Baby Sparkles Music (0–18 months)
A gentle and engaging music class specially designed for our tiniest Sparkles. This class helps babies develop a strong and secure bond with their parents or caregivers, as well as an innate sense of musicality.
We introduce babies to musical concepts (such as pulse, pitch, dynamics, tempo and rhythm), which are internalised subconsciously through sound, sight and touch. The repetition of songs and rhymes helps your baby learn the foundations of musical concepts and develop a solid basis for language and overall development.
Toddler Sparkles Music (18-36 months)
This interactive and engaging music class is specially designed for toddlers and will provide plenty of opportunities for them to sing, move and dance, reinforcing the musical concepts of pulse, pitch, dynamics, tempo, and rhythm through logically progressive activities.
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.
All of our music teachers are professional musicians who play real instruments.

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.

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 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
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.

I can’t wait to use your company again and thank you once again!Alice and James Feldwick – Parents of Tendo (aged 1), SW19
I am writing to share some feedback for yesterday’s birthday party. Hayley Sparkles is great. She is very experienced and demonstrates good control of everything, even though we have a big soft play at the party. The kids really enjoy the game and music and they do not want to leave the party at the end. And we have received very good feedback from lots of kids’ parents as well. Thanks for giving us this unique birthday experience!Parent, NW5

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 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
Rachel Sparkles did an amazing job and all the kids, especially my son, absolutely loved it.
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.

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
We had a brilliant time, thank you!
Elena was fab – she really kept the kids engaged from the moment she arrived and she had such a great voice!

Lucy Sparkles is a fabulous teacher. She interacts with the children well and has built a great relationship with our children.

We highly recommend her and her team.Daniella Goodman – Founder and Manager, Little Linguists Nursery School
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
Lauren loved her party thank you. Lucy did a great job as always, keeping the children entertained for an hour. I was a bit worried the boys might get bored as it was a Frozen party but the games and dances were not gender specific and everyone joined in. In fact one of the boys enjoyed it so much that his mum booked Lucy for a pirate party the next day!Amanda Osborne – Mum of Lauren (aged 4), SE22
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.

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
We were very pleased with Chloe and her assistant – the children loved them and they were fully occupied for the whole hour.

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

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

Lucy Sparkles came and entertained a gaggle of lively 3 year olds for my daughter’s birthday and truly made the party memorable for her.

Boys and girls, young and old, everyone was smiling and joining in!Emily Hendin – Mum to Beatrice (aged 3), SW18
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
Hello Tamara. Thank you so much for a fantastic party. Everyone had a blast and all the parents were very complimentary too!

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
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
We had a great time on Saturday and Halona was brilliant and very lovely! Martha said it was her best day ever, for real life! Thanks so much for organising everything.Parent – NW5
“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
We would recommend that every nursery have a Lucy Sparkles class. It’s such fun!Claudie Judge – Manager, Mount Park Montessori
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
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
Ella Sparkles was completely fabulous at my son’s party yesterday – thank you!Holly – Mum of Leo (aged 4), SW11
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
Thank for yesterday. Faye Sparkles was wonderful. Boys and all the kids got involved and fully entertained. Thank you.Parent
Lucy Sparkles is a great professional. Her weekly sessions are very important to our families. The music sessions really support our children’s development and parent-child interaction. They are also great fun for children and parents alike!Guiliana Chiappin – Family Outreach Worker, Maytree Nursery and Children’s Centre
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

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!

My son had a wonderful time! He was asking where batgirl had gone yesterday morning, his pals all loved it too – safe to say it was a hit with everyone… I would definitely recommend you guys to anyone having a birthday party.
Thanks again!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
I love singing and the actions.Shona – The Park Gardens Nursery

We would just like to say a huge Thank You to you and your assistant for providing the excellent entertainment at Armelle’s 3rd birthday party last Friday. Armelle really enjoyed it and she kept on talking about the “Let it Go” song and dancing with scarves. All the children had a lot of fun and both my husband and I were amazed at how easily you engaged the children and keep them entertained. We hope to be in touch next time when it’s Armelle’s birthday party again.Liesl Kannenberg – Mum of Armelle (aged 3), E14
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
I just wanted to say a HUGE thank you for making my daughter’s party so special on Saturday. 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
We were very happy with Hannah. Thank you again sending her to the party… Our son is still having the glitter tattoo and he doesn’t let us wash his arm 🙂Parent – SE23
