Crafty Tales believe in the power of story telling and encouraging pre-school and primary school children to develop their imagination and creativity by ‘bringing stories to life’ Our classes combine fairy tales, traditional nursery rhymes and other songs with craft, drama, and games providing a rounded, stimulating experience, which, above all, is brilliant fun!

Baby classes (0 - 2yrs): Introduce your child to music from around the world as well as traditional nursery rhymes. Boost your child's fine and gross motor skills, upper body strength and social skills.

Pre-School Classes (2 - 4yrs): Stories and songs from all around the world and a simple sit-down craft project to round off the session. Each child has something to take home and show the family.

We also do parties! Crafty Tales organise unforgettable parties for boys and girls aged 1-10 including themed parties, science and glow-in-the-dark parties and tailor-made parties to suit your child. We can also provide themed birthday cakes, party tableware, serving dishes and catering.
