BABIES and toddlers at the Bidford branch of Rhythm Time threw a party last week to celebrate the group's 10th birthday.

Set up in Solihull in 1995, Rhythm Time runs a series of music classes around the country.

Its founder Kathy Doolan said she believes every child is musical and that "singing and being exposed to a wide variety of musical is fundamental to a young child's development."

To celebrate the anniversary, each club raised money for Birmingham Children's Hospital.
