We are here to help parents raise happy and healthy children

TOTS N TUNES is a vibrant Community Interest Company (C.I.C.) dedicated to fostering the growth and development of children aged 0-5 in Barking and Dagenham. Our organization focuses on supporting children from diverse socio-economic, ethnic, and ability backgrounds, including those from low-income families and children with additional needs or disabilities. Located in one of the most deprived areas in England, our mission is to provide an inclusive, nurturing environment where every child can thrive.

We offer a range of services designed to enhance early childhood development through interactive and educational activities. Our themed weekly singing and play sessions encourage children to develop language, cognitive, and social skills in a fun and relaxed setting. These sessions also provide parents and caregivers with opportunities to bond with their children and engage with the community.

In addition to our regular sessions, we organize special events aimed at promoting family relationships and community cohesion. Our programs support modern family dynamics, encouraging fathers to participate actively in their children’s early development. We also cater specifically to local dads, providing a space for them to connect, share experiences, and build confidence.

TOTS N TUNES is committed to inclusivity and accessibility, ensuring that all families, regardless of their circumstances, can benefit from our services. We operate several playgroups in collaboration with the Barking and Dagenham Council’s Start for Life program, offering focused learning and activities that support child development and parental engagement.

Led by a founder with over a decade of experience in the voluntary sector and deep community ties, TOTS N TUNES has become a cornerstone for local families seeking personal growth and community connection for their children. We continue to expand our services to meet the growing needs of the community, with a commitment to maintaining the quality and personalized experience that defines our organization.
