📢 CURRENT CUSTOMERS! 📢

As the time of year for bugs, colds and infections is upon us, I have emailed out a reminder to your all about our policy on sickness. Please do read it carefully and save it so that you can refer back if needed.

As ever, if you do have to miss a class for whatever reason, you are very welcome to attend an alternative venue for a catch-up session - just please make sure you contact me first to check that there is space available for you!

Thanks for your support,

Sarah xx

🎉 Isn't it great how we grown ups can be really pleased that our little ones are learning loads of amazing skills at our music classes, whilst they have no idea they are working so hard and just live for the bubbles at the end?!!!

Everyone's a winner!!!

Some toddler spaces still available in Wolviston, so if you want to see what we are all about head send us a DM for more information ♥️

If you’ve been thinking about trying a baby class but keep telling yourself…

“Maybe they’re too young.”

“Maybe I’ll wait until they’re sitting.”

“Maybe they’ll cry.”

“Maybe they’ll hate it.” 😂

You’re definitely not the only one who’s thought it!

Your baby doesn’t need to be “ready” in the way you might think they do. ❤️
Sometimes the biggest step is simply getting yourself out of the front door.

So if you’ve got a little one in Stockton-on-Tees, Billingham, Darlington or surrounding areas- NOW could be the perfect time to give it a go. 🥁

Not sure which class would suit your little one?
Send me their age + where you’re based and I’ll help you choose. 💕

💚 This is the bit of running my own business that you don't see very often.

There's the admin.
The emails.
The planning.
The endless list of things that need doing.

And then there's the other side of the job - standing in front of a room full of little people, finding the energy to sing, dance, play, smile and give them my absolute best.

But right now, outside of work, life is really really hard.

My ex-husband has spent this month in and out of hospital. His Motor Neurone Disease is progressing rapidly and he has been suffering with aspiration pneumonia. There are big worries, lots of uncertainty and some very emotional days. And trying to juggle all of that alongside running a business, being a mum and keeping everything else going can feel like a bit too much.

But one of the things I am incredibly grateful for about Rhythm Time is that it gives me something positive to focus on.

When I walk into a class, I have little people smiling at me, parents singing along, babies discovering new sounds and toddlers making me laugh. For that time I get to be completely present in the moment.

And then when classes are over, I go back to the admin, the washing, the school runs and the hospital visiting.

I am sharing this because sometimes social media makes running a small business look very shiny and straightforward.

The reality is that behind the reels, the classes and the smiling photos, there is a real mum trying to hold everything together too.

Some days I manage that better than others.

And that's ok. 💚

🎵 CHIME BARS! 🎵

Look out for chime bars in our classes this week! Great for developing hand/eye coordination and awareness of pitch!

Little ones really love our chime bars and they don't even realise how much they are learning from using them!

Still a few spaces available in some classes if you want to come along and try them out!

🎵💚🥰 We had a lovely morning at The Moline Cross in Norton today!

There was lots of 𝗱𝗿𝘂𝗺𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗲𝘀, listening to 𝗮𝗻𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗹 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘀, and plenty of gentle sensory exploring for our 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗯𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗲𝘀, including some gazing at our gorgeous twinkly star blanket. ✨

Our 𝗡𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹, but we still have spaces in our 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗮𝗯𝘆 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀 for little ones aged 0–6 months. 💚

Our youngest baby is currently just 𝟱 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸𝘀 𝗼𝗹𝗱, and that’s a perfect age to start! There really is 𝗻𝗼 𝘀𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗼𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗥𝗵𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗺 𝗧𝗶𝗺𝗲.

Young Baby is a lovely, friendly little class with 𝗴𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗺𝘂𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀. The sessions are relaxed, welcoming and short and sweet, giving you and your baby the chance to enjoy some special time together without feeling overwhelmed.

If you're wondering whether your little one is too young, why not come along and try a class? 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗼𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸. 🥰🎵

♥️🎶 What a lovely start to the Autumn Term we have had!

I cannot emphasise enough how grateful I am to all of my Rhythm Time families for your support, warmth and enthusiasm when you come along to my classes, and how that welcoming environment is as much because of all of you as it is because of me! Whilst I am up at the front making final preparations before class starts, you are the people that make a difference to whether a new parent and child feels comfortable or not. So thank you for what you do in that way to help my business to sustain and grow.

Congratulations to the two couples I mentioned in the video on your marriages! 🎉 💍 💒 👰 🤵 I really can't wait to see all the beautiful photos!

Have a great weekend everyone and if you would like to join our Rhythm Time community please do drop me a message or check out the class links in my bio!

See you soon,

Sarah ###

10 things I always say to new mums ❤️

If you're a new mum or about to become one, here are 10 things I really want you to know...

1) You are welcome here. ❤️

Whether you have had a shower, you're still in your PJs, you've cried in the car park, you're feeling emotional, or you've arrived looking like you haven't slept in three days... you are so very welcome!

2) Your baby loves your voice more than any other sound.

You might not think you can sing. You might actively know you can't sing! 😂

Your baby doesn't care.

To them your voice is familiar, comforting and special. So sing. Loudly. Quietly. Badly. Every day.

3) Babies Cry.

They just do.

They cry when they're hungry, tired, overstimulated, uncomfortable, frustrated... and seemingly for absolutely no reason whatsoever!

If your baby cries in class, please don't panic or apologise. We have all been there.

Take a break, feed them, cuddle them, walk around... Do whatever your baby needs. There's absolutely no judgement here.

4) Trust your instincts.

You know your babt better than anyone else.

If something doesn't feel right, ask questions. If you're concerned about their health or wellbeing, keep asking until you feel you've been heard.

You are not being 'silly' or 'overprotective' for knowing your baby and speaking up for them.

5) You don't have to love every minute.

It is OK to question your life choices sometimes 😂

When my eldest was born, he screamed for FOUR MONTHS. Pretty much solidly.

I remember thinking "what on earth have I done?"

It was absolutely hell on earth. I felt helpless and like I was doing everything wrong.

It turned out he had a cow's milk allergy.

It wasn't my fault. It wasn't his fault. There was a reason.

So if you're finding things really, really hard, please don't assume you're failing. Sometimes things genuinely ARE hard!

6) I have been where you are.

I've had the sleepless nights, the crying, the worrying, the second-guessing, the "is this normal?" googling, and the days where getting dressed felt like an achievement.

You don't have to pretend everything is fine with me.
