Early Years Maths Classes in West Yorkshire
Play-Based Maths for Children Aged 2–5
Jump Start Maths delivers early years maths classes for toddlers and preschool children across West Yorkshire, including Kirklees, Leeds and surrounding areas. Our unique parent-and-child classes help young children build confidence, curiosity and strong mathematical foundations through play, movement and shared exploration.
If you’re looking for maths classes that genuinely support school readiness — without worksheets or pressure — you’re in the right place.
What Does Early Years Maths Really Mean?
Early maths is often misunderstood. Many parents worry about counting, number recognition or “keeping up”, when in reality early maths is about how children think, not how much they can recite.
In our classes, children develop:
number sense and quantity awareness
pattern recognition
comparison (big/small, more/less, heavy/light)
problem-solving and reasoning
early mathematical language
All through hands-on play and movement, exactly as recommended for the early years.
Maths Classes Designed for Toddlers and Preschoolers
Jump Start Maths classes are carefully designed for children aged 2 to 5 years, at a stage where learning happens best through physical activity, exploration and interaction.
Each session includes:
active maths games
themed play-based activities
movement and music
simple problem-solving tasks
modelling of maths language for parents
Children are never expected to sit still or “get the right answer”. Instead, they learn that maths is something safe, enjoyable and achievable.
Parent and Child Maths Classes (Learn Together)
One of the things that makes Jump Start Maths different is that parents learn alongside their child.
Adults:
hear the language we model
see how everyday play supports maths development
gain confidence in supporting learning at home
understand what “school readiness” really looks like
Parents don’t need to be good at maths. Our role is to help you feel confident using simple ideas, questions and play in everyday life — without pressure or overwhelm.
Supporting School Readiness Through Play
Our early years maths classes support many of the skills children need when starting nursery or Reception, including:
confidence with numbers and patterns
listening and turn-taking
following simple instructions
communication and vocabulary
perseverance and problem-solving
Strong early maths foundations help children approach learning positively — not just in maths, but across the curriculum.
