Making a Difference
Boogie Mites Community Projects CIC has been set up to work with settings and families who would not otherwise be able to access our music making workshops, training and resources. We do this via grant funded projects, local authority funded contracts and we support educators to set up and run Boogie Mites for the benefit of their local community in other areas of the UK.
Boogie Mites music and movement programmes have been developed over 25 years of projects delivered in the state and private sector, our songs, music activities and workshops have been informed by neuroscience evidence and input from teachers, parents and children’s who we have worked with over that time. We always collect feedback from customers to ensure continuing development of practice, and regularly have independent evaluation of impact of our projects carried out.
Funded Projects Impact
At Boogie Mites Community Projects CIC, we are committed to providing access to high-quality music-making workshops, training, and resources for settings and families who might not otherwise have the opportunity. Through grant-funded projects, local authority-funded contracts, and educator-led initiatives, we work to ensure that children, parents, and educators benefit from the proven developmental impact of our music and movement programmes.
To uphold our commitment to continuous improvement and to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, we systematically collect feedback and engage in independent evaluations of our projects. These evaluations help us refine our programmes and validate the positive outcomes for children’s learning, teacher confidence, and parent engagement.
This section highlights the impact of our funded projects, showcasing the measurable benefits and the ongoing development of our programmes. From the Lanyado Fund-supported evaluations of our School Ready Music Programme in London schools to our recent initiatives in Portsmouth supporting early years development and inclusion, each project has provided valuable insights into the transformative power of music.
We invite you to explore the findings of these evaluations, which illustrate how Boogie Mites continues to empower educators, engage families, and enhance children’s developmental journeys through music.
Impact In Schools
Boogie Mites’ School Ready Music Programme has been implemented in schools, supporting early language, literacy, and social development in areas of high deprivation. Find out about funded projects where we provided staff training, classroom workshops, and follow-up evaluations. The programme helped the EYFS teams embed active music-making into daily practice to close the attainment gap and support school readiness.Impact In Nurseries
Boogie Mites’ Music Programmes have been successfully embedded in nursery settings, supporting communication, language, and literacy development. Discover how we worked with some of our nurseries to deliver training, resources, and implementation plans that helped staff gain confidence in leading music across daily routines. These projects demonstrate the positive impact on both children’s learning and practitioner practice.
