Lucy Sparkles & Friends in Canonbury, Highbury and Islington
The music and dance classes in Canonbury, Highbury and Islington are run by our local Head Sparkle, Lauren Sparkles.

Lauren Sparkles is an accomplished singer, dancer, actress, session musician and performing arts teacher. Her qualifications include a Bachelor of Performing Arts (Hons) from Winchester University and Grade 8 Ballet, Classical Singing and Musical Theatre. Lauren’s many talents include playing piano and ukulele and she incorporates these into her lessons.
When she’s not in the studio, Lauren can be found performing in and around London as part of a popular wedding and corporate band called ‘The X-Rays’ and she makes up one third of ‘The Haywood Sisters’, one of London’s top close harmony trios. Her performance credits stretch across the globe as Lead Vocalist on-board Carnival Australia cruise liners; The Opera House, Barcelona; and at home here in London performing at Kensington Roof Gardens, Regent Street Christmas light switch-on and the legendary Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club.
Lauren was proud to be the very first Lucy Sparkles & Friends Franchisee (Fulham, Putney and Wandsworth) and went from teacher to business owner. Lauren loved it so much she then went onto buy her second franchise on the other side of London (Hackney and Stoke Newington). “Its amazing how rewarding running your own business can be and I have learnt so much in just two and half years. Understanding how a child learns through drama, music and dance has been fascinating – I love it!”
In addition to Lucy Sparkles, Lauren provides private singing lessons for people of all ages and levels! Her love of teaching and influencing the younger generation stems back to her family as she is the youngest of four musical sisters, became an aunty at 17 and now has over 10 nieces and nephews!

