You can't go wrong with Jo jingles, read the testimonials to see....and join us for lots of fun!!!!!!
Jo Jingles classes are a fantastic, fun and educational way to introduce children to music. Classes are structured but the emphasis is on having fun, children learn quicker this way.

We use percussion instruments and sing songs using various props; we also have a music and movement section. Parents/carers are encouraged to sit with their child and join in, this encourages confidence and enthusiasm. Music helps a child in every aspect of their development from language and numeracy to developing good social skills. The programmes are designed to be specific to each individual age group and are fast moving to stop children becoming bored.

I only take a maximum of 15 children within each class, therefore making it a bit more personal.
A BIT ABOUT ME AND JO JINGLES!

I am a mother of four young children, as you can imagine life is very hectic in our house!
I am a qualified N.N.E.B nursery nurse and have worked in various nursery establishments and also as a private nanny. I feel every child should have access to music at an early age. I wanted to bring this opportunity into the community in which I live.
I Love music and play a variety of instruments. I am a committed Christian and regularly attend The Salvation Army in Bexleyheath where music is a very important part of our worship.

Class teachers.


Inez has been with me for over a year now and appears to love every minute of her job. She has three children and lives in Higham. Inez works for Maidstone Franchisee Jo Gilbey as well, so has a very large customer base that she teaches every week (and makes a fabulous job of it!!!). She is full of energy and her classes are great.


Paula has taken over from Charlotte who left to have a baby. Paula is married with 2 children and has been working as a classroom assistant.

What our customers say

Here is an example of an e-mail from one of our mums (reproduced here with her permission):

Rita, Jason, Rhone, Hollie & Destiny - Dartford Classes

My son has attended his first half term at Jo Jingles.

Being 2 and 5 months behind in his development, I needed some help, when he was born I had a spinal disability, and could not interact with my child or play with him. I was also an older mum with a 22 month old granddaughter as well.

I contacted Gill and she told me about Inez's class in Dartford. since taking them both there with the help of my daughter, Rhone my son, has come out of his self. he has learnt to recognise animal's and the sounds that go with them, every time he sees the Jo Jingles logo he starts singing the Cockadoodledoo song and does the actions.

I couldn't join in and had to sit on the side, I felt embarrassed at first but Inez made me feel so welcome and was so understanding.

I encouraged my partner, Rhone's dad, to come along, he felt a bit reluctant because he was a man, but again Inez didn't treat him any different and he loves spending time, with his son. Being our full time carer, it helped him as well.

Rhone loves singing and dancing and the classes are so good for him to express himself. Gill didn't mind me putting him in the younger class to improve his ability and I'm sure it won’t be long till he moves up a class.

We haven't a lot of money but we scraped together some to put him in the next term’s class it is definitely worth every penny. I have told everyone about the classes and have given leaflets to the pre-schools and friends and family.

I just want to say thank-you Gill, Inez and Jo Jingles!

Diane & Isabelle - Bexley Classes
