across Wakefield, Barnsley, Sheffield, Bradford & South Leeds, and we have just celebrated our 15th year in business!

Our Baby & Pre-School programme (0-4 years) provides a wonderful bonding experience and our progressive lesson plans instil a water confidence and love of swimming. Our highly trained and qualified teachers are experts at identifying children’s levels of ability and adapting activities to the individual, nurturing confidence and encouraging natural ability, all whilst having lots of fun.

 

Our Baby & Pre-school programme is offered through six levels:

Floaties (0-9 months),
Splashers (6-15 months),
Kickers (15 months to 2.5 years),
Little Dippers (2-5 years) and
Dippers and Dabblers (2-5 years ability related classes)

 

For older children, whether they have come from a pre-school class or never been in the water before, Swim Academy (4-10 years) will take your child from ‘getting their faces wet’ to being an independent swimmer and who knows, maybe a future Olympic champion.

 

Teaching independent swimming from birth. That’s the Puddle Ducks difference.

 

Classes run on every day of the week in local pools, find your nearest pool here

Swimbabes

The journey to becoming a strong swimmer takes time and patience. Each child will achieve their goals in their own time, and they shouldn’t be rushed or forced into to activities they’re not ready for. The Swimbabes course is designed to let each child develop at a pace they’re comfortable, whilst always challenging them. The key to development at this early stage is repetition of success, reinforcing verbal instructions and ensuring longer term awareness of water safety and confidence.
