My girls are nearly 1.5 years and my boss' LO is 2 years. We want to find a class that we can put them in together, but I don't know what kind of classes you would normally put a toddler in.
Any ideas of the type of classes I can look for that would be age appropriate?

Re: classes for toddlers?
God no, not daycare. Something for my husband and his wife to take the kids to, that isn't cheap, could be private / group / whatever, cost isn't an issue.
I don't think he'd want to put his son in dance classes, but maybe music or something. Also, communication is a big deal for my boss, as his son only speaks Chinese, and my kids don't yet speak much of anything. He already goes to gymboree... but I'm wondering what other classes for toddlers might be out there?
Music could be interesting... but what else is there?

We started art with ds around 18 months. It is a lot of parental involvement but it was fun.
My mom would tell you to go to a music class where they learn to beat on things. She swears to this day my lack of rhythm is because my nursery school didn't have us bang rhythmically on blocks with sticks ...
Hmmm... okay. So if you could put your toddler in any kind of class then, what would be your top 3 list?
Music
Gymnastics
Art
???
What about montessori something?

We do gymnastics for both kids through the little gym. They are int'l and I would highly recommend if there is one in London.
Next up would be some sort of music/movement class. Bth my kids do better with an outlet to move and participate, even now at 4, than to just sit and listen. Plus, if you're paying for this stuff might as well run them ragged so they'll nap for you later.
We also did baby sign in the uk and enjoyed it, it was very music based so Bruce liked it, too. But no real movement component.
I would do gymnastics first (like a gymboree), then music. Montessori doesn't even fit because they are very individual, not group activities.
can't do swimming because DH would be on his own, but I think we might start taking them on the weekends, because they would love it so much.
There is a thing that Hamilton mentioned in London, a few actually. We may try that, thanks!
A music class would be good - should I arrange a private in-home or in-studio class or put the three of them into a group? The boss only wants the best and "some cheap group class in a church" apparently won't do. What would define a good or excellent music class to you guys?

I know its a different city (and country!) but our National Concert Hall here in Dublin do mini maestro classes for kids of varying ages (from 6mths upwards).
Is there a similar place in London that would hold classes for kids? That would come under good or excellent music class I'm sure...

My SIL lives in London and her kids are 2 and 4. They both have a play gym thing they go to and both take/do/play football.
