Live music and joining in and balloons are at the centre of this activity and it is great for toddlers and their siblings, family and friends. You will sing, move, learn action rhymes, play percussion, enjoy props, counting, language formation and sounds. We encourage social fun, co-ordination, self-expression and help to build confidence.
Original music is featured plus well known tunes and rhymes. Jungle Monkeyz is an accessible venue with Soft Play in another part of the building (pre-bookings are a must and can be made separately online).
