Welcome to Tuneful Toddlers!
Music and Storytelling sessions in London run by professional musicians and passionate educators. During sessions, we explore stories, songs, instruments and musical elements.
ABOUT US
Tuneful Toddlers was born a very long time ago, when a mum in South Wales began writing songs to sing to her children. This mum always dreamt of running her own music classes for little ones, but now her daughter has taken Tuneful Toddlers off the ground.
Tuneful Toddlers uses a different children’s book and a set of songs each week to discover the main elements of music through singing, listening, and musical instrument play. No two sessions are ever the same, but the structure (and songs) will become familiar the more you come!
The Tuneful Toddlers method has been thought created using research and understanding in Early Years Education.

ABOUT THE TEAM
MEET ALYS!
Alys is the founder and creator of Tuneful Toddlers and she is so excited to be bringing the classes to you. Originally from South Wales, Alys grew up in a very musical family and that led her on to studying Music at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, and then moving to London to pursue her career.
As a performer and French Horn player, Alys regularly works in theatres and orchestras and some credits include Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (UK and Ireland Tour), A Christmas Carol (Dominion), Thursford Christmas Spectacular, among other concerts, shows and deputy work.
In 2022, Alys graduated from University College London with a Distinction in her Masters in Music Education, where she specialised in Early Years and SEND work. Alys is continually researching the best ways to encourage music education in the Early Years Foundation Stage and is so excited to be putting it to practice at Tuneful Toddlers.
Watch an example of Alys at work here!
Tuneful Toddlers has a small but mighty team at the moment, but we hope to grow, and as we do, we will be looking for new musicians and educators to join us!

FAQs
What can I expect in a Tuneful Toddlers class?
A story, lots of singing, musical instruments, smiles, and a lot of fun!
How do I book in to a class?
You can book through our Bookaby link here:
Can I bring my baby and toddler to the same class?
If you have two children across the different age classes, you are more than welcome to bring them to the same one. We usually recommend you bring the baby to the toddler class, so the toddler is able to interact as much as they like.
How many children are in a session?
We limit all classes to the maximum of 20 children per class.
Will you bring classes to my area?
YES! We are always looking to expand, and if you’re interested in a class nearer you, please contact us here!
Can I get a refund once I’ve booked?
Once you’ve booked onto a class, you can’t get a refund unless we cancel a session. You can move it to another session though!
Can I use my phone in the class?
We’d prefer it if you only use your phones to take photos of your child (please don’t get any others in shot). Children get much more out of a class if an adult is joining in too!
Do adults come free?
Yes - adults don’t need to pay to come!
What is your photography policy?
We will always ask permission if we have photos taken of the sessions for our promotional purposes. If you agree to having photos/videos taken, we always ensure that they don’t get published with a name attached. This is in line with the NSPCC Policy If you are taking photos of your child, please only get your child in shot, and if another child is in shot, please do not publicise this without consent.
