Christmas is approaching at Lucy Sparkles in Brockley, Forest Hill and Crystal Palace and it’s a good time to celebrate some lovely moments from this term, and look ahead to 2023!
It’s been a busy couple of months for Lucy Sparkles and Friends in Dulwich and Herne Hill!
We hosted three Halloween Parties! A Dance and Drama Party for the Herne Hill Forum, a Halloween Music class for 0-4 years at The Charter School in East Dulwich and another Dance and Drama Party at The Green Community Centre in Nunhead.
We also held a ‘Saturday Special with Princess Belle’ at The Carnegie Library Autumn Fair in Herne Hill. The class was super popular! We don’t usually run public classes at the weekend, but we wanted to give parents that work Monday – Friday, the chance to experience the magic of sparkles with their little ones.
I can’t thank my wonderful team of entertainers and teachers enough. They are out and about in South London every day (including Sundays) shock horror – I know! This month, Mia Sparkles has stepped up a gear and is now leading BIG parties! Mia joined the team in July and has shown dedication to the role… She makes the perfect Unicorn too… Would you agree?!
Next month we have lots of Christmas entertainment in store… Announcements coming soon!

Ciao! Buongiorno!
I made the decision to move to Italy in 2020 when all our Lucy Sparkles and Friends teaching was transferred online due to the pandemic. The world opened and I decided to stay here…
Where am I? I am living in the beautiful countryside in Foligno in Umbria, the only landlocked county in Italy and more excitingly… I have started Lucy Sparkles and Friends Italia!
I am currently teaching Lucy Sparkles English Music in two nurseries in Umbria. The classes are not only fun and educative, but the Italian nurseries love them because they help the children to learn English. This gives a whole new dynamic to our Lucy Sparkles curriculum. Sometimes, I have to explain the instructions for the activity in Italian and then sing in English. In fact, last week I learnt that ‘Lullaby’ in Italian is ‘Ninna nanna.’ I love that word! Ninna Nanna!
The Italians also like to party, and we had so much fun for Halloween!
Last Saturday, I was asked to host an English Music class at the local library. So, in true Lucy Sparkles and Friends style, I popped on my fairy wings and grabbed my magic wand for… ‘Fairy English Music!’
I am having a ball teaching here in Italy. I particularly love the views as I drive to work… I am surrounded by mountains and glorious country side. Lucky me!
Hello and welcome to our latest Lucy Sparkles blog! I’m Sarah, and I look after Lucy Sparkles and Friends across Brockley, Forest Hill and Crystal Palace. At the same time, I’m also studying for a Masters in Early Years Education, and this month I want to look at one of the songs we’re singing in class through a bit more of a theoretical lens, to show you what skills we’re working on with the little ones, often without you and them realising!
When you bring your children to a Lucy Sparkles and Friends class, every activity has a purpose – whether it’s developing fine motor skills during a dance exercise or working on a sense of pulse. We want to give our children the best start to their musical education, but it’s got to be fun – that’s the whole point! As Mary Poppins says, “in every task that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun and…SNAP! The job’s a game!”
Well, this month we’re learning this song…
I love this song – it’s so much fun and there’s so much learning going on too!
You can hear that this song just uses two notes. But it’s not just any two notes – they’re what we call a falling minor third and we sing them at just the pitch that children’s voices develop at. You’ll hear children singing songs like this spontaneously all around – the ‘nee naw’ of the toy fire engine, the ‘I’m the king of the castle’ at the top of the slide.
By singing a song like this without being accompanied by a guitar or backing track, the children can hear the notes really clearly, and can start to join in – matching the notes they sing to the ones we are singing. This is called pitch matching, and it’s really important – whether you want to learn an instrument later in life, or simply sing along to the radio!
You’ll also have noticed that we do actions with this song – and lots of them! As anyone who’s ever spent 10 minutes with a toddler knows, children are not born to sit still! They need to move, and actually children don’t start to differentiate between music and movement until much later in life – to them it’s all part of the same experience (much as their early vocal development doesn’t distinguish between singing and talking). And by being clever with our movements, we can use them to reinforce what they’re learning in the song. We lift the babies high when we’re singing high; we drop them down low when we’re singing low. Or we sit around the parachute together, raising it up as we raise the pitch of our voices, and moving it down as the pitch lowers. We’re teaching the children a really key musical principle, but we’re doing it by playing games and having fun.
