Twistin Tots

Music, movement & fun for kids!

Established in 2006, Twistin Tots runs Derbyshire-based music and movement classes for toddlers, babies and pre-schoolers (aged 0-5).

We are Not-for-Profit so all the money we make goes straight back into the business to keep classes running.

We introduce the concepts of socialisation, co-operation and communication to very young children through music and movement. Our baby classes (Twistin Tinies Adventures) offer innovative musical sensory and baby development activities, and baby signing to children aged 0-18 months (non-walkers) and their grown ups.

Classes include a fun mix of rhymes, songs actions and props through exciting themes to educate children, keep them entertained and help them to meet EYFS key requirements.

We run Twistin Tots classes in 3 locations: Belper, Darley Abbey and Matlock; and Twistin Tinies Adventures in Belper on 2 different days.

We hold Gold Accreditation (the highest level) with the Children's Activities Association (CAA). And the highest Award from the Institute of Children's Activity Professionals (ICAP) - their 3 Gold Kites Award. To attain these, all of our procedures, policies and classes have been independently and professionally assessed and found to be of a very high standard - so you can be assured that your children are receiving the very best instruction by attending one of our classes or parties.

For the past 7 years, both of our classes and our amazing Owner / Founder, Jacqui Davis, have reached the Finals of the What's on 4 Kids Awards and last year and this year have been nominated in numerous categories of the local Lots for Tots Awards.
