Feedback
"The best session of this kind in the area!" (Ruth, mum to Alex)
"I can safely say Once Upon a Story Time has been our favourite class the past year. I have been taking my baby to Amy’s class since she was 12 weeks old. Together we’ve learnt lots of new songs and stories - we sing the songs every day and it’s been a joy to watch my little girl enjoy and become familiar with them. I recommend this class to everyone, especially those with younger babies, Amy is an amazing storyteller." (Christine, Mum to Evie)
"Amy is a great storyteller and musician who gets all the children involved in the class! Our son Aran loves going and it’s great to see him singing along with the regular tunes. We’d definitely recommend it as a great intro to stories and singing for little ones." (Miriam, mum to Aran)
"All of the children have really enjoyed this session, especially the stories Amy tells! One of babies' first words was even 'bubble bubble'!! From the tiny turtle song!" (Sophie and Jan, childminders in Raynes Park)
"My daughter, now 2.5, and I have been enjoying Once Upon a Storytime since she was four months old. It’s been a wonderful activity to complement all stages of her development and strongly supports her love of books and songs. We’ve really enjoyed being part of the Lantern Arts Community and look forward to our newest addition enjoying the experience of Storytime at The Lantern Arts Centre too!" (Jen, mum to Andi)