Next time you come along to a class, see if you can spot any other subconscious learning going on. If you’d like to know more, ask your teacher and they’ll be really happy to talk you through some of the key ideas behind the activities we do in class.
Sarah Sparkles

You made our child’s birthday such a magical one and the parents are already asking me for details to book you for their children’s parties Parent, N3
Jhanei Sparkles came for our daughter’s party yesterday and she was absolutely fantastic! There were loads of kids of all different ages and with different interests and she was just brilliant. She knew how to help the shy kids (including my daughter) get involved without being intimidating, she kept the more active ones busy and engaged and it just made the whole party not only fun for the kids, but also relaxing for the adults. She’s incredibly talented and we all enjoyed hearing her singing. Parent, SW20
I just wanted to pass on my thanks – Jhanei Sparkles did a wonderful party on Sunday! All the kids loved it and the parents thought she was fab, the party was perfect for the age group and Jhanei Sparkles has such a beautiful voice the children loved singing with her.

Hayley’s voice! Absolutely INCREDIBLE….. she sang ‘never enough’ and the children singing along with her got me awfully emotional, it was beautiful.
I have your details and I am sharing with everyone, Hayley was brilliant and the kids loved her. Thank you so much. Parent, WD7
Victoria was absolutely amazing and the kids were all totally spellbound by her! Best party entertainer we’ve ever seen and we had lots of comments on how wonderful she was from other parents too. Thank you very much, we have one very happy 4 year old! GU4 Parent
The party was excellent. Sarah and Matilda did an excellent job of managing a large group of children, and held their attention superbly. They were also flexible in accommodating the constraints of our space in the house and worked around the changeable weather conditions! They were patient in managing the kids and the sparkly tattoos in particular were a big hit. We would definitely recommend to others.SW12 Parent
I was a little sceptical about spending out on a ‘zoom’ party for my little girl but after experiencing Lauren Sparkles as a Dinosaur for a friend’s little boy, and seeing how my two stayed engaged for the whole 40 minutes (not an easy task!) I booked Lauren for a party of our own. So enthusiastic and a great variety of activities throughout keeping everyone involved personally along the way. Livestream Birthday Party
Hayley Sparkles did a great job, the birthday girl and all her friends enjoyed it a lot… we will certainly recommend this type of livestream party to our friends!Julia, SW16
Victoria was absolutely amazing and the kids were all totally spellbound by her! Best party entertainer we’ve ever seen and we had lots of comments on how wonderful she was from other parents too. Thank you very much, we have one very happy 4 year old! Sally, Mum of Darcey (aged 4) GU4
I would like to thank Lauren for providing the best birthday party I have ever had – and it was for my 70th birthday. It had long been a family joke that I had always wanted to be a ballet dancer- never a chance! I had come across Lauren as she was my little granddaughter’s favourite ballet teacher. I approached Lauren to see if she could help me throw a surprise Zoom ballet lesson party for the family.
Suffice to say it was a ginormous hit, we all had so much fun. Lauren pitched it perfectly for an age range from 3 – 70. She is a wonderful organiser, performer, communicator, singer, and dancer.I would highly recommend her parties to all. Many, many thanks for the most memorable birthday party ever.
