The What’s On 4 Kids National Children’s Activities Awards 2025, now in their 19th year, recognises the UK’s best children’s clubs, classes, leaders, venues and volunteers – and Bianca Summers, who runs Tiny Toes Ballet Staffordshire, will be representing Stafford on the national stage.

Bianca and her dance school are finalists in the Most Loved Music, Dance or Performing Arts Activity category, sponsored by the Creation Station.

She said of her nomination: “It really feels like a celebration we’re all sharing together, because without their support, encouragement, and enthusiasm we wouldn’t be here. To see how much our ballet classes mean to children and parents alike is the greatest reward of all, and this nomination is the icing on the cake.”

Tiny Toes Ballet Staffordshire runs classes for little ones aged two-and-a-half to seven at Beaconside Business Village in Stafford and Huntington Community Centre in Cannock.

The winners will be revealed at a red-carpet event in Leicester on November 27 where 300 guests will step into a winter woodland setting for a sparkling and snowy celebration hosted by actor, musician and presenter Jonathan Bremner.

Founder of What’s On 4 Kids, Sam Godfrey-Moore, said: “Once again, we are ready to delight our finalists, sponsors and supporters at our black-tie Aspen-themed extravaganza. We’re gearing up for a night full of sparkle – congratulations and good luck to every finalist.”

The British Franchise Association (BFA) is returning as ceremony sponsor for the third year in support of the awards – the first dedicated to shining a spotlight on the most inspiring individuals, organisations and businesses in the children’s activities sector.
