Here's what 4 of our mums have to say:

Lyn with Barney

Taking my youngest son to Ali's group has been a wonderful experience for us both! We have thoroughly enjoyed the opportunities that Ali has provided for us to sing and dance together - Barnaby (aged 1) loves to bounce along and always spends the whole session smiling! Ali creates a friendly atmosphere and always provides purposeful, fun activities. We are very much looking forward to joining her again soon!

Jill with Avery

'Avery just loves to move and groove to all the music Ali provides. Ali played her cello last week and it made Avery stand to attention - believe me, a rare event at the moment!! Ali really cares for our children and her years of music training and early years knowledge clearly show in her brilliant classes'.

Lauren with Noah

'Both my son (12 weeks old) and I have loved the sessions. The activities get all of his senses tingling and the best thing for me is that afterwards he has a restful nap in his pram while I enjoy a chat and piece of chocolate cake with the other mums!'

Sam with Zara

Just thought I'd recommend The Ali Pally School of music to anybody wanting to introduce music to their babies life. The other day my daughter surprised me with a dance routine of forward and backward steps not too unlike something we'd done at one of her classes! She is now 19 months and loves it!
