How are the storytellers trained?

Our storytellers, generally from performance backgrounds, are initially selected for their ability to communicate with children. They then complete extensive training including observations and trial sessions. They are then let loose with their very own sock. All teachers are continuously monitored throughout their employment and are CRB checked.

A class lasts 30 minutes. The perfect time to keep the children engaged.

What is Story Sock?

Story sock is a fun and exciting class aiming to encourage an enthusiasm in books and reading in pre primary children.

Every week, inside the story sock the children will discover a new story. The story will be read by the storyteller, taking time to discuss the pictures and the themes, together with the plot. The second half of the class will feature a different activity based on the story. It may be an improvised drama, an arts and craft activity, songs, games...the possibilities are endless!

A class costs just £5.65 a week but in order to secure a place we ask for this fee termly in advance. We also offer a sibling discount of 20%.

The maximum class size is 10. We are careful not to go over this so each child receives individual attention and plenty of space.

Of course! A trial session is completely free. Just email or call to ensure availability.
