Children's birthday parties in Derbyshire Birmingham Cheshire Nottinghamshire Leicestershire South Yorkshire Staffordshire East Midlands Midlands area.

A FUN and EASY way to help your little one’s early development

The benefits of introducing music to a young child at an early age are immense. Music is one of the few activities that use both sides of the brain at the same time. So why not give your little one a head start whilst having great fun at our award-winning classes!

We offer 4 age-appropriate classes:

• Young Baby - newborn to 5 months
• Baby – 6 months to walking
• Toddler – walking to 3 years
• Pre-school – 3 years to school age

Our progressive classes are the perfect foundation for nursery or school. Our baby classes offer a total multi-sensory experience, stimulating all your baby’s senses and this helps vital brain connections to be made at this very early age. Babies then move onto our exciting and varied toddler and pre-school sessions. This is where we help develop their COMMUNICATION, SPEECH, CONFIDENCE, LITERACY, LISTENING SKILLS, PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT & SOCIAL SKILLS. All courses have been carefully created by a music teacher.

Our clean and safe classes are also a fabulous opportunity for you to enjoy special bonding time with your little one, and the chance to make NEW FRIENDS.

“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
