WEEKLY CLASSES FOR PARENTS AND CARERS

Theatre is a hard thing to imagine little people doing. Often we are asked ‘What can they do in a theatre class before they can speak or move?’ Hopefully the blurb below will answer a few questions but if not please feel free to email us and ask. No question is too small or too silly!
Theatre Tots is an opportunity to explore those early imaginations. In a baby the imagination starts with the senses – exploring the world through sight, sound, taste, touch and smell. This develops all the time as babies start to move, vocalise and grow until they are the ones telling the stories to us. For us drama is accessible and inclusive – everyone can do it! Drama doesn’t need to be about becoming a performer, it can be about important life skills – confidence, flexibility and imagination.
OVERVIEW
  • All classes are 45 minutes long.
  • 10% discount for siblings.
  • We offer a £2 trial session to try before you buy!
The class takes them through games, mimes and imitation, tongue twisters, costumes, stories, characters, puppets, props and songs. We work with a lot of everyday objects ensuring that the exercises in class can be easily repeated at home. Our sessions are planned in line with the newly updated EYFS curriculum to ensure current and high standards of facilitation.

Themes change every 6 – 8 weeks and all the stories and songs are original. Our focus is the sessions and we do not work termly towards children’s performances in our weekly parent / carer sessions.

The focus is on creative play, imagination, social, physical and vocal awareness in a confidence-building environment. The sessions are closely linked to the early years foundation stage curriculum. Sessions are interactive and parents and carers are encouraged to join in the fun. Dressing up and silliness are very welcome!

COST AND PAYMENT OPTIONS

Theatre Tots credit card
We are really pleased to announce our new payment scheme for parents! It allows parents to spend as much or as little as they like in one go and never feel they are going to lose out on money if they have to miss a session. We would like our sessions to be accessible to all and not tied to large termly payments – we hope this helps to enable everyone to come along and enjoy what we do.
How does it work?

  • Each card has 10 boxes on the back, each is worth £5. We colour in the amount to match your credit paid and stamp the card each time to use a £5 credit.

  • You can put any amount from £20 - £50 on the card.

  • The credit can then be used in classes (allowing the cheaper rate of £5), and on party bookings.

  • Our credit cards don’t expire so if you put credit can roll over to the next term or next year! You could even save it and use it up for a younger sibling!

If you don’t fancy a credit card classes can still be taken at the pay as you go rate of £6 per session.
