school and nursery workshops
"This is is the first time I have seen this child laugh in the 2 months he's been in our nursery"
Nursery teacher, Hanwell
We offer wellbeing focused storytelling and drama groups for EYFS through to Year 2. Using story, play, music, movement, games and a wide array of puppets and props, we create a world where children have multiple opportunities to develop their voice (verbally or otherwise), to choose what happens next and to engage in a way that suits them.
Drama can provide an increased sense of emotional wellbeing for children when they feel in control of their play - our sessions offer the space for children to experience such control. Sessions provide opportunities for each child to practice autonomy, helping them create confidence in expressing their wants and ideas.
"These sessions come alive through drama, songs and stories. It would be wonderful if you could come and work with our children again"
Reception teacher, PETER HILLS Primary school
"I'm really impressed with the language the children have been using since doing the sessions."

Key Elements
Interactive storytelling, rhythmic movement, improvisation and imaginative exploration.
Opportunities to change the course of the story, allowing self-expression and permission to be in charge of their own narrative, thus fostering creativity.
A child-led approach, allowing freedom to work collectively and on a solo basis.
Inclusivity. Multi-sensory experiences allow us to meet children where they are, embracing all learning styles and forms of communication.
Small groups. Children can better express themselves, build confidence through our sensitive mix of loose structure and gentle anarchy.
A safe, open environment where voices are heard, promoting a sense of agency. This is why we sensitively tailor sessions to each member of the group.
Creation of a safe space to support speech, language and communication and to encourage self-expression. This builds creativity and the confidence to problem solve, which transfers to all areas of learning.
"The children were always super excited for the workshops. Leia and Sandy are so enthusiastic and obviously enjoy supporting the children's learning and social skills development.
They use exciting and fun resources and the activities and games were very inclusive and really helped develop the children's confidence.
As the class teacher, they communicated well with me about the children's needs and personally, I really enjoyed getting to know them too!"
Reception teacher, Riversdale Primary School
"The children were always excited to go and were sad when it finished.
The activities were always tailored to children in the group.
Sandy and Leia are great at getting to know the children and going at their pace."
SENDCo, riversdale primary school
"I would recommend Leia and Sandy most highly to work with children. They are able to tailor programs to different needs and would be an asset to any setting concerned about the social and emotional development of children."
