May 2021 Update:  We are in the process of updating the Weekly Classes and Playgroups pages of the site for the New term.  Due to Covid restrictions, this is harder than normal as class providers are still confirming details/venues.  Please check all details directly with class/group providers before travelling.

Playgroups and Pre-School classes

Wharfedale & Craven and the surrounding areas are a fantastic place for bringing up children and there is plenty going on  children.

Below is a list of all the local playgroups and drop in clinics throughout the week and also details of all the children’s activities classes available across our area. Please contact the organisers directly if you would like to find out further information or to confirm class times or costs.

At Mumbler we love to know what is on for local families. Contact us here to tell us about your business.

If you want the most exposure, choose a “Featured” listing for just £10 per month. Featured listings are placed alphabetically at the top of the page, include plenty of details and all of your website, social media and email contact and a photo or company logo.

Bumble Kids classes are 45 minutes of fun for little ones and their big bees too!

The fun is created through music, movement and sensory exploration using a variety of age appropriate props including puppets, lights, bubbles, instruments and much more. Each class is a wonderful developmental experience for babies, toddlers and preschoolers (and the grown ups love it too!)

Everyone is made to feel welcome at a Bumble Kids class. Making new friendships, seeing a smiling face and escaping for 45 minutes is a big part of the joy in our classes.
