They will be on Friday 6th August and Wednesday 25th August.

The last 12 months has seen Mini Maestros stopping, starting up again and then stopping a good few times.
But I’m very excited to announce that from Monday 19th April it will be BUSINESS AS USUAL and this time I am feeling hopeful that my music sessions will be here to stay! 😊
So, whether you’re a seasoned regular or completely new to Mini Maestros and would like to try it out, do get in touch.
My mobile number is 07816120460 and I look forward to seeing you all and making music fun again!

Mini Maestros will be starting up again (again!) after this 2nd lockdown. So as from Monday 7th December it will be ‘Business As Usual’ ...just in time for a couple of weeks of festive songs and musical games!

So, once again, we’ve had to pack away the maracas, tambourines and teddies for another lockdown break. 😢 I’m very grateful though, for your loyalty and encouragement which have given us five weeks of musical fun!
I will be in touch as soon I know when we can start back up.
In the meantime here’s something which reminds me why I love my job so much! 🥰

At last!! Mini Maestros sessions are able to recommence after a six month gap.
I am VERY happy to be able to say that it’s (almost) ‘business as usual’ starting from tomorrow, the 28th September.
Sessions will be at St. Boniface Church hall, as they have always been, but in the large hall rather than the smaller room to ensure we can socially distance.
The first session for under 2 and a half years starts at 9.30 a.m. and the second session, for older Pre-school a children, is at the slightly altered time of 10.30 a.m.
Lots of measures have been put in to place to keep everyone safe and class sizes have been reduced to allow for social distancing.
You can contact me via Facebook or on my mobile phone 07816120460 should you have any questions.
I really look forward to seeing you and your little ones for more musical fun!

Mini Maestros Mini Maestros is a music group for children aged 6 months to 4 years in Shirley, Southampton.

Due to the situation with Coronavirus I am very sad to have to let you know that Mini Maestros sessions will not be taking place for a while. Stay safe and healthy everyone. I look forward to lots more musical fun with you all when the time is right. ❤️

It’s not everyday that you have your logo made in to cup cake decorations! Thank you Antonia Cramb for such a kind and creative end of year gesture. This logo was designed 16 years ago by my then 11 year old niece and it’s still going strong!

Quick reminder that tomorrow is picnic morning for those children who come to the second session at 10.45. Bring a blanket to sit on too!

If you have a little one under 5 years and fancy coming along to the St James’ Park Festival today, I will be running 2 free music sessions at 12 noon and 1 pm. All our welcome....it will be lovely to see new faces and familiar faces for some musical fun!

This coming Saturday, 19th January is ‘DAD’S MORNING’. We’re calling it Dad’s morning but of course anyone can bring their little one along who doesn’t get a chance to usually in the week because of work commitments.
There will be a session at 10 a.m. for under 2 and half year olds and another session at 11 a.m. for over 2 and a half year olds. The session will cost £4. Tea and coffee will be served as usual! 🤗
There are currently a few spaces left in each session. Faces old and new would be most welcome!

I'm really looking forwards to the new term starting on Monday 11th and Wednesday 13th September.

It'll be great to see new faces and familiar faces and to hear everyone's news.

Hoping to see lots of people at St James' Park at the International Family Day. Music sessions will be at 11.00 and 1.30 in the grass near to the back of the park. We won't be in a marquee ...we will be near the Hampshire Police stand and quite near the porta loos!!

Just a reminder that there will be an opportunity for anyone to join us for a free Mini Maestros session at St. James Park this Sunday, 16th July. There are lots of things going on in the park as part of the 'International Family Day' .....music and dance performances, sports activities, face-painting, story corner and of course music sessions for little ones!
My sessions are going to take place in the 'Sports Marquee' at 11.00 a.m. and 1.30 p.m.. The marquee will be situated at the far end of the park nearest to Wi******er Road and furthest from the park café. Hope to see lots of familiar faces as well as new faces there!

Looking forward to the new term starting on Monday 5th September. As it's an INSET day at lots of local schools those who have school aged children are very welcome to bring them along too for the first session. See you very soon!

Hi all. Just to remind you that there will be no Mini Maestros now for a couple of weeks due to work being carried out on the main drains at St. Boniface and also school Christmas performances. Our last sessions will be our Christmas specials on Monday 14th and Wednseday 16th December.

The new term at Mini Maestros will be starting on Monday 7th or Wednesday 9th September. Have a great summer everyone!
