FAQs
What do you mean? Have you not seen our video yet?
Our resident pianist and ever changing cast of orchestral musicians will educate and enchant you both ‘circle style’ with a carefully curated mix of Classical Music, nursery favourites, props and games.You’ll leave having had a great time, having met some other parents & carers with babies the same age as yours, and knowing you’ve done something wonderful to stimulate your little one’s development.
Yes, we offer this at all our venues unless the class is fully booked – look here for up-to-date availability.
As a guide, the cusp between the Babies & Toddlers class starts about 15 months. The toddlers class is for confident walkers, but we leave it to you who knows your child best to choose which class will suit them best.
The Babies & Toddlers Together classes are suitable for all children aged 0-4 years (not just siblings). The teacher adapts the class pending the age of the children attending, so everyone can join in the musical fun!
Sorry, no. Our baby classes are specifically aimed at babies, where they can be safely laid on the ground to calmly experience the music without being stomped on by marauding toddlers! (The baby classes are for ages 0- 15 months or until a child is confidently toddling.)
The Toddlers class is for children ages 16 months – 4 years who are confidently toddling. Babes in arms (under 6 months) can come along with their older sibling. Once they’re sitting up, some venues have a mixed baby and toddler class that you may wish to move to, but if not, book both children into the Toddlers class.
It’s not really. The teacher is aware that whilst the babies enjoy the class with their adults, they need to entertain the older siblings too. They will of course circulate as normal so that the younger children can also enjoy the instruments.
This depends on the size of the venue, usually up to around 16 or so.
As a general rule, we ask that each child be accompanied by only one adult. However, if you have a visiting relative or grandparent keen to experience Mini Mozart, then please email [email protected] to check that there is space to accommodate them.
Because we’re worth it! Other classes don’t have the same quality or quantity of musicians. We have a piano accompanist AND an orchestral musician leading the class AND occasional visiting ensemble musicians. The good news is that once you join us, we promise not to raise your fees – your price will be locked in even if it’s raised for new-joiners.
Flowers and fine wine help. Just kidding! 
If the class you want is fully booked, you’ll see the option to join the waitlist. Click on it and you will automatically be contacted as soon as a place becomes available. Put us in your safe senders list though, because once you’ve received the email, you’ll be taken off the list.
Our monthly subscription (which will auto-renew on the same date each month) spreads the fees out evenly so there’s no big payment up front. You can join and cancel anytime.
Where possible we run classes through school half term breaks, and during longer school holidays we present an exciting mix of live online and pre-recorded on-demand classes. In addition, we curate a series of bookable online private sessions with experts including sleep trainers, super nannies, nutritionists, return to work consultants, family lawyers, weaning advisers and paediatric first-aid teachers.
You are in sole control of your account so if you don’t want to do the online classes/activities over the holidays, simply cancel your subscription (which you can do via your My Account page). Please be aware though that your price is locked in for the entirety of your subscription, so if you cancel then re-join, it will be at the new price if there’s been a raise.
We’ll send you a reminder email before each auto-renewing monthly payment is taken; just make sure that you’re opted in to receiving communications from us.
Yes. Email [email protected] in advance to say that you’ll be away and request which class you’d like to attend instead. Alternatively, gift your place to a friend – just let us know the name and email address of your friend and their little one. Make-up or gifted classes need to be taken within the term you missed your original class.
Yes. You get 50% off your additional children (siblings only). Please email [email protected] to get the code to use when booking your two (or more) children’s places.
Yes. Mini Mozart offer families who receive Universal Credit or similar an 80% discount. If you don’t fall into that bracket but believe that your circumstances might qualify you for a discount, please either email [email protected] or call us to discuss on 0207 193 1983.
We’re careful to cap numbers so booking is available up to 4 weeks in advance (depending on availability!)
The auto-renewing monthly membership fees start when you do and continue until you cancel which you can do at any time. You are responsible for cancelling your own subscription via your My Account. If you add us to your safe senders list and make sure that you’re opted in to receive communications from us a link to your account is included in every payment renewal notification and receipt you receive.
Sorry, no. We’ve made the membership as flexible as possible, but we couldn’t find a membership system that would facilitate refunding partial months (no other subscription system does it) and the idea of doing it manually makes us want to curl up in the corner and whimper! You will have access to all your membership benefits until the end of your membership month, whenever you cancel.
No. Our monthly subscription spreads the fees evenly rather than asking for a big up-front payment and continues until you cancel.

You are in sole control of your account so if you don’t want to do the online classes/activities over the holidays, simply cancel your subscription (which you can do via your My Account page). Please be aware that we can’t guarantee you’ll be able to get your place back once you’ve cancelled as we operate a first come, first served policy.
Sorry no, not unless we cancel the class. We’ve made the membership system as flexible as possible so that you only have to commit a month at a time, and we send you a reminder in advance of each subscription renewal.
The difference in location prices is down to varying venue, storage and piano hire costs.
Our in-person classes run during school term time.
Please note classes do not take place on bank holidays. Any changes to this policy are listed within each individual class description or will be emailed to the relevant subscribers.
Monday 2nd September until Friday 20th December inclusive, except for Half Term (28th October – 1st November incl.)
Our pandemic anxieties are behind us now and we can return to being sensible about illness. We recommend that children who are feeling poorly don’t attend the class. Not only might they spread germs, but they won’t enjoy it as much. And remember there’s no FOMO – let us know in advance that you won’t be coming and we’ll book you in for a make-up class.
Nothing is essential though a top tip from Mini Mozart pros is to bring a blanket for your little one to sit on to make it as cosy for them as possible.
The children get so much more out of class if their adults join in, so please, only use phones to take occasional photos and please make sure no other children are in shot.
Sorry, no. To keep our venues clean and allergy friendly, please don’t bring food into class.
Our Photo / Video Policy
Mini Mozart is in agreement with the NSPCC who say that “It’s important that children feel happy with their achievements and have photographs and films of their special moments. Family and friends also want to be able to share the successes of their children when they have been part of a special event or activity.” We occasionally take photographs at class for you to purchase and for publicity purposes. In accordance with the NSPCC guidelines, we never publish a photo of a child with their name or any other piece of information that could later be used to identify them.
If you DO NOT want us to photograph your child, you may opt out by clicking here or by emailing [email protected].
If you take photos of your child during class, check with other parents/carers first if their children are in view.