We thought Faye was just wonderful! She was warm and lovely. The activities were perfectly pitched and we were really pleased we had herHanna, NW2
We are thrilled! and so thankful to you and Anna Sparkles.
Anna Sparkles made our party so personal by saying hello to every party attendee and by including all of our favourite songs, and made the whole party so much fun. I couldn’t have imagined a better entertainer for the party!
Parent, West London
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
The entertainment was fantastic on the.day, so thank you very much! Anna Sparkles was amazing and the kids thoroughly enjoyed it. Please pass my thanks to her.Parent, Egham
I just wanted to sing Sarah’s praises after the entertainment she provided yesterday at Zoe’s 4th birthday party. As a grandad with many years’ experience of children’s parties and entertainers, I must say that Sarah was far and away the best I’ve ever seen. She has a beautiful singing voice, warm, engaging personality, and her enthusiasm was infectious – even to adults. She kept 10 children rapt for 45 minutes, which is a magnificent feat. Bravo!Martyn Forrester – Grandad of Zoe (aged 4), SW2
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
The party was great, Amy Sparkles did a fantastic job – she engaged the kids in an inclusive manner, and was persistent despite the inevitable chaos sometimes created by toddlers 🙂 Parent, BR3
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
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
Lucy Sparkles are the only entertainers I turn to! They provide the best entertainment with engaging games, singing and dances for little ones. We also love their playful party themes!Parent – SW14
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
Thank you so much for a lovely party, Hannah was amazing and really professional, she phoned a few days before to go through the schedule which was very reassuring. She had a lot of fun games to do and things to get the children’s attention. They get excited and concentration is short for 5 year olds! They loved the sparkly tattoos. My son’s tattoo was on the next day and he was amazed, saying “oh it’s the lady’s magic!!”
My son had a lovely time! I really could not have done well without her.
Next children’s party I will definitely book with you again. Parent, SE11
We would recommend that every nursery have a Lucy Sparkles class. They have enriched our nursery curriculum, broadening the range of skills the children use to communicate.Claudie Judge – Manager, Mount Park Montessori
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
Our children thoroughly enjoy your drama classes which are highly inter-active and encourage both their listening skills and creativity. The lessons are well structured, very much geared to the young age group and a welcome addition to the Early Years Foundation Stage.Julie Cave – Manager, Toots Day Nursery
The session is fun-filled and very interactive, with lively music and instruments. I find it very useful for my baby 7 months.Parent – Maytree Nursery and Children’s Centre
Huge thanks to Rachel for the best party ever, we all loved it so much, Rachel was an absolute star, she established such great rapport with the kids from the word go, and made sure they all had a great time despite differences in age. The sparkly tattoos were also a great hit.Parent
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
Thank for yesterday. Faye Sparkles was wonderful. Boys and all the kids got involved and fully entertained. Thank you.Parent
Just wanted to say a massive thank you to Rachel for yesterday at my daughter’s 6th birthday party!!
She was fabulous and kept them all entertained for the hour! The girls absolutely loved her and my daughter keeps asking if she can come again Parent – TW2
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
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
Just to say how brilliant Anna Sparkles was yesterday at our child’s 1st birthday party! She had all of the babies (& parents) full engaged and loving every minute of it! I would highly recommend Sparkles Parties and Anna Sparkles was just excellent- thank you! Parent, SW London
Thank you to you and Rachel. Rosa’s Birthday was a great success, Rachel was brilliant and all the children had a great time. I was really happy with everything. Definitely reccomend you and will look forward to arranging another party with you. Thanks againParent
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
I just wanted to write to thank you all for organising a great party for Sienna and her friends yesterday. Frankie was an excellent entertainer and the children loved all the songs and games she organised. Sienna especially loved her dressed up as Peppa Pig and has been asking for her to return all day.
Thank you again for a superb event!Parent – KT11
Thank you so much for all your help with Oscar’s party at the weekend, it was a real success! Elise was brilliant and the children loved her!Julia Page – Mum of Oscar (aged 4), SW6
Thank you so much for everything. Jhanei was exceptional – she really made the whole event! She kept a group of toddlers happy and calm and most of all having so much fun. Even the adults commented on what a wonderful party it was, and that is truly all thanks to Jhanei. It was better than we could have dreamed, and our birthday boy was so so happy!
I hope she’ll do all of our kids’ partiesParent – SW11
I just wanted to let you know that Ella entertained at Sam’s party on Sunday. She did a fabulous job; kept a dozen children of 2-6 years old happy and entertained. This is no small feat. There were 3 boys (including my older son) who had got over excited and bashy, and Ella managed to calm them down and get them involved. This is the second time I’ve seen her work her magic and simply can’t praise her highly enough. Without that 45mins of calm, the cake wouldn’t have been finished, the food would’ve been unheated, the parents not talked to. I also really appreciate that you developed the entertainment along the party’s ‘rainbow’ theme. Thank you very much, Sam is still talking about his party and ‘his’ rainbow fairy.Julie Brinkworth – Mum of Sam (aged 3), SE15
The lessons are well structured, very much geared to the young age group and a welcome addition to the Early Years Foundation Stage.Julie Cave – Manager, Toots Day Nursery
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
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
I just wanted to write and let you know that Bella had a lovely party thanks to the wonderful Jodie! A true princess who I’m sure put a spell on the toddlers…. us mums were in awe at her ‘princess control’ over them all! Thank you again for squeezing us in at short notice.Becky Ford – Mum of Bella (aged 3), KT14
Ben Sparkles has been with The Park Gardens Nursery for more than a year as a peripatetic singing teacher. He takes the sessions very seriously and is able to manage children of different ages in groups of twelve. He uses a variety of instruments, a parachute and lots of visual aids. Some of the songs are original and they are mixed with familiar ones. He has an excellent record of attendance and is always punctual.Ben always shows care and commitment in all his work with the children and in turn they love having him here. He will go out of his way to ensure the children in his care are safe and secure at all times. Ben would be an asset to any nursery class. He conducts himself well in his duties within the setting and is professional, trustworthy and beyond reproach.Helen Wiffen – Nursery Manager, The Park Gardens Nursery School

Hello Tamara. Thank you so much for a fantastic party. Everyone had a blast and all the parents were very complimentary too!

Best wishes, Louise.Louise Byrne – Mum of Liam (aged 3), W9

Many thanks again.Parent – SE3

Just a quick note to say that Lucy was excellent at our Party on the 17th Oct. We loved the fact that she held the children’s attention the whole time; even the rowdy ones.

I would just like to thank you and Hayley Sparkles for making our birthday party so wonderful. The children loved it and had an amazing time! End of term party
The hugest thank you for being so fantastic at our son’s party on Saturday. Honestly, you were brilliant and we were all amazed by your ability to engage all the children for so long. They had such a wonderful time and it was such a joy to see so many happy smiling little faces. Your entertainment was perfectly pitched to their age, with great variety and we have had such lovely feedback from friends and family who loved it like us. Your outfit was brilliant too! He loved it! With Covid, it was our first proper little birthday party we have organised for him and you made it such a joy to organise and attend. I shall certainly be passing on glowing recommendations to friends and we shall no doubt be in touch for many parties to come for both our children!Parent
Thank you so much Hayley Sparkles for a wonderful party, the children absolutely loved it and had so much fun. What a gorgeous singing voice you have too, we are completely blown away and I’m sorry I didn’t get to say goodbye properly. 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
It was great fun! Nina and all the children really enjoyed Rachel performance, she was great!!! We will definitely be in touch for next year! Thank you!!Parent – SW11
I just wanted to say that Jodie Sparkles was totally brilliant today. Everyone said how entertainers often don’t work out as they can’t hold children’s attention. Not so with Jodie! She had the little ones captivated and everyone thought she was fab. Mummys and little ones alike. Thanks so much!Jo Tauscher – SW18
Hi Lucy, I just wanted to thank you for yesterday! You were brilliant. Way more than I hoped for, especially as it was so short notice. All the mums and kids loved you. We will def use u again. All the best.Daniela Townson – Mum of Eveie (aged 3), W4
Thanks so much for organising for Sarah Sparkles to come to Olivia’s party on Saturday. Sarah was so lovely and all the kids really enjoyed the entertainment.

