Toni was educated at Mary Datchelor's Girls School in Camberwell and the Royal Academy of Music. She originally trained as a nurse but went into show business, touring the world with her husband Dave Arthur as a folk music duo in the 1960s. She then decided that she preferred entertaining children so she developed her own stage show, called Toni Arthur's Music Box, which was designed to help children appreciate music. The show focused on British folklore and became very popular with young audiences. This led Toni to a television career as a presenter/singer on childrens programmes, most notably "Play Away", "Play School", "Seeing and Doing" and "Watch This Space". In between her television work, Toni devotes a lot of her time to voluntary work with young people. Toni and Dave have two sons, Jonathan and Timothy. In her free time, she enjoys studying women's lore, making cosmetics and learning any new strange musical instrument that comes along - she owns 14 musical instruments, so far, and can play every one.
