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!
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.
- You’ll guaranteed your place in the class
- It’s cheaper than buying weekly tasters
- We offer make-up classes / give your space to a friend and their little one if you can’t make it for any reason
- Regular repetition is the best way for your little ones to learn
- You’re more likely to come if you’ve already paid for it and it gives you the perfect excuse to get out of the house even on the most miserable of English mornings (and we promise you and your little one will both feel much better afterwards!)
- Your child will regularly be working on their musical, social, language, maths and reasoning skills helping them become nursery/school ready
- The musicians are amazing and it’s loads and loads of FUN! 🙂
Our Carnet Tiers can be found here.
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]
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.
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.
Mini Mozart’s Photo and Video Policy
We want families to be able to capture the occasional special moment while ensuring that everyone feels comfortable, included and able to enjoy the class.
Photos and videos taken by families
You may take an occasional, quick photo or short video of your own child during class. Please:
- make sure no other children are visible or identifiable;
- keep photographs and recordings brief and put your phone away immediately afterwards;
- remain in your place rather than moving around the room to get a better angle;
- never livestream or record a substantial part of the class; and
- never share an image or recording containing another child, whether on social media or privately, without that family’s express permission.
If another child is accidentally captured, please delete the image or crop them out completely before keeping or sharing it.
Some families have important reasons for ensuring their child is not photographed. Even briefly pointing a phone towards them can cause worry, so please take particular care with who is behind and around your child.
Children benefit most when their grown-ups are joining in, so phones should otherwise remain put away.
These rules also apply to childminders, nannies and other childcare professionals. You may photograph a child in your care where you have the appropriate permission, but no other children should appear in the image.
If you are concerned about photography during a class, please speak privately to the teacher or contact [email protected].
Photography by Mini Mozart
From time to time, Mini Mozart may arrange photography or filming for our website, social media or other publicity.
We will let families know in advance and will only photograph or film children where the appropriate permission has been given.
We do not publish a child’s name or other personal information alongside their image. Images taken for Mini Mozart may only be captured by an authorised person and will be selected, stored and used in accordance with our data-protection procedures.
We follow the NSPCC’s guidance on photographing and filming children.
Mini Mozart photographs and videos are stored, retained and deleted in accordance with our Data Protection Policy. That policy also explains how you can withdraw permission for future use.
