MASSIVE CONGRATULATIONS to baby & pre-school teacher, Catherine, who has won our Spring/Summer Star Teacher Award 2024!!
"Absolutely an amazing teacher! I have travelled significantly longer just to continue being with Catherine. I have tried numerous classes and none give me the same experience Catherine does.
She’s warm, welcoming and makes me feel really comfortable with baby. She’s brilliant at tailoring the lessons to each individual pupil and clearly puts safety first which is a big deal to a first time Mum. I just wish there were more classes near me with her running them.
Every lesson feels like my first, she greets us so politely, listens intently and reassures all in the class. She is brilliant at explaining exercises and provides tips and pointers as you go along. She’s always got a huge smile on her face and has such a lovely, warming attitude towards my baby"
Georgia Ripley-Hill & Theo
The well deserved nomination was chosen by the lovely Sophie from
Music Bugs Barnsley. Sophie had a very tough decision choosing from 80+ nominations for our fantastic teachers! Sophie said
"The reason I have chosen this one is knowing each individual pupil is clearly at the heart of what they do and all lessons are adaptable depending
on the children they have in front of them. Their warm and welcoming gestures put the children and babies at ease in the water and safety comes first which is paramount. A welcoming smile in the room will always lighten up the mood and builds up those positive relationships and attachments which allows children to feel comfortable."
A huge thank you to Georgia Ripley-Hill and Theo, and all of our wonderful parents who took the time to nominate their teacher, it really means the means the world to us and makes all our hard work totally worthwhile.
Thank you to Sophie for taking the time and choosing our winner.
