Since its launch in 2013, Groovy Little Movers has taught over 4500 classes across Solihull and Birmingham. From small beginnings, it has developed and expanded its services to provide a range of training courses and digital resources. The combination of in person classes and access to digital music and video resources provides a supportive framework for teachers as they embed Groovy Little Movers into their curriculum. 

 

Classes are structured with a balanced mix of repeated and new content, so learning builds week by week. Children develop their fine and gross motor skills, balance, muscle tone and posture, as they move using a variety of props and instruments. Skills of communication and language develop as they use Makaton signs, listen to and learn phonetic sounds, and  sing our songs. Social skills and understanding of their physical and emotional well-being are developed as children work with others to take turns, learn how their bodies respond to exercise, how to slow down and regulate their emotions. 

 

Groovy Little Movers has its own original music, created in collaboration with Andrew James. Our music and songs not only support the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, but they sound great too.
