Hummingbird Music Group was established in 2014 by sisters Jo Taylor and Hannah Kidd both music graduates from University of Sheffield. We both had children at the same time and found ourselves singing many of the songs that our Grannie sang with us as children. This inspired us to set up a group where parents could learn (or relearn!) songs that they could sing at home with their child. Our baby groups focus on parents singing to their baby; we encourage parents to face their babies as they sing knee bounces, peek a boo songs and lullabies. Our all age sessions are very lively and we sing songs that encourage jumping and moving to explore musical elements like dynamics, pitch, tempo using things like scarves, shakers, claves, parachutes and bubbles.
Thursdays
11.30 drop in baby group for babies from birth to movers
Fridays
9.30, 10.10 and 10.50 pre booked all age sessions.

Les Petits Poissons is a complementary language school for children aged 0-12 of French speaking heritage. We meet every Thursday afternoon during term-time at Walkley Community Centre. We aim to reinforce existing French language skills and provide an environment for children to learn about the culture and traditions of French speaking countries.
We generally start each session with a craft activity or games before the children are split into age groups. The younger children listen to a story and do simple follow-on activities while the older children develop their vocabulary and reading skills using workbooks and other methods. We finish the session with songs for all children. Parents stay and are responsible for their child/children throughout the session.
Every Thursday afternoon during term-time from 4-5.30pm