Sue xxLivestream 70th Birthday Family Celebration
Wow what a great party! Thank you SO much for running such a lovely session, everyone has said what a fun time they had and how well you managed it all. It brought us all together – from all over the world! The birthday boy really enjoyed his little self and it was so nice how you gave his big sister plenty of attention too 🙂International Interactive Birthday Party
She had a blast and I’ve had so many lovely texts from the other mums that their kiddies enjoyed it too. You did a fantastic job and all via zoom too. True profesh! I admit I had doubts how into it Honey would be as she hasn’t enjoyed zoom calls with grandparents or nursery teachers all that much but the fact you were so good at capturing their attention and that numbers were restricted i think it made it the perfect storm to work out brilliantly. Honestly every single mum who joined in has raved about it too! Summer Zoom Party
We had a zoom party with Lauren Sparkles for my 1 year old’s birthday and it was brilliant. In these times when we cannot be together for such events, this was a great way to celebrate with the family, in various households around the UK. Lauren was engaging and the activities were perfect for the ages 1-5 years (which I requested). Every child was able to participate with ideas and it was easy to flip between seeing just Lauren and our camera, to seeing everyone on the gallery view. Even the grandparents had a blast. Thank you Lauren for making my daughter’s birthday special during these strange times. Interactive Zoom 1st Birthday Party

“Definitely recommend hiring Lucy Sparkles. We used them for my daughter’s 2nd birthday party. The booking process was very smooth, they were very responsive, the invitations were great. Our Sparkle – Ffion did an amazing job keeping kids contained, entertained and they all loved it. Seeing their smiley faces, how happy they were when engaging with Ffion, was priceless. I highly recommend and will definitely use Lucy Sparkles again in the future!”Agatha – Mum of the Birthday Girl (aged 2), SW19
I have been meaning to contact you to say how brilliant Tamara was and how well the party went. All the kids had a fantastic time – we couldn’t believe how engaged she kept 16 four year olds for an hour. They were utterly absorbed and thoroughly enjoyed themselves as did the parents who had an hour to chat! Scarlet was in heaven and still talks about Tamara a month later. I have been recommending you whenever I can!Olivia – Mum to Scarlett (aged 4), NW6
Our fairy unicorn was wonderful! She kept the group of 3 and 4 year olds very happy and entertained, everybody joined in, even some parents!
It was all extremely well organised, with our fairy contacting us beforehand, asking for our daughter’s favourite songs and so on – highly recommended!Anne Katrin Schlag – Mum of Eliza (aged 3), W11
Thank you very much, everything went very well. Megan the performer is a true professional and very talented. The babies enjoyed the music, interaction and entertainment. I will be recommending you to all our friends. I was also impressed by the information shared in advance, friendliness and responsiveness from yourself. Everything was very easy to organise. Thanks again for making my daughter’s first birthday so special.Anna – Mum of the Birthday Girl (aged 1), SE8
I run a little Montessori nursery in North London and the highlight of our week is our music class with one of Lucy’s friends, Harry Sparkles. The children are completely captivated for the entire session! Harry brings such enthusiasm and energy into the room and is so personable he is able to get the shyest of little beans to join in. Armed with his guitar, saxophone and clarinet, as well as a bag full of props, the children have learned so much. We have had to rotate the days that he comes so everyone can have a turn! Great for parties too. A big Thank You to the Sparkles team for providing such a great service in all respects.
Tamsyn Parry – Nursery Manager, Tam’s House, N16
Jasmine had a magical time, thank you so much, the entertainment kept everyone captivated for the whole hour!! A godsend!

I just wanted to say that Tamara was fantastic! The children had so much fun and apparently they were all talking about it today at nursery.
Nadine Carle-Edgar – Mum of Elias (aged 4), SW20Nadine Carle-Edgar – Mum of Elias (aged 4), SW20
Natali Sparkles was great – arrived on time and got set up quickly. The children loved her and she was great at judging who were the shy ones and how to approach them without scaring them off! My daughter loved it and still talks about Natali Sparkles and her bubble machine!
Anna Rae – Mum of Amelia (aged 3), SW7
My 5 year old had a wonderful time at her party and loved the fun and games provided by Tamara Sparkles. Some of her fellow guests declared it the “best fun EVER!” and it was certainly a big relief for me to know they were all having fun and being looked after. It was also the most affordable option compared to competitors and I’m pleased to say they lived up to their word of mouth reputation
Vicky Newbold – Mum of Elodie (aged 5), SW12
We had Ayshe Sparkles come to my daughter’s 4th birthday party. It was such a good idea to have her – she sang, organised the games and activities (even pass the parcel) and the kids loved it. Ayshe had such a lovely way with the kids, they all loved her. Thank you. Would certainly recommend to other parents – with a Sparkles entertainer, you get a bit of a break – and time to organise the food and cake!
