Twenty years of stay and play, brought into your nursery

For twenty years we ran weekly stay-and-play singing sessions for babies and toddlers in church halls and community centres across the West Midlands, and families came back week after week. This is that session — the same songs, the same puppet, the same giggles — delivered in your rooms.

⏱ How the 20 minutes runs

  1. Hello song. 2 min — every child greeted by name, with key persons alongside. The same hello song every visit, so they know what's coming.
  2. Action songs. 5 min — short, familiar songs with simple repeated actions. Babies are sung to on laps; toddlers stand and copy.
  3. Little Tickety and the Tickle Song. 3 min — the puppet peeps out, hides, comes back. Peek-a-boo timing, lots of anticipation and plenty of giggles.
  4. Parachute. 4 min — slow waves and colours floating overhead. Babies sit or lie underneath and watch it rise and fall.
  5. Bubbles and mini disco. 4 min — a soft light, never strobe. Music on, bubbles floating, reaching, pointing, popping and dancing.
  6. Medal and goodbye. 2 min — the same goodbye song every visit, and a Tickety-Boo Medal card for every child. For babies it goes to their key person for the bag.

Structured, never rigid. Babies and toddlers set the pace. If a song is working it gets another go; if they've had enough, Colin moves on.

👶 Why 20 minutes works for under-3s

Babies and toddlers learn through repetition, routine and a familiar grown-up. Twenty minutes holds their attention from the first song to the last, and hearing the same hello and goodbye songs each visit is part of the learning, not a lack of variety — it builds confidence, language and a sense of what happens next. We add new songs and games over time, so there's always something fresh alongside the favourites.

Often booked alongside the Mini Party

Most settings have us cover two rooms in one visit. We arrive once, set up once, and run one session for your babies and toddlers and another for your older children.

Ages: babies and toddlers, designed for under-3s. Numbers: room-sized groups, from a small childminder group upwards — more children changes the pace, not the price. When: weekdays. Where: your setting, indoors.
