Happy New Year!
As everyone gets back in to the swing of things, I thought it would be helpful to highlight the classes with spaces, ordered by town.
The new year is often a time for changing routines and starting new activities. To help provide some inspiration, here are some ideas of new ones you might like to try. For full details of each class, just click on the heading. Most classes restart week commencing 8th January 2024.
Hope you enjoy whichever class you choose!

Mondays starting 15th January 2024 at Middleton and Aislaby Village Hall.
Toddler and me – from walking babies to 3.5years
Toddler with me, a chance for you and your little one to spend some quality time one to one or maybe a chance for you to sit with a cuppa here at Nest while your little one explores our open ended resources. From our cosy kitchen area, or maybe you have an adventurous little one that might like our Montessori play gym equipment. Finishing the class with songs & story time – making it even more magical.
Toddler and me starts from 9:30am till 10:50 giving you that option to drop your older children at school and head straight out to a class to enjoy the rest of your afternoon.
‘Baby and Me‘ here at Nest. It will be very much a ‘fourth trimester’ space, in which you can truly be ‘in the moment’ with your baby.
Also, a relaxed, serene environment to connect with other new mummies and daddies. There will be no pressure for the babies, or you, to do anything, except maybe enjoy a warm drink! But for those babies who are awake and looking for stimulation, a selection of simple, natural and gentle objects will be ready and waiting to be explored before story and songs during ‘nest time’
Baby and me starts from 11am till 12pm suitable for newborn to pre walking babies.

We want every child to love swimming, respect the water and swim beautifully. That’s why our standards are the highest and our approach is unique.
At Puddle Ducks, our highly trained and qualified teachers are experts at identifying children’s levels of ability and adapting activities to the individual, nurturing confidence and encouraging natural ability.
Our promise:
Your child is truly at the centre of what we do – our teachers are especially trained to identify your little one’s own stage of development and confidence. They will then tailor the activities to suit your child, ensuring that they are happy, developing at their own pace and gaining confidence.
We never stand still – our programmes and teacher training are continuously developed in the latest techniques, ensuring our teaching standards remain the highest.
We believe in giving your child choice – if your little one isn’t ready to do an activity, we listen to them and adapt what they are doing to something they are comfortable with. We want to build their confidence, not break it.
Providing true value – we know you see Puddle Ducks as an investment in your child’s future. Our lessons are worth every penny and we are continually told so by our customers.
Flexibility – if you cannot attend a lesson, just let us know in your online account and we give you a voucher to book an alternative class. Vouchers are valid for 6 months giving you lots of flexibility.
We run classes 7 days a week across York/Hull and East Yorkshire from birth to 10 years old.
