A music-loving mum with a passion for singing is launching a new business venture for babies and toddlers across Stockport.

Chrissie Parris of Cheadle Hulme is hosting Monkey Music classes, which provide interactive musical activities for children from three months to four years of age. Having already opened in Cheadle, Monkey Music sessions will be launching in Alderley Edge, Poynton and Bramhall from September.

Chrissie has a passion for music, singing, and working with babies and pre-schoolers, and saw the opportunity to run her own Monkey Music franchise as the perfect way of combining these interests.

According to the Monkey Music website: "Classes are held in a safe, supportive environment. Children are nurtured through our structured curriculum, where everyone can take part and enjoy our educational, musical, fun-filled activities. Bonding and sharing precious time with your child will encourage them to become confident individuals.

"Our classes follow a four stage, progressive, age-appropriate curriculum, which promotes a child's social, emotional, physical and language development. During our sessions babies and toddlers are introduced to all aspects of rhythm, pitch and tempo and with the use of drums, beaters, maracas, rainmakers, sensory props and more, they can explore different sounds."

The mum of four commented: "I have worked previously with children as a swim teacher and loved it. The reward you get from teaching little ones a new skill is incomparable. I also enjoy learning new skills and have spent time developing my love of singing by taking lessons, vocal coaching and college courses to expand my repertoire and even venturing into classical and opera, and performing locally.

"After having a hip replacement earlier this year, I was finding poolside work a struggle for my recovery. I decided to investigate alternative opportunities to utilise my skills and my interests, and one that was on dry land! I couldn't believe it when I came across Monkey Music. It combined my love of singing and working with children and felt like the perfect opportunity for me. I feel so proud and excited to be able to bring such a reputable brand to the North West and share their amazing classes with the local community."

 Angie Coates, CEO and founder of Monkey Music, commented: "We are so excited to have Chrissie on board. Her enthusiasm and passion make her an ideal Monkey Music franchisee. Being musically trained, Chrissie has so much knowledge to share with the families that come along to her classes. We wish Chrissie all the best for her future with Monkey Music!"