Sarah was so friendly and kind and everyone said afterwards what an amazing job she had done.Anna Walters – Mum of Olivia (aged 2), Chiswick
Rachel Sparkles did an amazing job and all the kids, especially my son, absolutely loved it.
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

The party was a big success and Christian Sparkles was fantastic. The kids loved him and he kept them entertained for 2hrs with ease. A big thanks to you and him! I will recommend Lucy Sparkles and friends! XParent, N5
Our children love Callie Sparkles. She is very enthusiastic when she comes and the children are always excited to see her and what she might have in her special bag this week. She keeps things very varied for the children and every week has something new to introduce to them either by an active game or singing with the key board (in a very high pitch which I can not dream of reaching) or even combining the two and covering music and movement.The toddlers really enjoy her time too I have never seen them sit so well or so close to anyone before, again I think it’s because she changes things up for them and introduces some variety.The parents have given some really positive feedback about her too as the children go home with their ‘sparkles’ from her telling them all about her.Sarah Owen – Owner and Manager, Toad Hall Nursery Group
All the parents and children who attend our Sparkles sessions with Sally Sparkles absolutely love them! We have a full session every week with parents queuing up to get in! The children really benefit from Sally’s welcoming, enthusiastic and fun nature and learn through her consistent delivery of fun songs and actions.Blaise McDonald – Children’s Centre Deputy Manager, Bell Lane Children’s Centre
All our children love the music lessons provided by Lucy Sparkles and they especially treasure the ‘sparkles’ given to them at the end of each lesson! Veronica Sparkles and Sarah Sparkles provide calm yet stimulating lessons which engage all the children at Marmalade Bear. It is wonderful to hear the children singing new songs and developing their creative abilities.Hayleigh – Head Teacher, Marmalade Bear School
Lucy Sparkles is a fabulous teacher. She interacts with the children well and has built a great relationship with our children. Lucy builds on the children’s interests each week and incorporates our theme into her lesson plans. She has a large range of resources and all our children have of fun with our new music and dancing classes. We highly recommend her and her team.Daniella Goodman – Founder and Manager, Little Linguists Nursery School
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
Just to say thank you for an absolutely incredible birthday party for our daughter. Anna Sparkles was absolutely amazing. She kept all the kids completely captivated for an hour and our daughter adored it and sung along to every song! Parent, KT10
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
Massive thank you for your help at our party yesterday! You were wonderful and it was not an easy task with the weather being so hot and the kids so scattered. We really appreciate how well you kept them entertained.Parent – SE10
From the day I got in touch to the day of the party, everything went so smoothly and was completely stress-free for me. On the day itself, Ella was our entertainer, and she was absolutely brilliant! It was a group of 3 to 4 year olds, and she kept them engaged and entertained for a full hour. Thank you so much for being a part of my daughter’s special day—I highly recommend using Lucy Sparkles!Parent – TW8
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.Hari – Parent of Anoushka (aged 4), SW12
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
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
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
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
We would recommend that every nursery have a Lucy Sparkles class. It’s such fun!Claudie Judge – Manager, Mount Park Montessori

She had the best possible time & declares the best thing about her special day was your appearance; you have a lovely singing voice and a wonderful way with children and adults alike.Parent, Hackney and Stoke Newington
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!

We had a Lucy Sparkles party for my daughter’s birthday and it was one of the best children’s parties I have ever hosted. The ages of the children ranged from 3 years to 7 years and they were all transfixed for the whole time. Not one of them moved from the party room and they had great fun joining in all the songs and actions. In fact, they are still singing some of the songs a month later! Lucy was extremely professional and I received good communication from her leading up to the party – she was punctual and really good fun. I would definitely recommend Lucy Sparkles for a children’s party and as I have now hosted 15 children’s parties I would say she is one of the very best.Melissa Reed – Parent
Dear Hayley Sparkles,
I just want to thank you once again for such a beautiful party on Saturday You were absolutely fantastic and everyone loved you including the grown ups, who all said how talented and brilliant with the kids you were!
I hope you enjoy the rest of your summer and hopefully we will get the chance to have you at our children’s future parties!
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!
