   Tots Pretend is simply wonderful! Helen is super engaging & our children at nursery LOVE her. It’s the highlight of their week when they see her come through the door, everyone cant wait for their turn. Our children are always fully engaged in the sessions & hang on every word Helen says, we have noticed our quieter, less confident children are really coming out of their shells & we can see their confidence blossoming! I cannot recommend Tots Pretend enough. It is simply fabulous!

   Helen is a brilliant, dedicated teacher with boundless energy. She helped increase my son's confidence in group settings and encouraged his love of Storytelling!

   Such a lovely class that really engages my 2 and 3 year old. We have been coming for 3x terms now and my kids love pretending to be anything from superheros to mermaids! There is a little bit of everything from singing and dancing to physical play and imagination. Helen is a friendly and enthusiastic facilitator and the kids all love her. She is always so happy with bundles of energy (honestly don't know where you get the energy from Helen) which is infectious with the children. Every week is different and so imaginative. Thank you for such a unique class Helen. We really have enjoyed the classes!

   Excellent class for toddlers. My little girl (just 3yo) absolutely loves going to the class where we get to pretend to be anything from under water animals, to circus folk to super heroes. It’s always different, but there enough familiarity for children. To be confident and comfortable in tasks. Helen is an amazing facilitator and has worked well to support my daughter with her additional needs. I would highly recommend anyone attending.

   Tots pretend is an amazing class, it has a little bit of everything, singing, dancing, playing and miming. I take my 3 year old and he loves it, he really gets involved in the class and then talks about it for the rest of the day! It’s so good for exploring his imagination and building his confidence. Helen is lovely, so much fun and great with all the children. Would definitely recommend this class.

   My 2 year old daughter was really shy when she started at Tots Pretend, mainly because she hadn't seen any children during the pandemic. Even after the first session, she asked when she could go back - she absolutely LOVES it. Helen is absolutely amazing - she makes it interactive, fun and gets every child involved and exploring their imagination. Winnie talks about Helen during the week and even plays Tots Pretend at home! If you want your child to feel more confident, happy and content then this is the session. It will help them grow social skills and prepare them to make friends when they start school. I honestly couldn't rate Helen's Tots Pretend high enough!

   My son has always loved imaginative play so I was very happy to find a local drama class. Helen is wonderful at engaging the children and my son loves the excitement of discovering a new topic each week. When we had to move to online lessons Helen made the transition really easy by continuing the format and engaging with children over Zoom, although we missed the in person interaction my son loved the opportunity to introduce his own props and fancy dress costumes into the session.

   My daughter absolutely loves Tots Pretend. It's a brilliant class and is really well organised by a wonderful leader. My daughter loves fantasy play and this class gives her a chance to really build on this in an environment with like minded kids. Totally recommend it.

   My daughter and son have both enjoyed Tots Pretend classes over the last 18 months. My son took classes during his school day which was brilliant because I didn't have to take him to a drama class after school, he did it in his lunch break which was so good! My daughter goes every Friday to the local class in Leeds and over lockdown she loved the Zoom sessions and interacted in the usual way she would as if the class were in person. I have seen her confidence improve so much and she often sings the song and acts out the sequence in her own creative play. I cannot recommend these classes enough. Helen also offers birthday parties and other one off specials.
