Can anyone guess what todayโs Birthday Boy chose for the theme of his 3rd Birthday Party? ๐
Our New Theme, ๐ Space Adventure ๐ฝ
Started today. Before journeying into space, we did our Astronaut Exerciseโs - moving our bodies to the music, getting our hearts pumping and following simple instructions.
Then we built Rockets to get us to the Stars - developing our fine motor skills and encouraging imaginative play as well as problem solving and creative skills.
We worked as a team to shoot the starts high into the sky with our parachute, encouraging us to work together and aiding visual development as we watch the display.
Did you know? Comets are cosmic snowballs of frozen gases, rock and dust roughly the size of a small town (Source: NASA) Can you whizz through the sky pretending to be a Comet?
We whizzed our ribbons through the sky as we coordinated our ribbons and made different patterns.
We do the research; so you can enjoy the fun.

๐๐ผ Say Hello to Autumn ๐๐
Autumn is such a wonderful time at Toddler Sense Huddersfield.

๐ Another weekend and another party!
Taking a little break before we start the directed activities, Iโm so looking forward to the cheesy 90s playlist we have planned ๐๐ผ

๐ Autumn, when Primary School Children across the land can be heard belting out this absolute banger in assemblyโs up and down the land (or maybe just Yorkshire, Iโm not actually sure! Itโs was one of my absolute favs though!) COME ON EVERYONE, sing it with meโฆ ๐ค
โAutumn days, when the grass is jewelled And the silk inside a chestnut shell
Jet planes meeting in the air to be refuelled
All these things I love so well
So I mustnโt forget, No, I mustnโt forget,
To say a great big thank you,
I mustnโt forget.
Clouds that look like familiar faces And a winterโs moon with frosted rings.
Smell of bacon as I fasten up my laces And the song the milkman singsโ โฆ
We have lots of new faces in our New Explorers classes this term, they have all settled in so well! Shoutout to this mornings class who made the most of free play, helped a couple of our regulars celebrate their 2nd birthdays, danced, popped bubbles whilst listening to instructions perfectly! ๐
๐ณ๏ธโ๐ Celebrations ๐ฌ๐ง
Our new theme starts this morning and the aim is to inspire a sense of Celebration and Joy in you and your little one; with lots of colour and an upbeat playlist of music.
Iโve created some lovely spaces in free play for some Sensory Exploration as well as the usual free play items and we have THE CROC CASTLE OUT! for all their bouncing and sliding needs ๐
๐คธ๐ผโโ๏ธDirected activities will get us moving, developing our Gross Motor Skills and helping us with body recognition and understanding of ourselves.
๐ซณ ๐ We will develop hand eye coordination, fine motor skills and visual development with balls, bubbles and Pom Poms!
Waving our flags will bring us together as a group and create a sense of fun and togetherness.
๐ We do the research; so you can enjoy the fun! ๐
September can be a big change for children. Moving to pre-schools, nurseries, reception, schools, year groupsโฆ
Iโve had a few conversations about this in class with parents and have definitely felt it myself! Our little boy has moved classes in school with a new group and moved up in his Jiu Jitsu sessions and Iโm sure heโs had a little wobble over it. It can be frustrating when he gets worked up with me as soon as I pick him up, but, I have to remember that this is a big reason why!
๐ Good Morning ๐
A big ๐ SHOUT OUT ๐ to todays Adventurers. There was great energy in class. Brilliant listening to instructions and joining in. Fab team work and looking out for each other whilst we explored the tunnels ๐๐ป
I have to admit to feeling quite emotional witnessing todays proceedings. In ore of how Charlotte and George dealt with it all and I also think the military presence were amazing! ๐๐ค
I love this photo, I think it taps into the people behind the scenes and the fact that they are people too!
๐๐ค
A reminder that there are no classes running tomorrow. Messages have been sent to those who were not in class on Monday but please feel free to tag anyone you come to class with as a reminder. The last session will now be on Monday 24th October.

