What to expect
The Music Nest is a pilot programme for children aged 2–4, offering a warm and welcoming environment where each child’s individual strengths and challenges are nurtured. Through engaging, music-based activities, children and their families can connect, grow, and build confidence together.
Each session includes interactive, tailored music-making led by an experienced music therapist with expertise in child development, musicianship, and psychology. Sessions are kept intentionally small (3–5 children) to ensure individual attention and support.
Families also enjoy relaxed social time to play, chat and share experiences. In addition to exploring music and games that can be continued at home, the sessions aim to support early communication, social interaction, and emotional wellbeing.
Parents or carers of the child are encouraged to join in. Other adults are welcome as long as the number of adults to children does not become overwhelming for the children.
Each session lasts up to 45 minutes with some optional time for chat at the end.
More information
Families will be asked to fill in a short background form to enable the group to best meet the needs of the participants. The pilot will run for two terms starting in January 2026 at Cambridgeshire Music in Histon, with plans to expand if successful.
