Drama offers children the opportunity to develop a valuable set of skills – we call it the four Cs: creativity, confidence, concentration and co-operation. And what’s more it’s lots and lots of fun.

Our classes are completely unique and have been developed by a former drama teacher. Running for over five years, thousands of children have enjoyed the fun and creativity of a Pyjama Drama class.

Classes are held throughout the UK, please call 0845 16 37262 or visit our website www.pyjamadrama.com for more details.

Tatty Bumpkin classes and clothing were born out of a love of yoga and a love of fun. Loosely based on yoga postures, classes are suitable for all children, including those with special needs - Baby Bumpkin (0-2) and Tatty Bumpkin (2-7). Each class encourages your child to explore their physicality, increase their confidence and engage their minds, whilst not being competitive. The Tatty Bumpkin Bendy Doll is used to help children form each pose. The baby classes have more pastoral care and massage included.

Starting with the warm-up song "Bendy, Giggly, Clever and Strong" classes use adapted yoga poses to introduce the concept of "learning through movement" before the magical adventure begins - an amazing place where we'll meet animals, fly like helicopters, be sausage rolls and much more!

The range of clothing is suitable for children aged 0-7 years which are either ethical (fair trade), carbon neutral or simply organic or bamboo as well as class associated toys, mats, dolls.

Classes combine lively music and dance, with carefully structured learning designed for the specific age and developmental stage of your child. We help each child develop confidence, co-ordination, and social skills, whilst learning to express themselves creatively and encouraging a life long love of music and dance. Classes are run by experienced, enthusiastic, energetic and professional people with a passion for music and dance. Children are accompanied by their parent/carer which means classes are a wonderful opportunity for you to have fun with your child!

“The Creation Station has really helped to develop Owens skills. He is a lot more confident in what he creates and it’s given us more ideas of things to use, thank you very much, Owen and I love coming" Owens Daddy!

Using art, craft music & movement…and a little bit of magic, the children (and parents/carers!) are inspired to create their own journey of discovery. The mark making, funky objects and learning that develops is shared and enjoyed with the other children and adults. See some of our activities on our site.

‘It’s full of inventive ideas that children love to do, and I would never think of doing!’ Kylas Mummy

In a recent survey (67 parents/carers) 100% stated that their child’s concentration had increased after 5 sessions.

Using various dancing games and exercises, bells, hoops and dance ribbons to their own funky pop songs your little one not only improves their rhythm and co-ordination but also social and gross motor skills. Introducing different dance styles every half term from salsa and hip hop to country and disco, Diddi Dance will keep your little one interested week after week.

Parents and carers are encouraged to join in with their diddi dancer. However, week after week as you see their confidence blossom you will find yourself able to take a well earned rest and watch with pride their funky moves and smiles.

Classes are ideally suited for both boys and girls between 2-4 years old; however we have also had children as young as 16 months!
