Transformative Dance Experiences for Young Learners
Unlock your children’s confidence, creativity and potential with inspiring dance programmes tailored to your nursery or school.
An Engaging Dance Curriculum
Our carefully designed curriculum focuses on developing motor skills, coordination and creativity in a fun and interactive way. We also use a variety of dance styles and themes to keep children excited and motivated. Each session is then tailored to the age group and skill level of your children.
Benefits for Toddlers and Children
Dance is a fantastic way for children to express themselves, so it also helps them build confidence and stay active. Our programmes also promote physical fitness, teamwork and social skills. As a result, children develop important life skills while having a great time.
Flexible Scheduling
We understand the unique needs of nurseries and schools, so we offer flexible options that fit seamlessly into your timetable. Whether you’d prefer weekly sessions, special workshops or seasonal programmes, we’ll provide a consistent and enjoyable dance experience.

Trusted by Local Nurseries
Nursery managers tell us the difference is clear from the very first sessions. Here’s what they have noticed in their children.
“Focus, numeracy and so much delightful social engagement”
“Amy runs wonderful dance sessions for the children at Westlands Nursery. They not only get physical movement from her lessons but focus, following instructions, colour recognition, numeracy and so much delightful social engagement. I cannot recommend Magical Tots enough.”
“Exactly what we’ve been looking for”
“With a current cohort that includes a high number of children with SEND, as well as several presenting with low self-esteem and PSED challenges, I’ve been actively seeking fully inclusive activities that align with the EYFS framework. Until now, I hadn’t found the right fit – but I can confidently say that Magical Tots offers exactly what we’ve been looking for. The songs, movement, and activities are not only curriculum-friendly, but also bring real joy to the children. Our children are fully engaged, and it is clear they have a wonderful time – they even chat about it enthusiastically over snack time!”
“A remarkable impact after just two sessions”
“We can’t recommend Magical Tots highly enough. After just two sessions, we’ve already seen a remarkable impact – our children are more confident, expressive and engaged through dance, music and movement. They light up when they hear ‘Miss Roisin’ is coming! Her energy, passion and genuine care shine in every session, which is thoughtfully designed to be inclusive, joyful and developmentally supportive. We’ve especially noticed a boost in self-esteem and participation – benefits that extend across all areas of learning. Magical Tots is a wonderful addition to any nursery’s provision.”
