Charlie & Amy Morrison14 July 2024 Little Story Shapers is our favourite class! My daughter and I have loved attending each week since she was 6 months old. Sarah is brilliantly engaging when reading the wonderful stories and the props and toys are always lots of fun for the babies. We highly recommend! Bethan Edmondson12 July 2024 We love this class - so fun and the kids have a great time! Katie12 July 2024 We absolutely love story shapers, Sarah creates such a fun and relaxed atmosphere whilst we get transported into the story. we have already signed up for next term (our 4th term already 😊) Kayleigh Jenner11 July 2024 Little Story Shapers is a lovely little class. My daughter has really come out of her shell since we have been going and Sarah is amazing with the kids. I highly recommend xx Melon Felon11 July 2024 Sarah has such a great energy and is brilliant at engaging with the children. You can tell a lot of thought and effort goes into the classes and they always feel really well planned and organised to pack in lots of fun activities that the children love without feeling rushed. We've been going to the confident walkers class since my daughter was around 18 months and she loves them. Sharon Mui10 July 2024 Our little one has been going to Little Story Shapers since he was 5 weeks old. It is so rewarding to see how he has progressed in the class throughout the last 4.5 months! There are activities & sensory stimulations that are appropriate for the different ages in the group (we are in the explorer group which includes babies 0-12 months), and the use of storybook, music and sign languages, as well as sensory activities (e.g. touch, light, motor) is really engaging. Our little one really loves it there and he would smiles whenever we sing the hello/intro song from the class at home! Would highly recommend x Mikeala Gore10 July 2024 Little story shapers is such a lovely class with a unique twist. Sarah is so great with the children and I found most weeks my son crawling over to sit right next to her to listen and play. The range of different sensory toys and songs is great and really liked the relaxed feel to the classes. I would definitely recommend! Amy Bryant10 July 2024 My little one has enjoyed little story shapers! Sarah is lovely & is brilliant with the children. Thanks so much Sarah x Sarah Westwood10 July 2024 Story Shapers is such a lovely class to come to. Sarah is brilliant with the little ones, and will happily be hands on with my twins so one doesn’t miss out on the experience. We’ve really enjoyed coming to this class! Thank you Sarah! Donna Veasey10 July 2024 My boys have loved Sarah’s classes and their love of books has only grown. We read every night although no patch on Sarah. Sadly due to childcare we won’t be back in September but this has been the class they’ve been to the longest. Sarah is really accommodating for twins and helps parents when they have their hands full. I will always recommend Sarah’s classes.
