2. Who we are

Companies House Registered Number: 15427586

Kidz Explosion reserves the right to change and alter these terms at any time.

We provide faith-based, high-energy, and inspiring sessions for children aged 5 to 11. The sessions are designed to help children learn, create, and have fun through crafts, music, and play. Our goal is to teach morals, values, and resilience that can be used to navigate everyday life experiences.

Our vision is to inspire and encourage children to be their best selves by helping them understand their actions, feelings, and emotions through various methods, such as music, dance, crafts, and play. This will enable and empower them to make wise choices for themselves, their friends, and others they interact with.

We offer different services, including auditions, choir, and club, so that children can have a chance to learn, create, and have fun with like-minded peers. We are currently inviting children aged 5-11 to participate in creating the theme song for our fun learning experience. We are conducting auditions and inviting children accompanied by their parents/guardians for a 5- 8 minute audition. To ensure the safety of the children, we have a professional DBS panel that will select suitable candidates for this part of the project. Once the selection process is complete, we will invite the chosen children and their parents/guardians to a recording studio where they will record the track with a DBS-checked team. This will be used for future activities for Kidz Explosion.
