Hello! I’m Lizzie, and I run Boogie Mites in West Berkshire and South Oxfordshire alongside my fab colleague Cheryl.
I offer early years music and movement sessions for nurseries and parent groups at community venues.
I’m a mum, and a musician, and I am absolutely passionate about enabling as many young children as possible to participate in fun, engaging music-making, that supports their development. I’ve seen first-hand how powerful music can be in giving children space to be curious and creative, and love seeing how the children we work with develop their skills, confidence and self-expression.
Cheryl also has a family, and is a qualified teacher with over 20 years’ experience. As a teacher, she always loved leading music with the children, and so decided to join the Boogie Mites team so she could do more of this!
We work with nurseries and preschools, delivering regular weekly sessions for the children, or supporting practitioners with the training & resources to weave more music-making into the daily routines of their setting. You can also find us out in the community, leading sessions for families in our local area.
Whatever we’re doing, we are committed to enabling practitioners, parents and carers with confidence and ideas for making music as part of their everyday life with the children in their care. We pride ourselves on creating a happy, supportive and relaxed environment during our sessions, so that everyone taking part feels free to unleash their creativity and express their own, unique personality.
We love that our groups have a real sense of community – making music really does bring people together!
Cheryl and I would love to welcome you along to our sessions, or to bring Boogie Mites to your setting – please do contact me if there’s anything you’d like to ask.

A gentle music class where you can meet new friends and enjoy sharing music fun with your baby.
Our Baby Boogie music pack will help you get the most from your classes so that you can use music at home to support your baby’s development, make your everyday routines more fun and boost your mood on those tired days.
Now that your baby has started to move, the action songs and nursery rhymes in the Boogie Teenies class will stimulate body awareness, developing fine and gross motor skills. With shakers, tapping sticks and drums your little one will be having fun and developing language skills.
Our Boogie Teenies music pack will help your baby get the most from your classes so that you can practice at home and learn all your favourite songs.
With lots of action songs and percussion play, these classes are perfect for developing your child’s physical confidence and fitness. Colourful props and uptempo songs will keep your child engaged and help develop those all-important social and communication skills.
Our Boogie Minis CD pack will help you and your child learn all your favourite songs and get the most from your classes.
With fun drumming games and tapping songs, these classes help your child to develop the literacy and numeracy skills that provide the foundation for learning at school. But don’t worry – this doesn’t feel like school. Covering exciting themes like In The Jungle and By The Sea, your child will be having so much fun that she won’t realise how much she is learning!
Our Mities programme music packs contain songs and interactive videos from the Mities themes, so that you can continue the music fun at home and share with all the family.
Boogie Mites is great! I've been taking my daughter since she was only a few months old. Lizzie is absolutely lovely, too. It's definitely a worthwhile experience, and contributes towards an infant's development.
We have been coming to Boogie Mites for the last 9 months (we started when my son was about 4months) and love it! Lizzie is incredible and the sessions are so much fun and engaging for the little ones. It is definitely one of the highlights of Henry’s week, and so special to see how much he enjoys it and his bond with Lizzie!
We absolutely love this group! Cheryl never ceases to make sessions fun, energetic and exciting. Since we joined, he has become more and more confident and his love for music has blossomed. 10/10
My 8 month old absolutely loved it - Cheryl was so engaging and really good with children. Great songs, lots of props and fun things for the babies to play with, lovely warm clean hall and relaxed atmosphere - we'll definitely be back!
