What is Songs & Smiles?

Songs & Smiles is a joyful weekly group that brings together 0–4 year olds, their parents or guardians, and older people living in care homes for a special dose of music, movement and connection.

Led by a friendly session leader, each 1-hour session is packed with music, familiar songs, instruments, bubbles, dancing and smiles all round. There’s no pressure to perform, just come as you are and enjoy a warm, welcoming space for all generations to share.

Why it matters

It’s heartwarming. It’s free. It’s connecting communities.

For little ones, it’s a fun and stimulating way to engage with music and new faces.

The woman is holding the boy on her hip, and they are engaging with the man in conversation. The woman has dark hair tied back, and the boy has curly hair and is dressed in a light blue shirt. Other people and objects are visible in the background.

For parents and guardians, it’s a chance to bond with your child, meet others and feel part of a community.

For older residents, it’s an uplifting, meaningful experience that brings energy, companionship and a sense of purpose.
