diddi dance founder Anne-Marie Martin wins big at the National What’s On 4 Awards 2019

October 15, 2019 by Helena Rigby

The winners of the National What’s On 4 Awards for the Children’s Activities Sector with Morton Michel were announced at a special awards ceremony last Friday. We are absolutely thrilled and proud to announce that our very own founder of diddi dance Anne-Marie Martin, was presented with the highest honour of The Lifetime Achievement Award.

What’s on 4 said “Anne-Marie’s devotion and passion for the industry is awe-inspiring and relentless. We can’t think of a better name to add to the Lifetime Achievement hall of fame for children’s activities.”

As with the other What’s On 4 awards, The Lifetime Achievement award isn’t voted for by customers which means that Anne-Marie’s achievements over nearly 17 years have been recognised by industry leaders as truly exceptional and worthy of bestowing this most prestigious award.

These pioneering awards were launched in 2007 to celebrate the UK’s best children’s clubs and classes, along with leaders, volunteers and party providers for children – as nominated and voted for by the experts – parents, carers and parents-to-be.

Over the last decade, the What’s On 4 Kids Awards have become established as the industry accolade with hundreds of exceptional businesses and individuals in the flourishing sector keen to be part of the action and be in with a chance to be revealed as a finalist or winner!

Anne-Marie said “I am absolutely honoured and delighted to have been recognised for my work with diddi dance, in receiving The Lifetime Achievement award from What’s On 4 and to join such prestigious previous winners of this award is indeed a privilege.”

Now in its 13th year, this National awards programme welcomes the return of headline sponsor Morton Michel and supporters STA and ClassBiz alongside ceremony hosts, NatWest. Parents and carers logged on to What’s On 4 Kids to cast a massive 80,000 nominations and votes to ensure that their ‘most-loved’ were in the running.

What’s On 4 Kids Managing Director, Sam Willoughby, concluded

‘Each and every year it’s a pleasure to welcome back so many activities, keen to be part of these National awards once again but it’s also so exciting to see the new nominees from this thriving sector being showcased for the first time. We know from parents’ testimonials how clubs, classes and individual leaders have such a positive impact on the lives of their children and it’s an honour therefore to publicly recognise and celebrate these activity providers in this way. Huge thank you to NatWest, Morton Michel and all our sponsors and supporters as well as the thousands of parent voters for being such a massive part of the What’s On 4 Kids Awards 2019’.
Previous winners of The Lifetime Achievement Award were Steve Franks (Water Babies) in 2017 and Kathy Doolan (Rhythm Time) in 2018.

Welcome a new Franchisee to diddi dance North Kent

August 28, 2018 by Rebecca

diddi dance toddler preschool north kent bexley dartforddiddi dance North Kent (Bexley & Dartford) has a new owner – Jane Mitchell! She will be taking over the management and direction of all classes & sessions running currently in the area and will be launching some new ones this upcoming September.

The classes that will be running from 10th September are:

Mondays:

  • 10am @ The Centre, New Eltham Methodist Church, 435 Methodist Church, New Eltham, London SE9 3UL

Wednesday

  • 11am @ Bexley Cricket Club, Studio Court, Manor way, Bexley, Kent, DA5 3QG

Feel free to email Jane directly now to book a FREE trial or secure your spot in any of the above classes for September via [email protected].

 

A little bit more about Jane:

Tell us a bit about yourself:

My name is Jane and I live in New Eltham London with my husband Neil and our two year old daughter Lucy, I have two teenage stepdaughters Cara and Nancy.

What did you do before diddi dance?

I have been hairdressing for over 20 years along with many different managerial roles at different times in other different customer focused environments. Including supervisory, managerial and proprietor all with teams working for me requiring training, support and HR.

How were you affiliated with your new diddi dance franchise before taking it over?

I attended diddi dance with Lucy and had such a great time it seemed like a fantastic opportunity.

What made you want to take on an already established diddi dance?

My initial interest in diddi dance was upon finding out that my local area franchise was available for purchase. As a parent at a class I was able to see the business in its true light. Taking on an established and reasonably small franchise I felt that I had a great business model to enable me to understand and learn the workings of the business, before expanding and exploring the territory further.

And finally, what are you looking forward to the most with your new diddi dance franchise?

After lone working for five years now I’m really excited to a part of a team again, having a network of support as well as my own teachers to work with.

This is a totally new venture for me a fantastic challenge and I’m looking forward to building a successful business and secure future for my family.

A little bit more about Liz & Rachael:

Tell us a bit about yourself and your family:

Liz is Mum to Dylan aged 3 and Evie aged 1 and is busy planning her wedding to Geoff in March. Liz was born in Greece and enjoys frequent holidays to her family in Corfu.

Rachael is Mum to Joseph aged 3 and has been married to Paul for 4 years. Rachael loves traveling and baking.

What did you do before diddi dance?

Liz – I worked for an engineering firm as a key account coordinator for the past 8 years. The role allowed me to travel and meet clients from all over the world. I have decided not to return to this employment after having my second child.

Rachael – I work as a customer service manager in a large travel agent, I have worked here for the past 10 years and have had some amazing opportunities to see the world.

How do you two know each other and why did you decide to partner up to run a diddi dance franchise?

We met during antenatal classes 3 years ago. Since having children our priorities have changed and we both to find something that fits in with our families and working with children. We looked into diddi dance a few years ago however Liz became pregnant so the idea was put on hold. Since having her second child Liz decided not to return to work and we enquired again about diddi dance….. the rest is history!!!!

Why did you choose a diddi dance franchise?

We love the concept of diddi dance and wanted to be involved in something as fun and energetic. We realised there was a gap in our local market – other than ballet there are no other dance groups around and we felt that diddi dance would fill the gap perfectly.

What are you most excited about for your new business?

We can’t wait to launch our classes and meet lots of new children and their parents – to see them having fun, getting involved and growing in confidence. We are also excited to be working for ourselves whilst being part of such an amazing worthwhile franchise.

And finally, which diddi dance theme are you looking forward to the most and why?

We both can’t wait for the Flamenco theme – we did our training week with Flamenco and fell in love with the song and the dance moves so can’t wait to teach it to our diddis.

Liz & Rachael’s classes have started with our Disco theme so don’t forget to book your FREE trial today!
