Welwyn Garden City Babies & Toddlers, Quaker Meeting House, 109 Handside Lane, Welwyn Garden City, AL8 6SP (see on Google Maps)£56.55 / month£14 / Taster Class
Can’t get to our in-person classes? We got you! Our ‘Online Only Membership’ is just the ticket. For just £5 per month (auto-renewing until you cancel) you’ll enjoy access to our library of 20+ Pre-recorded On Demand classes available 24/7 and our live on-line interactive classes broadcast during the school holidays.
Mini Mozart’s online classes will introduce your little one to the piano, violin, french horn, flute, clarinet, saxophone, trumpet and cello (among others) with a mix of nursery rhymes and Classical Music.
The classes can bring structure and learning to days spent at home, so if the weather’s horrid and you don’t make it out of the house or your child isn’t feeling so well, you know you’ve done something positive to help your little one’s development.
Each of the 20+ On-Demand classes is based on a different fairy tale, fable, or inspirational role and we use interactive games to teach the little ones about pitch, rhythm and repertoire. You can enjoy the class without them, but if you have a shaker (rice in a jar will do), a lightweight scarf, a favourite cuddly toy and some bubbles knocking around, it’ll help you get the most out of the sessions
The Quakers knew a thing or two about creating spaces for people to be together. The Friends Meeting House on Handside Lane is a perfect square which means it’s ideal for circle time and leaves lots of room for energetic kids to run rings around the rest of us! There’s also a wonderful grand piano which our resident pianists adore playing along with a little picnic area out front for snack time either before/after class.

What happens in class?
Our resident pianist and orchestral musicians will educate and enchant you with a carefully curated mix of Classical Music, nursery favourites, props and games.You’ll leave having had a great time, having met some other parents & carers with babies the same age as yours, and knowing you’ve done something wonderful to stimulate your little one’s development.
How do I get there?
The Meeting House is 2/3 mile from the main WGC city centre, and the 300 bus stops outside the venue.
Anything else that I need to know?
Welwyn Garden City, the second of the Garden cities that Ebenezer Howard designed is as beautiful today as it was over 100 years ago when it was conceived. It boasts a John Lewis, perfect for pre or post class coffees and lunches, and acres of space including gardens and fountains for your little one to explore. The Quaker Meeting house is about a 10 mins walk from the city centre.
