Training Together!
Cluster training allows local settings to get together to share the cost of an in-person, three hour training workshop covering any of our music programmes. This motivating and energising training is a great opportunity to network with your local peers and gives participants the confidence to take the lead when they return to their setting, sharing what they have learned and implementing exciting new music activities. Cluster training can also be funded by a local authority.

Northumberland County Council gets school ready!
Northumberland Early Years Advisory team wanted to support settings with developing children’s pre-phonics skills. Boogie Mites were asked to lead cluster training around our School Ready Programme with participating settings funding training with their EYPP budget. Of the 50 practitioners attending, 95% felt that they had gained a better understanding of how music supports Letters and Sounds Phase 1, more than 90% felt confident to deliver the programme in their settings and 100% felt that the training had been valuable.

Testimonials
The training day really opened our eyes to how exciting and fun it can be for the children to learn letter sounds, rhythm and rhyme, improving speech and gaining more confidence as part of a group activity. I'm so glad we were able to have this opportunity to attend the training day.
The very next day after my first session of Boogie Mites, I was teaching staff and children the songs we had covered. The children loved '5 Little Fish' and learnt it within a couple of sessions. It captures their imagination and holds their attention for more than any other song we have played.
