Since launching its first Montessori-inspired classes in 2001, Caterpillar Music has grown into a nationwide franchise brand built around music, movement, sensory learning, props, puppets and play.

Its classes are designed to support children’s confidence, development and social skills, while helping families create lasting memories through a familiar and engaging class structure. From themed activities to “Show and Tell” moments, the sessions give children the chance to take part at their own pace and celebrate individual milestones.

The brand’s franchise network has played an important role in keeping the experience fresh and meaningful for families. Franchisees bring ideas, local knowledge and passion to their classes, while lesson plans continue to be updated in line with current Early Years Guidance.

For CEO Helen Simmons, the milestone also reflects her own journey from franchisee to franchisor. Having run a Caterpillar Music franchise for 12 years, she continues to place open communication, respect and shared support at the heart of the network.

Caterpillar Music marked its 25th anniversary with franchisees, partners, families and friends, celebrating the people who continue to bring the brand to communities across the UK.
