The Story about Ragdolly Annas

Ragdolly Annas was formed in 2011 by me, Anna Varone-Johnson, after the birth of my first son Luca. Having worked in the IT industry since graduating, Ragdolly Annas was very much a career change!

Initially just a children’s activity business hosting music sessions for the 0-5’s and their grown ups in Milton Keynes.  Whilst a successful business, with a great reputation, it was very small and limited in offerings. All of this changed though when COVID19 struck.  We had to think fast and I am very proud to have been one of the first music sessions for children to go online and stream live!

We did this daily from the day that the PM announced that schools would be closing. This catapulted our business as we were watched by 1000’s of children nationally due to unexpected coverage from the BBC News. Post-Covid, everything changed! The demand for sessions was higher than ever! I gained a brand new business partner (my big sister Elena) and we now run sessions across 3 counties, with an ever growing team and expanding services into bespoke musical entertainment for the elderly who are living with Dementia, children and adults with SEND and host a record number of birthday parties and special events.

Why we love what we do

You know when you hear your favourite song on the radio and it makes you smile and can change your day? Well thats what we try and do for all our customers.  We try and be the difference in someones day and we get so much joy from it.  We witness first claps, and smiles, so many smiles!  We often get asked where all our energy comes from, but it genuinely comes from the customers and we literally just all bounce off it!
