Reviews:
“Thank you for a great day!! The children and staff really enjoyed themselves. One member of staff even said ‘that's the way to teach creative writing’ and ‘how fantastic would it be if he could come in every week!’ ”
Alison Norman, Acting Headteacher, Cwmrhydyceirw Primary School, Swansea

“Nigel is a storyteller without equal. From the first minute he had
the children enthralled and sitting on the edge of their seats. The follow up activities were tailored to the age of the children and were thoroughly enjoyed by all pupils. He really is an inspiring presence in the classroom. The morning was over all too quickly. The follow up work we did after was much richer and more imaginative as a result of his brilliant input.”
Elizabeth Brett, Class 5 Teacher, Sketty Primary School , Swansea

“Nigel provided an entertaining and thought provoking day for the children at this school. He provided a wide range of stories tailored to the different ages of the children. Everyone enjoyed the day, particularly because of Nigel’s inimitable style of storytelling, which fully engaged the children. I would thoroughly recommend Nigel to any school”
Andrew Hume, Head teacher, Brockworth Primary School, Gloucestershire.

“Our children were enthralled, Nigel captured their attention, encouraged ideas and spun a magical tale”
Shona Ross, Teacher, Brimscombe C of E Primary School, Gloucestershire
