Nanny? Childminder? Let's make music your care advantage
I help professional carers do more music. Why?
Music has been part of early years practice since the early 1900s — yet for most professional carers, nannies and childminders today, it's still confusing, outdated, and disconnected from what we now know about how babies and young children actually learn.
Nursery rhymes at circle time are lovely, but they rarely draw on the real, research-backed methods developed by the masters of early childhood learning: Maria Montessori, Edwin Gordon, Émile Jaques-Dalcroze, Zoltán Kodály and Carl Orff.
We know that professional carers are under pressure to deliver a quality of care that exceeds modern parent's expectations. That's why adopting music can be a game changer. I simplify early years music into a blended play based process called: Music in the Moment approach- no planning involved, just a mind set.
I help you to get confident in delivering 15 minutes of daily focused music activity, with the children in your care, from birth to age 5. Making them calmer, focused, happy and your work much easier.

Music matters from birth to 5
The under-5 brain is in its most rapid growth phase. In fact, we make more neurological (mind) and vestibular (body) connections in the first 18 months of our lives than in our whole lives.
Language and vocabulary through song contours and rhyme.
Motor coordination via rhythm and movement.
Confidence and self-regulation from turn-taking and expression.
Early maths via pulse, metre, and sequence.
Childminders, nannies and professional carers understand that this foundational work has the greatest impact before their children reach formal school.
So don't wait. Adopt music in your care.

Care with Music
We simplify, not overwhelm
Music in the Moment breaks early years music into short, focused 15-minute sessions, anywhere, anytime, with no music room, instruments or lesson plan needed.
We bring you the masters, made simple
Our stepped, logical approach blends the best of Montessori, Edwin Gordon, Dalcroze, Kodály and Orff, translated into activities any parent or carer can lead confidently, no music background required.
We build on 20+ years of experience
A research-informed method designed for how a young child's brain, body and heart actually learn, proven at home, in the garden and outdoors.
"Maria Montessori knew that we make the biggest and most lasting impact from birth to age 5. That's our mission with Music".

Music is an essential tool from birth to age 5
Your care will become invaluable
Drawing on 60+ years of research (from Edwin Gordon’s Audiation to modern neuroimaging), we integrate Montessori's pedagogy, and Dalcroze, Kodály and Orff, musical methods, to help you shape their development with music.

Accelerated Brain Development
Music speeds up auditory and language processing, boosting reading and speech.
Cognitive & Literacy Growth
Rhythm and synchrony enhance maths, pattern recognition, and pre‑reading skills.
Motor Skills & Coordination
Clapping, drumming, and instrumental play build fine motor control and writing readiness.
Mental Wellbeing & Emotional Growth
Group singing supports confidence, emotional healing, and self‑expression.
Social Connection & Belonging
Singing together fosters empathy, teamwork, and inclusion — vital for neurodivergent children.
Supporting Nannies and Childminders
Music should be a core tool in your day to day activities with babies all the way to 4 year olds. I can show you the transformative power of Music, making your day flow easier and the children happier.
Music through play is the best way for you to stimulate Audiation, physical expression, spatial awareness, cognitive development, and emotional connection — building strong foundations from the very first years.
Parents will love you for adopting music in your day to day care. Train with me and get full support in a community like minded carers.

Our music CPD sessions are designed for three key early-years stages in mixed groups:
Birth to 18 months
18 months to 2 years
3 to 5 years
Sessions available Online and Remotely
Our Why
We see how current provision is confusing and outdated, so we exist to infuse early years with pioneering and research-informed music learning and teaching. Too many professional carers tell us they lack the knowledge to do this confidently.
So they don't.
We are here to change that.
Advancing EY outcomes with Music
Our Mission
To support nannies, childminders and professional carers in the modern way of music learning for under 5 year olds.
Designing more ways for yound carers to deliver the best music experiences even if they have never done music or consider themselves non musical.
The INSET and community music learning experience
Our Vision
That every professional carer feels empowered to deliver confident, early years music activities that support whole-child development from birth to 5 years, and beyond. We want to develop a community of independent educators who integrate music as an essential part of their learning tool kit.
