Sessions

sessions

During term-time, we offer a series of sessions including baby massage and expressive arts classes. In these fun, engaging classes, we combine learning together and free play. As well as weekly classes, we offer open studio sessions and seasonal events. 

All our provision is underpinned by the three characteristics of effective teaching and learning identified by the EYFS. These are:

  • playing and exploring
  • active learning
  • creating and thinking critically

The focus of the characteristics of effective learning is on how children learn rather than what they learn i.e. process over outcome. At Express Yourself Studio, we invite children to express themselves through experimentation and manipulation of different media and materials, music making, movement and imaginative play.

open play

Come and let your children’s imaginations run wild as you explore, socialise and play together in our fabulous studio space bursting with bright, open-ended resources and equipment inviting them to create and truly express themselves. 

Duration: 1 hour and 30 minutes

Baby massage

Our baby massage course provides a lovely opportunity for you to relax, soothe and connect with your baby through nurturing touch and massage. In our calm, safe environment, you can bond with your baby as you learn to use a sequence of rhythmic strokes and soothing holds which have been developed and refined over many years.

All our classes are lead by a certified International Association of Infant Massage instructor.

Duration: 1 hour (with an optional half-hour play time in the studio at the end)

Express Sensory and SINGING

An engaging session for babies pre-crawling where we will sing our favourite children’s songs and nursery rhymes, explore the world using all the senses and enjoy musical instruments. Free hot drink for parent/carer included.

Duration: 1 hour and 15 minutes (weekly sessions)
