"When I started this journey three years ago, I hoped to build something special for families in our local

community, so to see how far we’ve come means so much.

“More than 300 families now join us every week, and that’s what makes this so special.

"I’m so grateful to every family who comes along to our classes, recommends us to others and has become part of our Rhythm Time community. We wouldn’t be where we are today withoutthem.”

Anneka runs classes six days a week across Coventry, Rugby and West Northamptonshire, welcoming babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers to multi-sensory music sessions.

Through instruments, singing and sensory play, the classes aim to support children’s development while giving little ones and their grown-ups the opportunity to have fun together.

The awards mark a special year for the business, with Anneka also receiving the Growth Award at the annual Rhythm Time conference and being placed in the Top 100 Activity Providers at The Club Hub Awards.

As Rhythm Time Coventry, Rugby & West Northants looks ahead to its next chapter, Anneka remains focused on supporting local families and continuing to create joyful musical experiences for young children.
