Family Sparkles Music (0-6 years)
A joyful mixed-age music class for babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers to enjoy together. Family Sparkles offers the convenience of one class for the whole family, while ensuring every child is appropriately supported and challenged.
We use the same much-loved songs across our early years programme, adapting activities to suit the ages present. Babies internalise musical concepts such as pulse, pitch, dynamics, tempo and rhythm through gentle movement and repetition. Toddlers reinforce these ideas through singing, dancing and interactive play. Pre-schoolers begin to understand and apply these concepts more consciously through structured games and creative, child-led moments.
One class. All ages. Growing musicality together.
While every lesson is different, we apply the same fun, thoughtful and tested structure to each weekly session in order to establish a comfortable and friendly environment for children.
All of our music teachers are professional musicians who play real instruments.
Classes Run by Your Local Head Sparkle!

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!

Can siblings join?
Yes! And we even offer a sibling discount. Contact your local Head Sparkle for full details.
Do I need to book in advance?
We recommend booking in advance as many classes fill quickly, particularly during term time.
How long is the class?
Classes range between 30 to 45 minutes depending on the age group.
What happens if I miss a class?
Up to two missed classes per term can be made up at another age-appropriate class in the timetable (if space is available). This is on the condition that you let us know by email or text at LEAST two hours before the start of the missed class.
How will my child benefit?
Sparkles Music classes support early development in a variety of areas, including:
- Fostering a life-long love of music and musicality.
- Building socio-emotional and cooperative skills.
- Developing confidence and a secure bond with caregivers.
- Increasing sensory, spatial, and bodily awareness.
- Enhancing memory, coordination, and fine and gross motor skills.
- Supporting speech, language, listening, and concentration skills.
- Laying the foundations for outstanding musical development.
What’s the difference between a term ticket and a trial ticket?
A term ticket guarantees your place in a class for the full term, allowing your child to benefit from our progressive weekly curriculum. Term tickets also include up to two make-up classes per term. A trial ticket is for your child’s first class in each class type only. Children may trial Music, Drama, and Dance once each.
When is the best time to start classes?
Our Family and Baby Sparkles classes welcome children from birth. Early exposure to music gently stimulates sensory development and supports bonding between baby and caregiver. Some families choose to begin from around three months, when babies are more alert and responsive. There is no perfect time to start – whenever you join, you will be welcomed into a warm and nurturing environment.
Do I need to come every week?
Our Sparkles curriculum is weekly and progressive. For maximum benefit, we recommend consistent attendance, as the skills taught in each class build on those learned in previous weeks.
What to do if my baby is sleeping?
Even if your baby falls asleep before the start of the class, we encourage you to come along anyway! Singing along helps you learn songs and activities to enjoy together at home, and it’s also a great chance to socialise and connect with other parents. Plus, you’ll discover how early music exposure supports your baby’s overall development and musicality.
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.

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

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.

A room full of 3 year olds is hard to captivate and you did it!

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

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

Jocelyn was such a wonderful entertainer. It was a long shift in a noisy room and she managed to sustain the kids’ attention so so well. My daughter was so happy and so many parents came up to tell me ‘Elsa’ (Jocelyn) was brilliant, as well as her assistant (Joy). Great energy, great games and left me able to catch up with everyone’s parents which was the ideal outcome! Would 100% book again.Parent – E4
The children loved the dance session. They were fully engaged using the colourful props. A wonderful experience that they spoke about for days after!Siobhan, Shumaila and Sarah – Pre-school teachers, Toots Day Nursery

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 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
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
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
Jasmine had a magical time, thank you so much, the entertainment kept everyone captivated for the whole hour!! A godsend!
Michelle Kennedy – Mum of Jasmine (aged 4), SW12
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
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
My daughter and her friends had an amazing party. Elena’s entertainment was just perfect! We will definitely be using you again in the future. Parent – KT12

Poppy and her friends had a great time thanks. Rachel did a brilliant job, tricky age to keep engaged but she managed to keep pulling them back in & they had lots of fun.Parent
Yesterday the party was a great success. Jhanei Sparkles has been amazing, the children had such a great time and enjoyed every minute of it.Parent, Clapham
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
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
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

Thank you once again and we will surely be recommending Lucy Sparkles to our friends.Varsha Ramani – Mum of Samyuktha (aged 2), NW3

We had our birthday party with Jhanei yesterday and I just wanted to write to say how very pleased we are with how things went. Jhanei was incredibly professional and such a sweet and lovely person not to mention absolutely AMAZING with all the children. She was so patient and kind with our group of rowdy 3-year-olds and it truly felt like she tailored her service to be exactly right for this particular group of children. Me and my husband were incredibly impressed, as were the other parents present, several of them came up to me throughout the party to say how brilliant she was. So another big thank you to Jhanei for making our party so memorable and magical, she exceeded our expectations by far! Parent – SW16
I just wanted to say thank you for sending Anna Sparkles today to entertain the children, she did an amazing job at keeping the little ones amused and I would highly recommend!Parent, RH5

Thanks again for making my daughter’s first birthday so special.Anna – Mum of the Birthday Girl (aged 1), SE8

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
Alejandra had a wonderful time and the entertainers were great and very patient. She thought it was loads of fun and it was nice to give the party some structure rather than have kids just running around. Thanks on the tattoos, they were a hit with the kid’s and a lot faster than face painting. Parent – E17
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
“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
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 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
My daughter really enjoys the session. Lucy makes it very interactive for both children and adults. Learning through music should never be underestimated. We both enjoy coming.Cheneen – 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
We were really happy with Jodie Sparkles and her assistant. She was well organised, showed great management skills over the kids and organised some fun and engaging activities. All of the children really enjoyed themselves and the mums and dads (that did stick around to drink the beer and wine on offer) were impressed. Many of them have come up to me since and thanked me for organising a great party with great entertainment. We would definitely recommend you guys and hopefully come back to you again next year. Thanks again!!Roger Bolton – Parent of Mae (aged 6), SE4
Hayley Sparekles was great and flexible which was amazing. My daughter loved her outfit. I will be sure to use your service again in the future 🙂Parent
The party was great! Megan was absolutely wonderful. She rang a few days before the party to go through everything and was super friendly and clear so I knew what to expect. On the day she was fantastic, entertaining the kids amongst the chatty adults! and keeping the children focused playing fun games and singing, but not too overwhelming for them all. She had made a playlist with all of my daughter’s favourite songs which was so lovely. I have messaged her to say thanks but I also wanted to tell you guys how much we appreciated her being part of my daughter’s birthday and how much fun she brought to the day. I think my daughter wants to do it all again this weekend! Parent – SE4

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
[I just wanted to] say how impressive the entertainers were, they kept everyone so engaged and entertained! Was so happy with them. We will definitely be recommending you to everyone. Thanks againParent, NW8
The birthday girl and her friends had a blast! They loved the party and had lots of fun.
Thanks you so much for your hard work, you did a brilliant job! Really pleased you made such a wonderful entertainment and engage them so well Parent
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
I just wanted to send a message to say how amazing Elena was yesterday at Lara’s party! Lara did not stop smiling and the kids all loved meeting “Elsa”. Thank you for making her birthday so special.Parent – WC1N
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
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
