The What’s On 4 Kids Awards 2025 was a sparkling celebration of the very best in the children’s activities sector, and tiny toes ballet was delighted to be part of such an inspiring evening.
The What's On 4 Kids Awards 2025 were held at the impressive Athena venue in Leicester, the event brought together activity providers from across the UK to honour creativity, passion and excellence; all qualities that sit at the heart of our work in children’s dance.
We were incredibly proud that Miss Bianca and Miss Natalie were nominated for awards. Miss Bianca was nominated for the 'Most Loved Music, Dance or Performing Arts Activity FRANCHISE or LICENSE TERRITORY' and Miss Natalie was nominated for 'Most Loved Activity Leader or Business Manager in: East England'.
Their dedication, enthusiasm and love for teaching shines through in everything they do, and these nominations reflect the impact they make on young dancers and their families every single week. A huge congratulations to them both!
Adding to the excitement, tiny toes ballet was also honoured to be an award sponsor at this year’s ceremony. Our founder, Emma Morgan, took to the stage to present the 'Most Loved Academic or Creative Activity FRANCHISE or LICENSE TERRITORY' award. As the only pre-school ballet and dance programme in the UK fully integrated with the EYFS curriculum, we are passionate about championing those who help children thrive academically and creatively - making our sponsorship of the this award especially meaningful.
"Before founding tiny toes ballet, 15 years ago, as well as a trained dancer I was also an experienced primary school teacher and educational advisor.
Tiny toes ballet was created from a desire to help young children learn in a meaningful and engaging way, through the joy and creativity of dance.
My background in education has been fundamental in helping shape our programme, ensuring it offers a secure and reliable educational foundation for every child who participates.
It is a privilege to see our pupils grow in confidence, develop, and learn about the world around them every single week, and I am certain that the finalists in this category share the same passion and sense of purpose."
- Emma Morgan, founder of tiny toes ballet
Miss Emma, Miss Bianca and Miss Staci attended the event and had a wonderful evening celebrating alongside other inspirational businesses and leaders. From heartfelt speeches to joyful applause, the awards highlighted the transformative role that activities like children’s dance play in childhood development. It was a reminder of how powerful movement, imagination and positive role models can be in shaping young lives.
The 2025 ceremony once again showcased why the What’s On 4 Kids Awards are so highly regarded. They shine a light on the incredible dedication of people across the UK who bring learning and confidence to life for children - from sports and music to creative play and, of course, children’s ballet classes.
We are immensely proud of our team, our nominees and our community. As tiny toes ballet continues to grow as a leading ballet and dance franchise, we remain committed to nurturing confidence, creativity and a lifelong love of children’s dance.
Congratulations again to all the finalists and winners, and well done to Miss Natalie and Miss Bianca for their fantastic achievements!
