Obviously it’s ridiculously cute in there… But what’s actually going on?

Amidst all the smiling babies there is so much learning happening.

Thank you Nisha Sparkles for capturing such special moments for us!

AAHH! All our little ones are transforming into big dinosaurs!! 🦖😜

Each week in our dance classes we travel to Danceland and explore a different theme.

And this week we get to play one of our favourite games…
DINOSAUR FINGERS! 🦕👐

This activity not only strengthens the fingers and improves dexterity, it also helps children practise counting and early problem-solving.

As they associate each finger with a number, their hands become a helpful tool for basic calculations.

Want to join the fun? Come join us at Sparkles & Friends Battersea & Clapham!

September has a way of arriving all at once…

New school shoes. Packed lunches. After school clubs.
Calendar juggling!

And somewhere in the middle of it all…

“This year I want a Frozen party!” 💖

We know it all too well 😂

Let’s chat about how we can make this the easiest September yet!

Literacy starts loooong before they ever hold a book.

Like with those nursery rhymes you’re constantly singing!

As parents, it's easy to feel like we need to do more.

We’re told to buy all the educational books, practise letters early and make every moment a learning opportunity.

But some of the most powerful foundations for reading are built through something wonderfully simple: singing!

This , here are five ways nursery rhymes help your little one grow:

1. They build phonological awareness
Rhyming songs help your child hear that words are made up of smaller sounds ("cat", "hat", "bat"). This ability to notice and play with sounds is one of the strongest foundations for learning to read!

2. They teach rhythm and syllables
The repeated rhythms in nursery rhymes teach children to break words into syllables (e.g. hap-py, el-e-phant), making complicated words easier to understand and say later.

3. They grow vocabulary
Traditional songs introduce rich, playful words that your child might not hear in everyday conversation.

4. They strengthen memory and sequencing
Repeating verses and actions helps children remember patterns and understand what comes next in a story. So important for reading later!

5. They develop listening and attention
Singing games encourage turn-taking, careful listening and anticipating the next cue. Let’s be honest… these are skills that we are constantly trying to teach our little ones!

And it’s so easy to do.

You can sing in the car. Sing in the bath. Sing at bedtime!

Or come and sing with us at a Lucy Sparkles class. 💖

We've all felt it before… that special feeling of singing together. 🫶

But did you know there's science behind why children (and grown-ups!) love it so much?

Swipe through to discover how singing together supports connection, learning and wellbeing, and why it's such a powerful part of every Lucy Sparkles class. 🎶✨

This was inspired by research from Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University), the University of Vienna, the University of St Andrews and Western Michigan University.

A special thank you to all the organisations that help make fascinating neuroscience research more accessible and inspiring!

This is one of our favourite tools in every Sparkles class.

To a child, a puppet isn't just a toy!
It can be a friend. A storyteller! And a safe way to join the conversation with grownups.

When children chat to puppets, sing with them and help them solve silly problems, they're building confidence, communication and imagination without even realising they're learning.

(Plus it never fails to get a round of giggles). 🤭

Autumn Term begins 1 September.
