Fun & inspiring drama & singing lessons for children aged 4 - 18 years

At Little Voices, we see the potential in everyone – not just the talented few.

Our multi-award winning drama & singing classes grow confidence, build vital life skills, and nurture talent. We really will bring out the best in your child!

Lessons take place mid-week after school, leaving your weekends free to do other things.

And because we keep our class sizes small, no child goes unnoticed and every child gets the opportunity to shine in their own way.

We also work towards LAMDA exams and qualifications, which help boost their confidence and communication skills, as well as develop their musical and acting abilities.

So whether they’re dreaming of a life on the stage, or need help building their confidence, we’ll help your child reach their full potential and find their inner sparkle!

We offer FREE trials to all children, so if you’d like your child to come along to see how they get on, visit our website to find your nearest class, or contact your local Principal.

We can’t wait to see you!

Developing performance skills, promoting self-expression & building confidence

‘Bookings for Jigsaw’s Fun and Interactive Performing Arts Classes are OPEN for Next Term and we are so excited to welcome new faces and expand our Jigsaw Community. Two-week trial available to new Students.

Singing ~ Dance ~ Drama for ages 3-4 | 5-6 | 7-18 |

The classes are designed to improve your child's confidence, teach them new skills in the Performing Arts, and give them a creative space to make golden memories with new friends!

Visit our website to find a Jigsaw School near you https://www.jigsaw-arts.co.uk/weekend-schools/

Jigsaw was established in 1995 with a desire to pass on the joy of performing arts. The belief in the benefits of performing arts activities for children was the driving force in the creation of Jigsaw and the reason why Jigsaw has continued to grow and become a well-established high quality provider of children’s classes. Jigsaw has a team of dedicated and enthusiastic professionals who are committed to delivering fun and exciting dance, drama and singing classes.

Every student can benefit, in some way, from the performing arts. While some join us to build a firm foundation for a professional performance career, others do so to unlock their hidden talents, overcome their shyness or increase their confidence and social skills. However, what all students enjoy is having fun through drama, singing and dance classes, while making lots of new friends. Children ages 3-6 years attend a 90-minute session divided into three sections of dance, drama and singing. Students aged 7-18 years attend a three-hour session comprising of an hour of drama, an hour of singing and an hour of dance, each with a specialist tutor. To establish an environment that builds confidence, regardless of individual ability, students are divided into appropriate age bands. All students will be challenged to their full potential.

If you’ve not been involved in anything like the performing arts before, we offer a two-week trial to all new students, so come along and see for yourself! Fees for a whole term at Jigsaw are: 3-6 years £165 per term, 7-18 years £297 per term. Sibling discounts apply and you can pay online, over the telephone or via our direct debit scheme.

Jigsaw currently runs classes throughout London, the home counties, and Cardiff. Visit www.jigsaw-arts.co.uk to find your nearest school, or give us a call on 020 8108 0485. Jigsaw also offers holiday camps and birthday parties as well as running an in-house agency.

Water Babies is an award-winning, fun, innovative, educational baby school running swimming classes across Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire. Our fully qualified instructors are ASA Level 2 training and hold a Diploma in the Pre-Fundamentals of Baby Swimming – a mouthful I know but it basically means they are the based trained instructors in the industry! With a multi-award winning programme which teaches vital water confidence and safety skills from birth, our overall aim is to teach you to teach your baby to swim. So we’ll always explain why we’re doing everything, as well as carefully demonstrate exactly what to do.

Water Babies has the only baby/toddler swim programme that is accredited by the ASA (the Amateur Swimming Association) and which links directly to the National Plan for Teaching Swimming. This means that when you leave Water Babies, your child will have achieved a certificate that can be taken to a main stream swim school who will understand what your child has achieved and thus, fit them into their own programme at an appropriate level.

Through carefully structured training, babies can be taught life saving skills such as turning onto their backs or, following a sudden submersion, swimming to the nearest solid object. They grow familiar with what it feels like to fall into water, so that should they ever accidentally fall in they are far less likely to panic and drown. And our results speak for themselves. In the last three years alone, at least ten of our tiny clients have saved their own lives as a result of the skills they learnt at Water Babies – and five of them were just two years old at the time.

Baby swimming lessons run in Aylesbury, Hemel Hempstead, Milton Keynes, Northampton, Buckingham, Bedford, Banbury, Towcester, Brackley, Leighton Buzzard, Wendover, Bletchley and Luton. We would love you to join us so for further details please call 01295 709221

Extra-Curricular Classes

“Such a popular extracurricular activity, extremely well organised; they are run by dedicated, enthusiastic staff who are educating our children in cookery skills and widening their horizons! First Class!” Rob Harmer, Headteacher at St Marys School, Henley-on-Thames

Open Classes – Weekends and Holidays

The Best Club ever!!!! That’s how my daughter describes Smart Raspberry Cookery School. The Saturday morning and holiday clubs have taught my daughter how to cook a vast array of sweet and savoury dishes, which has increased her confidence and taught her to be responsible around the kitchen. The recipes are easy to follow and so good I have actually continued to use them myself, definitely recommended!!” Rachel Foreman, Parent

Workshops in Schools

“We recently worked with Smart Raspberry for our discovery week. Our theme was Mind, Body and Soul. We were given amazing options for our cooking class and they were able to work with our date and time constraints. In the end, we chose smoothies and a noodle salad. All of the students choose the cooking class as a highlight of their week. The food was delicious and many students reported later that they had made them on their own at home. Overall a great success. The end result included happy and full students! Highly recommend!” Mercedes Savage, ACS Hillingdon International School

Parties

“My daughter had the Smart Raspberry cupcake party for her 8th birthday. It was fantastic and all the girls loved it – the cake making, the icing (with an animal theme) and eating the final product! One of her friends needed an egg-free version and her Mum said they were the best egg-free cakes she had ever tasted! I would thoroughly recommend Smart Raspberry for an exciting and hassle-free party” Karen, Parent

What’s on 4 Kids 2017 Awards – Voted Best National Activity for Children aged 5-12 years old - 4th consecutive year - Voted for by Parents & Children

For over 30 years La Jolie Ronde has been a unique centre for learning not just a second language but a platform for introducing children to the everyday realities of the country and the culture they are studying. Our award winning programme, for 0-12 years, contains stories, action poems, chants, songs and games enabling children to learn whilst having fun! Children progress through the programme and there are different starting points so children can start learning French or Spanish whatever their age following a programme tailored to their age group. Topics are based on real life situations suited to the interest, experience and social development of each age group.

WHY LEARN ANOTHER LANGUAGE?

• ENHANCE LIFE SKILLS - Speaking another language opens the door to new possibilities & opportunities. Travel and lifelong friendships are built with the people you meet along the way if you're able to communicate easily
• DEVELOP CONFIDENCE & SELF ESTEEM - Learning a second language is incredibly rewarding and can enrich personal life too. We encourage children to use language in real life situations which in turn will enable them to overcome fears and doubts leaving them feeling much more confident
• BOOST OTHER LEARNING - Research has found that pupils who study foreign languages, tend to score better at standardised tests than their monolingual peers. This has been particularly noticeable in maths, reading, and vocabulary
• IMPROVE YOUR EMPLOYABILITY - Our globalised world means companies are constantly expanding overseas plus dealing with clients from all over the world. Speaking a second language enables you to communicate with a broader network

WHY CHOOSE US OVER OTHERS?
