Hi! I’m Viv Hunt

Welcome to my classes in Leatherhead

Hello and welcome - I'm Viv and I run the Jo Jingles franchise for Leatherhead. I have been teaching classes since September 2006 and am passionate about the benefits music can bring to even the youngest children.

Starting from 3 months we see the progression through the age groups up to 5 years, welcoming lots of siblings along the way. There has been a lot of research into the benefits of music for young children.

Hello and welcome - I'm Viv and I run the Jo Jingles franchise for Leatherhead. I have been teaching classes since September 2006 and am passionate about the benefits music can bring to even the youngest children.

Starting from 3 months we see the progression through the age groups up to 5 years, welcoming lots of siblings along the way. There has been a lot of research into the benefits of music for young children. Our classes are well structured to provide a fun and interactive environment which brings 45 minutes of musical fun every week.
I originally worked as a childrenswear designer during which time I had my three girls of my own! Upon the birth of my third daughter I found the work/home balance more and more difficult to juggle and so decided to stay at home and bring up my children (much harder than any other job I’ve ever done!). Once they were all in full time education I became a classroom assistant in Reception at the local primary school. This gave me a greater insight into the differences between boys and girls and also how they learn!! I then became a class teacher with Jo Jingles in 2006.
Jo Jingles has established itself as the most comprehensive pre-school music group in the UK and I am very proud to be part of a professional national network which provides excellent music education in a fun and interactive way.
It is a well-documented fact that young children can only focus on a task for about 15 minutes at a time. Jo Jingles classes are structured to hold their attention for a full 45 minutes through song and actions, instruments and movement. The classes are constantly changing to keep the children’s attention focused - ideal preparation for a classroom environment.
I have always loved working with children and it is a real joy to see them develop all the way through from 3 months to when they leave us to go on to school. Seeing their confidence and understanding grow through music and movement is incredibly rewarding and apart from the fantastic fun we have in class your child will also benefit from meeting and making new friends, speech and language development, hand/eye co-ordination, mathematical awareness, physical skills, confidence, social skills and developing their imaginations and with your help they will see learning is FUN!
We look forward to seeing you soon to join in the fun at Jo Jingles.

He is extremely friendly and actively participates in all of our classes. At the start of each session he welcomes all children with a smile, a wave and a cuddle. Then he might sing or dance or pretend to be a train driver, a monkey or even a teapot.

Sometimes he hides and we have to look for him. Sometimes he falls asleep and he needs some help to wake up. Sometimes he is shy and we have to encourage him to join in with the fun. But he always makes time for plenty of hugs and kisses when it’s time for the children to say goodbye.

Anna started Jo Jingles when she was 3 months and has loved it ever since. Over 2 months later, she gets excited when she hears the first song as she knows what's about to happen, and often falls into a nice early afternoon nap after the class has finished. Great balance of songs, interaction and relaxation.

We've been going to Jo Jingles for 8 months now and it's easily Matthew's favourite activity in the week. Lots of singing and songs with actions, playing different instruments and a relaxed chillout with bubbles. He gets really excited when Jo comes round to see how we are all doing. Looking forward to many more years of fun music with Jo and Viv.

I have been taking my daughter to Jo Jingles ever since she was about 4 months old and she is now 2 and has loved every minute of it! She loves music and it has not only developed her musical skills, though also her listening skills, hand eye coordination and confidence in a group of kids. See you soon Jo - beep beep!

I've been taking my 8 month old son to Jo Jingles for the last 5 months and it's honestly the highlight of his week! He loves the songs and musical instruments which are different each week. He has started to recognise the songs and grins from ear to ear when his favourites come on. He gets so excited when Jo comes round he almost takes off - flapping his arms and legs around! Viv is a very friendly and enthusiastic teacher. I can highly recommend this class to all parents who are looking for something different from the average baby group and something far more personal!

Jo Jingles was recommended to me by my sister, who took all 3 of her children. We love it and Viv is fantastic. Thomas is a little cheeky monkey and going to the classes every week has really helped him to start to listen and follow instructions and most importantly have fun with music and other children. Now he is 2 he can join in so much more and if so rewarding watching him sing the words to songs and follow the actions. The classes are fun and friendly. The bubbles are a definite favourite and I think one of Thomas' first words Thank you Viv and Jo :-)

My daughter Amelia loves Jo Jingles! She has been attending from being a baby and I have seen a her ability to join in with group sessions, concentrate, watch and copy others, dance, play musical instruments and socialise with other toddlers grow month by month. She enjoys the variety of action songs, instruments, magical bubbles, peek a boo and other movement games which all capture and keep her attention. The songs have increased her knowledge too with songs naming body parts and counting. The Jo Jingles sessions are fun and engaging, everyone is welcomed and there is a friendly atmosphere. Amelia is very fond of both Viv and the Jo Jingles puppet!

Amazing! My 1 year old loves Viv and Jo Jingles,
My only regret is I didn't start her sooner - if you are looking for a great activity for mum and baby/toddler
This is a MUST!
Viv is fantastic! I started taking my first daughter Rebecca when she was 6 months - she loved her Jo Jingles classes and was very sad when school meant she had to give up at 4yrs. My youngest, Jessica loves her class as much as her sister did. She gets so excited when I say "shall we go to music". We love our weekly classes - thanks Viv!

Dear Jinglers Everywhere,

Due to the ongoing Coronavirus situation and guidelines provided by the Government and Public Health England* ( & all other relevant Regional Public Health agencies) our customers and class teacher safety and well-being is absolutely paramount.

Sadly, in view of the most recent news and recommendations Jo Jingles classes are now TEMPORARILY CLOSED in ALL areas.

However, you can still enjoy Jo Jingles @ Home – many of our Jingle areas are now offering fun online music sessions so contact your local Jo Jingles representative for further details either via Facebook or https://www.jojingles.com/find-class

If there’s not one available in your area at this time do take a look online to see where you can join another online session in our Network https://www.jojingles.com/find-class.

During this very difficult time we want to support families at home and provide some musical fun and entertainment for children.

If you would like to also stock up on musical goodies to accompany the sessions visit Jo’s Shop at https://www.jojingles.com/shop – it’s business as usual, at this time, for all online orders received.

This situation is evolving rapidly, and we will keep you updated if things change but in the meantime we are continuing to follow all necessary health and safety guidelines.

We’ll also shortly be announcing some NEW and exciting Jingle products too!

We will really miss all of our lovely ‘jinglers’ but hope to see you & all your friends again very soon,

A huge THANK YOU for your ongoing support.

Keep safe and please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries.

Best wishes

Jo Jingles xx