Helen Russell – Mum of Emily (aged 4), KT13
Ginny Sparkles customised a series of beautiful face paint options relevant to our event. The children were absolutely mesmerised by her sparkly fairy dress and she was just fantastic with them! There was a big queue for face painting throughout the entire event and the designs were absolutely beautiful!Penelope Wort – Event Organiser for ‘Make Wonderful Things’ craft kit launch
I just wanted to say a huge thank you for providing an entertainer for my daughters 4th birthday party. It was an absolute fantastic success and I couldn’t have asked for a better entertainer. Yasmin was perfect and the kids absolutely loved her. She kept them entertained for the whole hour, even with loud parents chatting in the same room. She really was amazing. It was the best and smoothest kids party I’ve had or been to yet, all because of Yasmin. I will definitely use Lucy Sparkles when my 3rd child turns 4!
Peggy Mends – Mum of Eliza (aged 4), SE15
Loved the party, both Tamara and Charley were amazing and the facepainter was ace! We have already recommended you to our neighbours
Jana Ulph – Mum of Natalia (aged 4), SW12
We had a fantastic party, thanks to you and of course to Ayshe for doing such a brilliant job in keeping everyone entertained – my daughter remains convinced that Elsa was present in person and she loved all the singing and dancing. Appreciated her also swapping the sweets out of the pass the parcel and adding a new layer at short notice for a very late RSVP. Fantastic afternoon – thanks so much. A room full of 3 year olds is hard to captivate and you did it!
Laura Turner – Mum of Grace (aged 3), TW9
We were very pleased with Chloe and her assistant – the children loved them and they were fully occupied for the whole hour. Everyone kept commenting on how they managed to keep 20 children’s attention. We would definitely recommend Lucy Sparkles to friends and use them again for other parties in the future.
Emma Cochrane – Mum of Lily (aged 3), SW4
Thank you so much for all your help with Oscar’s party at the weekend and it was a real success! Elise was brilliant and the children loved her!

Just a quick note to say how wonderful we all thought Charlie Sparkles was!

I can’t wait to use your company again and thank you once again!Alice and James Feldwick – Parents of Tendo (aged 1), SW19
Fantastic afternoon – thanks so much. A room full of 3 year olds is hard to captivate and you did it!Antonia Burridge – Mum of Isabella and Lily (aged 3), SW18
Thea and her friend Emilia had a wonderful ‘Out at Sea’ fifth birthday party. We were amazed at how Anna Sparkles kept all 30 children fully involved and captivated for a full hour. We have been to entertainment parties before where it has been difficult to hear, but Anna’s voice carried easily. The party organisation and communication was all very friendly and professional. We knew Anna from Sparkles visits to nursery, so were very pleased to be able to enjoy a full party with her.Georgina Cox – Mum of Thea (aged 5), KT12
I was so impressed with the Kemi Sparkles at the trial we did. Isla is normally very shy and timid and she was dancing around and speaking up within ten minutes which is huge for her.Laura Ford – Mum of Isla (aged 5), SE15
The party was fantastic and all the girls really enjoyed it. Tamara and her helper were brilliant! They took care of the whole hour and the children were mesmerised. Even the more reluctant children were joining in by the end.Hannah Jenkins – Mum of Elise (aged 4), SE22
We’ve just had a lovely music session at Caterpillar with Hannah – what a lovely voice she has!Samantha Feilding – Registrar, Marmalade Caterpillar Nursery, SW12
Just to say we are delighted with the classes. Gareth is a star and the children adore him!
He always makes the lessons so much fun. Can’t recommend highly enough!!Sharon Nyss – Owner, The Kindergarten Nursery School, NW4
My husband and I were completely impressed with our experience hiring Lucy Sparkles. Not only did our daughter and her friends have an absolute blast, but my husband and I were able to relax while Lucy Sparkles completely took over. We were particularly impressed that she was even able to accommodate the “Girly Darth Vader” theme our daughter requested. Lucy was extremely professional, fun to work with, and most importantly, our daughter couldn’t have been happier with how her birthday party turned out. We will definitely be hiring her again!Beth Hungerford – Mum of Charlotte (aged 6), SE22
Just wanted to say a BIG thanks to all at Lucy Sparkles for the wonderful entertainment that Lucy and her team did for my daughter and her friends. Having just dropped my daughter off at school, it was great to hear so many parents say that they enjoyed the party as much as the kids because they could just relax and chat to other parents whilst their kids were having fun.Diana Squires – Mum of Gracie (aged 5), N20
Ginny Sparkles customised a series of beautiful face paint options relevant to our event. The children were absolutely mesmerised by her sparkly fairy dress and she was just fantastic with them!

