Who we are

Hello, I'm Paula Ridley and along with Diane, Anne and Amanda I run classes in the West Yorkshire and Harrogate area. Classes run five days a week with additional 'family' classes being opened this year. We also run classes in several local nurseries.

Jo is the heart and soul of our classes. He is extremely friendly and actively participates in all of our classes. At the start of each session he welcomes all children with a smile, a wave and a cuddle. Then he might sing or dance or pretend to be a train driver, a monkey or even a teapot.

Sometimes he hides and we have to look for him. Sometimes he falls asleep and he needs some help to wake up. Sometimes he is shy and we have to encourage him to join in with the fun. But he always makes time for plenty of hugs and kisses when it’s time for the children to say goodbye.
