All our developmental MOOsic and Movement sessions are expertly planned for newborn babies, toddlers to preschool-aged children! We focus on nurturing positive play experiences from infancy and creating beautiful bonding experiences for families.

In all of our sessions, we use the most incredible and original music which studio recorded and written by a West End writer and producer. This allows us to introduce your little one to high-quality music which stimulates their senses and with our themes, helps them to explore their imaginations.
