Musical abc - Music groups for pre-school children in Kenilworth, Leamington Spa and Southam.

My toddler has lots of fun at the class, each week there is something different to entertain and learn.

'Musical abc is different to any other group we have attended over the years. The content is fast paced, varied and lively with different sensory experiences and a mix of traditional and new songs that are fun and memorable. Anne is always very friendly and welcoming. I enjoy coming as much as the children!'
Marie

'My son absolutely loves our sessions at Musical ABC. Anne's use of music to encourage youngsters to learn colours, animals and movement is brilliant and unique. We have signed up for another term and we look forward to the sessions every week.'
Jaime

'The classes are well planned with lots of actions to keep toddlers interested and the toys which come out for 'free play' at the end of the session are clean and in good working order. The choice of tea, coffee or chocolate (or juice for the littlies) before we all leave is more than welcome.'
Eileen

" My son Henry & I have been attending Musical ABC since May 2011 and have loved every class. Had i not been going back to work in January we would definitely be back next term. Anne puts in so much effort to each class, making them varied and fun. The classes are just the right size so all the mums (and sometimes Dads) get to know each other. We have made some lovely friends who we now meet outside the group too. Henry loves the classes and i really feel it has helped with his development. He loves the guitar which Anne plays each week and you can't keep him away from the mirror which is used at the welcome & goodbye songs. We have joined a number of classes whilst i have been on maternity leave and i can honestly say Musical ABC is the best. Anne knows every child and parents name (no name badges needed). You can be guaranteed to have a great time at Musical ABC and we are really sad that we are unable to be back next year" - Nicky & Henry Cooper (12 months).

"My son loves these sessions. Anne has put a lot of effort and thought into every one of them."

"I have thoroughly enjoyed Anne's classes as they are both relaxing and fun. The timeframe also suits my toddler's attention span. Perfect!"
Alison

"I am happy with the sessions that we have attended throughout the summer holidays & it has been nice to have had something to look forward to & entertain the children with.There is a good selection of music with simple, catchy rhymes, musical instruments to enjoy & puppets & other items to spark the child’s imagination into bringing the rhyme to life.We have enjoyed our time with you.Thank you."
Tabitha

"We have only attended two sessions with you but already I can see that my daughter has become very musical aware in fact I have been out and bought some musical instruments for her to play with at home she also now enjoys me dancing and singing around the house. We are looking forward to the rest of the term and would encourage others to try it out."
Michelle

"As a new mum, I am surprised at how quickly a baby develops and how early they need stimulation and fun learning activities. Musical abc provides just this. The songs are simple and fun and combine physical interaction with melody. Don't worry if you can't sing, Anne has strong and tuneful voice which fills the room and engages the babies. Anne makes everyone feel really welcome and is very aware of the behavioural challenges of babies and accommodates the most sensitive to the most boisterous in the group. I was surprised how well my 14 week old little girl was able to engage in the session. Simultaneously, a 9 month old little boy seemed to enjoy it just as much."
Michelle

"At Musical ABC it is wonderful to see the delight on my daughter's face as she experiences all the new sensory play things. We have learned lots of songs with actions at Musical ABC that are new to us both and we can use them at home too. I love watching my daughter at Musical ABC - she is so delighted with it all. I even want my husband to take a day off work to come and see her at the class!"
Anne

"I took my 12 month old daughter along to one of the Musical ABC Baby Bass taster classes and was amazed at just how much Anne covered in a short space of time. The pace was perfect to keep all of the children interested and stimulated. My little girl had a wonderful time exploring, listening and interacting. Anne puts so much effort in and the props and range of instruments she uses is fantastic. I've been to other music groups previously but this one is by far the most engaging. As a result of the taster session, I am planning to book a place to attend on a weekly basis as it provides a safe and friendly environment for my child to socialise, learn and have fun."
Julie

"My son and I are really enjoying Anne’s musical ABC classes, there are lots of props to go with the songs keep the kids attention- finger puppets, little games and dances...we really like the variety and the fact that the kids can stay and play and have a biscuit afterwards. Well done Anne!!"
Lucy

I wanted to say a big thank you for coming along to entertain the children at our Baptism Reunion Party the other Sunday. It was a delight to have you with us and the children really enjoyed your musical treasure hunt.
Many thanks indeed for your support
