Hear from Our Families
Fantastic class for children of all ages. The activities were well thought through. There was a wide variety which appealed to all children. There was a wonderful mix of sensory exposure and using a book to jumpstart the activities is a great way to develop the love of reading we need all children to have when starting school.
My 3 year old loved Tots and Tales! Everyone was very welcoming and friendly and he couldn’t wait to get stuck in with the activities. There was a range of activities that worked on different skills like fine and gross motor control and my little boy was keen to give them all a go. He was so excited to take part in activities involving some of his favourite story book characters - the Gruffalo playdough was a big hit!
Such a lovely session, so thoughtfully put together. My daughter loved it and was really engrossed in the story telling and activities.
My little girl loved it and her confidence improved as the class went on. Would recommend 🙂
I love the theme of having an activity related to a book. It’s the kind of thing I wish I could come up with at home.
I’m so impressed with the class. The concept is so well thought out and unique. I love that it’s centered on a book; helping children fall even more in love with books. It allows the children to be really creative but all within the theme of the book. The activities were so fun and creative. It’s so lovely for parents to enjoy the activities with their kids that are often so hard to create at home. I really enjoyed seeing George’s imagination come to life.
Really fun interactive class for kids. Given them chance to explore a variety of activities & whilst having the chance to feel independent choosing what they wish to do. Plus great for socialising with other kids.
Tots and Tales is a great session to attend. All of the activities support child development and I love that my daughter was learning through play and encouraging her creativity but in a structured way with structured activity stations. She loved it and especially loved the sensory play of listening to a story and engaging in sensory activities to support this. Her love of reading and sensory play in one amazing class. Would highly recommend the class.
Really great, I liked how varied the activities were.
The class and all staff involved were great, allowed children to express themselves and use their imagination on the different stations available within the class.
The session was so much fun and interesting. All the activities were well thought out and had my little boy so engaged. We were worried about his attention span and him socialising with others, as he starts school in September, this class improved both of these skills with the added value of a qualified teacher to ask the right questions and encourage learning! Go to these sessions, you won’t regret it!
Our session at Tots and Tales was fantastic. My child loved the story, and then all the activities linked to it. It was a good chance to do messy play (without the tidying up). It was great to get ideas for language development too – getting my little one school-ready.
Tots and Tales proved to be a huge hit with my two year old. The variety of fun and stimulating activities engaged him for the entire session. Each activity was different and beautifully curated to capture imagination and help develop key developmental skills. The session was fun and Becky led the group seamlessly with confidence and a huge smile. We felt at ease and excited to join future classes.