We have had two Lucy Sparkles parties for my daughter; one for 4th and 5th birthdays. I can genuinely say that Lucy provided wonderful entertainment as both Elsa and Snow White. Lots of singing, dancing and role play. My daughter still talks about her princess parties and how much she loved them. I would absolutely recommend Lucy Sparkles.Rebekah Thomas – Mum of Maddy (aged 5), SE22
I just wanted to send a thank you note to Louise for making Armelle’s 4th Birthday party last Saturday a great success. She was lovely with the children and they were all so happy to meet “Elsa”. She did a really great job and helped keeping the children entertained.Liesl Kannenberg – Mum of Arielle (aged 4), E14
Sarah Sparkles was fabulous – from keeping me calm when the numbers started going haywire to the effortless way she almost mesmerised 20 children into following her every request. My daughter adored her and loved every second of being in the limelight under Sarah’s guidance. We had many compliments on the day about how good she was and we would 100% recommend you and use you again.Rebecca Hadley – Mum of Beatrice (aged 5), SW19
Lucy and I would like to say thank you for helping to make Evelyn’s 4th birthday a lovely event. All the kids had a great time and loved you, Evelyn in particular. And I have to say that your work is the best I have seen and we will be sure to mention you to our friends! We wish you the best and thanks again.Dylan Ambrust – Dad of Evelyn (aged 4), SE22
Thank you SO much for bringing the wonderful Sarah Sparkles back for our daughters’ joint birthday party, she made all the girls’ princess party dreams come true. She also did an incredible job with the boys, it was a large group and her experience shone through in ensuring that everyone enjoyed it and the party didn’t descend into chaos.Harriet Holme – Mum of Chloe (aged 5), SW12
Our daughter has been going to Lucy Sparkles music and dance classes since she was a baby, so there was no other option but to choose Lucy Sparkles & Friends to entertain at her 4th Birthday party. We had a princess theme and Tamara Sparkles came as Snow White and transfixed 15 three to four year olds for a magical hour that went by in 5 minutes. We also had the most superb face painter and the combination of both couldn’t have been more perfect. All the other parents said how amazing they both were and Sophie now can’t wait for next year when we have booked to do it all over again! Simply Superb!Jessica Bailey – Mum of Sophie (aged 4), SE15
Our pupils are so captivated by Lucy Sparkles’ sessions that everyday they ask, “is it Lucy Sparkles day today?” Lucy provides brilliant sessions and our pupils and teachers are delighted at the end of each class!The staff from Ecole Cadet Rousselle
I just wanted to say a really big thankyou for your and Gemma’s sterling efforts at Sophia’s party on Saturday. It was super noisy and super warm but you still managed to capture all the children’s attention! Brilliant dragon games, a lovely way with the children (even my totally overwhelmed birthday girl was wide-eyed and joining in), limitless energy and you have a truly beautiful voice. I wish I had the same effect when I ask my girls to sit down 😉 We’ll be in touch when birthday season hits again.Jo Graham – Mum of Sophia (aged 3), SW12
I just wanted to thank you for being so fantastic at Roxy’s birthday party last weekend. You made the day very special for her. I doubt she will ever forget it.Paul Stratos – Dad of Roxanne (aged 5), KT2
I wanted to thank you for sending over Niall Sparkles for my daughter’s birthday party. He was a big hit! We really appreciated his professionalism. He called us before the party to have a chat with us, which was very nice. He was punctual and very polite on the day and of course did a fabulous job singing for the children. Thank you once again and we will surely be recommending Lucy Sparkles to our friends.Varsha Ramani – Mum of Samyuktha (aged 2), NW3
We were really pleased with Kiara, who had her work cut out for her with a hyperactive group of mixed age children. Emma loved her party, and Kiara managed to keep all ages amused for 2 hours.Mum of Emma (aged 2), SW12
I just wanted to say a big thank you to Kiara for putting on such an amazing party for my Daughter and her friends! She was absolutely amazing and all the children had such a great time and gave us such positive feedback. Great money spent with you and I will be recommending you and using you again in the near future!!Sonya Cleverton – Mum of Summer (aged 4), TW19
