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!

MOVE is a national charity working with severely disabled children in a Programme designed to increase their mobility and therefore their independence.

MOVE combines therapy and education in a programme which helps children work towards goals that they really want to achieve, which can range from learning to hold their head up by themselves to learning the skills needed to play football with their friends using a pacer. MOVE is unique in that no child is too disabled to use it and works with the child’s parents, teachers and therapists to teach them skills which are then practised in everyday life, enabling parents to be involved in key decision making and instrumental in their child’s development.

Visit our website or call us on 020 7407 5344 to find out more information, speak to a specialist or a parent of a child already on the programme or to visit a school using MOVE.

Extra-Curricular Classes - In Schools

Our clubs are hands-on, fun, and educational, giving children the chance to develop cooking skills, confidence, and independence in a supportive setting.

With a catalogue of four years’ worth of recipes, children make something new every week - switching between savoury and sweet dishes - while mastering essential kitchen skills like weighing, chopping, creaming, and kneading.

What’s included for the children:
A recipe prepared each session
All ingredients provided, including dietary substitutions (gluten-free, dairy-free, etc.)
Aprons to borrow
Laminated recipe card with a healthy message
Packaging to take their creations home

“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

School Holiday Workshops

Are you looking for a fun and educational activity for your child during the holidays? Look no further! Our holiday workshops are designed to inspire young cooks while having fun in the kitchen.

Guided by our friendly and experienced Smart Raspberry cookery teachers, children will gain valuable skills in food preparation, cooking techniques, kitchen safety and of course presenting their dishes nicely. Our workshops are often themed recipes from a particular country, season, festival or occasion and are age appropriate. We have regular breaks throughout the day and offer additional activities such as colouring in, foodie quizzes and games especially for the younger age groups. At the end of the day, everyone can take their creations home to impress friends and family with their new found skills

“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

Sadly, meningitis and meningococcal septicaemia continue to kill more children under five than any other infectious disease and there is still no vaccine to protect against the most common forms. Therefore, it is vital to raise awareness of the symptoms and the importance of early recognition so prompt treatment can be given, which can often mean the difference between life and death.

Meningitis UK aims to increase the understanding of the disease through our ongoing awareness programme. We also fund a number of pioneering vaccine development research projects across the UK to find a vaccine to eradicate the disease. If you require any further information about meningitis or the work that we do, please do not hesitate to contact us.
