What to expect from our classes

The Story Circle

In the story circle, we bring our chosen story to life through music, props and play. We tell the story using a wide variety of musical genres, including lots of classical music as well our own original songs. Children are encouraged to join in with their own instruments and sensory props.

Play Stations

After the story circle, there is a short social time for you and your little one to unwind and explore different play stations around the room. This is not only an opportunity for them to play and have fun but also a chance for parents and caregivers to chat, socialise, and make new friends.

Return to Circle

We come back to the story circle to sing a well known nursery rhyme all together and then enjoy using our colourful parachute for our final piece of music. Each session then ends with our calming goodbye lullaby.

Such a fantastic mix of sensory, a chance to explore, listen to a lovely story but most of all hear some beautiful live music.

I cannot fault your class at all... Only that we would have loved another hour at least! :)

It's a great concept to incorporate sensory, stories, and music in one session, and is really imaginative.