Todays ๐ Birthday Boy ๐ celebrating his 2nd Birthday ๐
Party Dates* are now very limited for 2022!
*Dates are not guaranteed until a deposit has been received.
1 Party = Done!
A lovely time spent celebrating for a little boy this morning, lots of sleepy faces leaving the party!
I hope you all had a great time ๐
My photo game has not been great since our return! As always, Iโd love to see any youโve managed to capture in class. I think weโre all just too busy having fun ๐๐
Little date afternoon with The Boy after school. He spent his birthday money at .holmfirth We ticked some more Snow Dogs off our trail map and went to for tea ๐
๐ค Tunnels and Trains ๐
๐ As the Runaway train speeds down the track, the children will develop their musical skills and find their rhythm - playing instruments stimulates brain cells, improves memory and promotes self expression and creativity.
๐ We will work together as a team, encouraging socialisation and cooperation, whilst also developing our fine motor skills to โmove the train along the trackโ - fine motor skills are important for skills such as fastening coats, tying shoe laces and holding a pen in later life.
๐ All Aboard (one for the grown ups too ๐) we will create a colourful / bubbly party atmosphere as we ride The Night Train! Helping to lift everyoneโs spirits and encourage the production of โhappy hormonesโ
๐ The children will work their gross motor skills and develop special awareness as they tunnel through the obstacles.
We do the research; so you can enjoy the fun!
Itโs a good job there isnโt a limit on how many bubble packs you can buy ๐
I have lots of parties coming up in the next few weeks, so Iโm getting ready for filling all the pass the parcels!
Itโs a cliche, again, I know! But our little boy is 7 today and I can still remember our few days in hospital, when he was born, as though itโs just happening. I now understand why, 40 years on! ๐คฃ, my Mum still talks about the day I was born every time my birthday is coming up ๐
Thank you all for your understanding with regards to pausing next Mondays sessions in light of Her Majesty the Queens State Funeral.
For all Monday sessions, your last class will now be on Monday October 24th at your usual times.
Messages are being sent out, but please do tag anyone who you know comes to Mondays session that was not here today. Thank you.

WEโRE BACK! today marks the start of our ๐ Autumn Term ๐
๐ We return with Colour Party - a session planned to get us all moving and bring us together as a group ๐
๐ Weโll be bouncing: engaging our core, promoting balance and coordination skills, being active in a fun way.
๐ We will use tension cloths and parachutes to creat a visual display and encourage us to work as a team as well as being physical.
๐ Iโve sneaked a traditional party song in there that will introduce children to Left and Right and get them laughing and moving too!
๐ The session will end with an all time favourite that also encourages children to get active, stimulate visual development and encourage hand / eye coordination.
I CANNOT WAIT!
We do the research; so you can enjoy the fun!

I spent a lot of yesterday remaking and adding accessories to our play-band.

๐ฃToddler Sense Huddersfield is a unique blend of Free Play and Directed Activities over an hours session each week. ๐ก Free play varies every week, so there will always be something new for your little one to discover. ๐ข I guide the directed activities for you to enjoy together and aid their development further. ๐ต Take a look at our website for more information and booking details. Themes for the Autumn Term include: ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ Colour Party. ๐ช Space Adventure. โ ๏ธ Pirates and Princesses ๐ Fun with Tod #booknow #limitedspaces #preschoolactivities #preschooldevelopment #sensorydevelopment #socialdevelopment #physicaldevelopment #freeplay #directedactivities #routine #westyorkshire #kirklees #Huddersfield
Balance and coordination are extremely important gross motor skills - itโs important to encourage children to develop these in a controlled and focused way as this decreases the chance of stumbles and falls, allowing them to master control over their bodies and helping them to stay active and healthy. One of the ways we encourage this at Toddler Sense Huddersfield is by including the Rodyโs in both free play and directed activities. We do the research; so you can enjoy the fun! #TheoryThursday
Quick reminder. Weโre still across the pond enjoying time with family. Had this lovely moment yesterday watching Turtles and Swans on the lake. Our 6 year old was so happy! Itโs 07:13am here now and weโre getting ready for our first trip into the city! ๐๐บ๐ธ

Iโm thinking of doing an alternative Glasto at work next time ๐คฃ At least it would be guaranteed not to rain! #alwayssunny #childrensactivities #campingweek #festivalvibes
In next weeks session, we shall be โmaking carrot stewโ and enjoying it together in our picnic before taking part in camping games, nature trials and star gazing! ๐ฅ Role-Play develops language and communication skills and supports children in making sense of real world situations and the needs of others. Role-play allows children to safely explore, investigate and experiment. ๐ซ Early socialisation supports children in learning empathy, developing language and communication skills, gaining confidence and sharing/working together. ๐ The children will have a chance to observe and explore their environment - encouraging inquisitiveness, curiosity and an understanding of their surroundings. ๐ซ The end of the session will enable the children to slow down a bit and take a mindful moment with their grown ups. We do the research; so you can enjoy the fun! #TheoryThurssay
๐ซ Mid Week Mood! ๐ซ ๐๐ผ What a fab week of Summer Salsa so far! ๐บ๐ผ โ๏ธDonโt forget, there are still offers running to join us on Fridays at 11:15! - message for more details and to book your place.

