Anneka Hurst Wins Emerging Business of the Year for Rhythm Time Coventry, Rugby & West Northants
We're absolutely delighted to share some exciting news from our Rhythm Time family! ๐
Our wonderful franchisee, Anneka Hurst, who runs Rhythm Time Coventry, Rugby & West Northants, has won the 'Emerging Business of the Year' award at The Class Business Awards! Anneka was also Highly Commended as runner-up in the Children's Activity Provider of the Year category.
We couldn't be prouder of Anneka and everything she has achieved in building her Rhythm Time business - bringing our popular and multi-sensory music classes to so many local families.

From a Dream to Music Classes for Over 300 Local Families
When Anneka began her Rhythm Time journey three years ago, she had a simple but special ambition: to create something meaningful for families in her local community.
Fast-forward to today, and more than 300 families join Anneka's classes every week! That's hundreds of little ones enjoying our fun music sessions, developing important early skills and making precious memories with their grown-ups.
As Anneka explains, receiving this recognition means so much to her, particularly when she looks back at how far the business has come. She is incredibly grateful to the families who attend her classes, recommend Rhythm Time to their friends and have become part of her growing musical community.
And that's what Rhythm Time is all about. We're not just about singing songs and playing instruments; we're about creating a welcoming space where families can come together, have fun and watch their little ones grow.
Baby, Toddler and Pre-School Music Classes in Coventry, Rugby & West Northants
Anneka runs classes six days a week across Coventry, Rugby and West Northamptonshire, welcoming babies, toddlers and pre-schoolers to our wonderful multi-sensory music sessions.
Every class is filled with singing, instruments, movement and sensory play, giving children opportunities to explore the world around them through music. Along the way, they're developing important skills, including listening, communication, coordination and confidence, all while having a lovely time with their grown-ups.
We know that those early years are such an important time in a child's development, and it's a privilege to help families make the most of them. Seeing little ones grow in confidence, join in with familiar songs and discover something new each week is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.
And of course, our classes are just as much about the grown-ups! Whether you're a new parent looking to meet other families or you have a busy toddler who loves to explore, Rhythm Time offers a chance to connect, share experiences and enjoy some special time together.
Anneka's Business and Children's Activity Awards
Anneka's national award is part of an especially exciting year for her business.
Alongside her success at The Class Business Awards, Anneka received the Growth Award at our annual Rhythm Time conference and was named among the Top 100 Activity Providers at The Club Hub Awards.


These achievements reflect the hard work, enthusiasm and dedication she brings to her business, as well as the wonderful support she provides to the families who attend her classes.
Running a business is never without its challenges, so it's fantastic to see Anneka's efforts recognised. Growing a business while maintaining the personal touch that makes families feel welcome is something to be truly proud of.
We couldn't do it without our families
At Rhythm Time, we believe that the relationships we build with families are at the heart of everything we do. Every smile, every little milestone and every family who recommends us to a friend helps our musical communities grow.
Anneka's success is a wonderful example of what can happen when a passion for helping children learn and develop is combined with dedication, hard work and a genuine love for the local community.
We'd like to say a huge thank you to all the families who have supported Anneka over the last three years. You've helped make her business what it is today, and we're so pleased that you're part of the Rhythm Time family!
Congratulations Anneka!
We're incredibly proud of you and can't wait to see what the future holds for Rhythm Time Coventry, Rugby & West Northants. ๐
