  • What a wonderful special music class for young children. Anna, the class leader is an absolute star. I have been taking my granddaughter for 18 months and she thoroughly enjoys it. The pitch is just perfect. All Mum's, Dad's, grandparents and carers are so warmly welcomed and made to feel at ease. I can't recommend it highly enough.

    Lorraine Marcer

  • Anna is incredibly welcoming, super knowledgeable, and truly passionate about what she does. That passion shines through in every interaction she has with the babies and toddlers in her classes. She brings so much joy to the children while teaching them so much. My son, Adrian, absolutely loves her sessions and always comes home beaming with happiness. I highly recommend Caterpillar Music classes!.. And Mummy loves her classes too. 🙂

  • She’s amazing

    Tami kristall

  • We had the most amazing 3rd birthday for my daughter, the highlight being Laura and her incredible entertainment which kept all attendees engrossed- from 6 month olds to 3 year olds, even the adults joined in. Book Laura- you won’t regret it! She went over and above to personalise the experience and was so laid back and friendly during the booking process. We will book again!

  • Thank you so much Harriet for running such an awesome party for Lexi! My daughter had the best time - and didn’t want it to end. All her favourite tunes, great props- and delivered perfectly - it couldn’t have gone any better. Thank you so much 🙏🥰♥️

    Gaby Lewis

  • Every week we attend Caterpillar music my son is filled with so much joy, I didn't realise the importance of involving babies at such an early age. He absolutely loves the class and it always impresses me how prepared Laura is, the fantactic themes and they way she makes every child in the class feel special. I highly recommend joining the class!

    Genevieve

  • We absolutely love Caterpillar Music! Jade is so lovely and makes every class fun, relaxed, and welcoming. My baby really enjoys the sessions and is always engaged with the music, singing, and activities. It's become a highlight of our week, and it's been wonderful to watch my baby grow in confidence and enjoyment. Thank you, Jade, for creating such a fantastic class – we would highly recommend it! Jade is the best teacher!

    Kristiana

  • We had such a great experience with Caterpillar Music, and in particular with Laura — highly recommend! She was amazing with the children, keeping them engaged with a lovely mix of games, music and simple activities. Laura was incredibly kind and professional, children absolutely loved her! Everything felt really well-paced and age-appropriate, and the party flowed so smoothly. Would absolutely book again.

    Anastasia Silaeva

  • . Both myself and my son joined Caterpillar Music for the first time this term, we’ve both loved it so far! The interaction between Anna and the children is amazing! The puppets Anna brings to the group are so good and the equipment used! I can’t wait to keep coming back and will definitely be signing up for further groups

    Vicky Spittlehouse

  • Anita had boundless amounts of energy and enthusiasm, she made our sons 2 birthday extra special. All the children loved the Gruffalo theme and were singing, dancing and generally having the best time!