๐ All Aboard for Train Week: ๐ We shall be making music and finding our rhythm whilst we โExpressโ (๐ see what I did there? ๐) ourselves on the Runaway Train - introducing musical instruments at a young age can be significant in developing communication, language and listening skills as well as an early appreciation for various types of music ๐ We are going to work together as a team to keep the trains moving along the circle - focusing on team work, hand eye coordination and fine motor skills - all important for developing everyday skills such as writing, doing up buttons and zips and taking part in sports activities ๐ Enjoy the lights and music of the Night Train! Providing visual and sensory stimulation whilst the bubbles puff out of the trains chimney - Sensory play includes any activity that stimulates your young childโs senses: touch, smell, taste, movement, balance, sight and hearing; important for understanding the world around them, builds connections in the brain, develops fine motor, gross motor and problem solving skills ๐ Finally, those gross motor skills will also be developed whilst you crawl through the tunnels like a train!

โฆ and so ends a week of magic! ๐ช As always, Iโd love to see the moments youโve captured in class! Have a great weekend ๐ #photofriday
Yeay! Parties are back on the table and Iโm excited to have a few bookings filing up the 2022 diary! All set for a very special 2 year old today with a sparkles party including some of her favourite activities, songs and dances! Toddler Sense Huddersfield - Lifeโs an Adventure ๐
Wow! Next Term, Spring, is once again proving popular and there are now less than 20 spaces left across all 10 classes! The term is 6 weeks beginning week February 28th for 6 weeks and will include: ๐ Space Adventure ๐ช Magic Show ๐ Toddler Party Amongst other Adventures ๐
Itโs Valentines Day! So weโll be sharing the love in this weeks sessions with music making, crafts, dancing and flying hearts! Activities are planned to help you and your preschooler bond and interact, encouraging that all important hormone โOxytocinโ - often named the Love Hormone or Hormone of Attachment because it helps us to feel happy, secure and bonded. Releasing Oxytocin helps with stress relief, anxiety, reduction in blood pressure and insecurities. This is why skin to skin contact is widely encouraged between babies and parents and it helps to raise levels in both child and parent! Free play has been set up to encourage sensory development and areas to explore lights, colours, texture and of course the bouncy castle and soft play equipment to help your child stay active and burn off some access energy. See you all soon - #HappyValentines ๐
Hi, I am Amy and I am the owner and class leader for Toddler Sense Huddersfield. I have one boy, due to start school in September, who keeps me on my toes, keeps me smiling and often helps me to test out set ups and props for class!
My previous work experience has largely been office based, working in administrative and customer service roles before gaining a degree in Primary Education and teaching in schools around Kirklees.
I entered the Toddler Sense world after being part of classes with my little boy. We started our journey with Baby Sensory Huddersfield before moving onto the Toddler Sense programme. He now enjoys taking part in Mini Professors Science classes, which is also part of the Wow World Group of companies, as well as visiting Toddler Sense with Daddy.
I was lucky enough to take some time off after my little boy was born and was just at the stage where I was considering what my next career step would be when Toddler Sense Huddersfield became available, after taking part in the programme as a parent, I knew that it was everything I wanted from working with children!
The classes are fun, stimulating and exciting for children, whilst also aiding a large range of developmental areas. They learn through play and exploring the environment around them whilst also being introduced to weekly routines, such as โtidy up timeโ and singing โHow do you doโ as well as being responsible for collecting and tidying away their own equipment from activities. I feel honoured to be part of their lives each week and, as well as seeing their progression and development each session, I am most happy when I see the bonds of friendship that develop, between both children and adults, through taking part in a weekly class together.
I look forward to welcoming you and your little one into our exciting world soon!
