Family Hubs Case Study
Boogie Mites trained the Bermondsey and Rotherhithe Locality Family Hubs team through an onsite launch in 2022. Since then, the team has dedicated time to refining their delivery of Boogie Mites music and movement sessions, also supporting new staff via our online platform. Sessions have been delivered across family groups, nurseries, and schools.
Located in Southwark, an area of high deprivation with many EAL families, some children initially struggled with focus and following instructions. However, with consistency and patience, significant progress was observed. Sessions brought joy and excitement, boosting children’s confidence, engagement, and enthusiastic participation by the programme’s end.
Under 3's Thrive Through Music
This project was designed to engage parents attending Stay and Play sessions at Family Hubs in Portsmouth in group music making sessions. Explaining to parents the benefits of developing rhythmic and melodic awareness to strengthen children’s foundations for language and literacy, wellbeing and social skills.
We also encouraged parents to practice music activities with their children at home, and to use the Boogie Mites Under 3’s App to strengthen the benefits of repeating the same music activities at home as they were experiencing in the group.
The feedback showed that the parents enjoyed the sessions and that the parents, as well as the children, gained skills from taking part in the workshops.
