Can you spot next week's letter?

Hi Friday families. I've got a sick little boy at home again! 🤒🤒🤒. Just so much going about. Luckily Sandra has saved the day and will be looking after you all tomorrow. Xx

A few folk were asking, so thought I'd put a wee post up.
Big Kids Little Learners will be off the FIRST TWO WEEKS OF April (alongside the schools), but we will be on Good Friday. X

Never seen children so excited over felt tips!!!! #unbrellas #rainraingoaway #phonics

This is a great fun class, my daughter really enjoyed learning letters and their sounds through fun songs and activities! She has gained confidence and a great understanding of letters and numbers which prepared her for school. Janine is an amazing teacher and gets the kids learning without them even realising! Would highly recommend.

My daughters been attending this class for a while now she really enjoys it and looks forward to going every week. I love how its a different letter and different activities each week so the children never get bored. Janine is so nice and very good with the children we love big kids little learners!!

My daughter attended Janine's class for a year and loved every minute, she has gone to school knowing all her letters and even surprised us by knowing all the tricky words in her first ever homework excercise!!!! Janine is a natural with all the kids who knew learning could be so much fun!!!!

My daughter and I absolutely love this class and can't wait to get started again after the Christmas break! In the final year before Sofia starts school I really wanted to use our time together productively, but most importantly enjoy ourselves. Big Kids Little Learners is the perfect preparation for school, teaching the children literacy and numeracy in a creative, fun way with a wealth of fantastic resources. Classes follow a consistent structure to complement learning however no two classes are the same so the children are always kept entertained. Janine is a fantastic teacher, so enthusiastic and warm you can see why the children are progressing so well. Sofia's recently started reading which we never expected ahead of starting school. Keep up the great work!

My Daughter and I love Janine's class! I am amazed at how quickly Olivia has learned her phonics and numbers. Lots of fun activities every week and it has given me lots of ideas for making learning fun at home. We have also spent many an hour singing along with the family phonics cd in the car �. Of all the classes i have attended with both my girls this is by far the best.

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this class!! My son Thomas has been going for almost 9 months now and has not only come right out of his shell, but his vocabulary has improved so much. We love learning a different letter each week and singing along to the CD in the car. Even his baby brother smiles when we sing the tune. Janine has a great rapport with all the children, and her reward stickers smell delicious too!

Janine's class is wonderful! There are so many different learning activities for the kids to play with each week and it's so much fun playing alongside my son. Learning letters, numbers, songs and story time the fun way! Janine is a great teacher and comes up with really fun ideas for parents to get involved with their children. I highly recommend this class!

If you are looking for a fun, educational & engaging pre-school class for your child, don't look any further...BKLL has all of this and more! Janine really brings the magic to learning in a way I've never seen before! Not only do the kids love this class but the adults do too, gives parents that important one on one time doing various fun activities with your kid! Thank you Janine and BKLL you are making a massive difference to early years education �

I've been taking my son to this class for over a year and he loves it. Janine is a brilliant teacher who puts so much effort into all the different activities she sets up each week. The kids learn so much and have great fun doing it. Thank you Janine. X

I've been taking my son to the class for over a year and it's amazing how much he learns in only an hour a week. He's so engaged at the classes and desperate to show Janine everything. If he gets a teacher half as enthusiastic and dedicated in school as Janine has been he'll be a lucky boy!

I really can't recommend Big Kids Little Learners enough!! :) Janine is so much fun and really helps the children to learn while playing and making friends at the same time. My little boy is starting primary 1 in two weeks and coming to these classes has given him such a head start with letters, shapes, patterns…. the list goes on. We're really going to miss BKLL!

I can’t praise Janine highly enough. She has a great connection with children and it comes naturally to her. It’s wonderful to watch. Janine was the teacher within my oldest son’s nursery. He is now 7 and still speaks of her. Her energy and teaching methods are fabulous. She knows what to do to make the children want to learn about phonics and numbers and it’s unbelievable how quickly they come on. Well done BKLL �

I can't recommend this class highly enough, Janine is a great teacher and has a brilliant way with teaching the kids. A great start for pre school kids. Both my boy I loved going to the classes, even my youngest who was around 8 months old loved listening and watching what Janine was doing. This class has definitely helped my boy in his first year at school and will definitely be back to join the class again when my youngest is 3!

Cannot recommend this class enough. My daughter has been going for over a year now and has come on soo much. Janine is an amazing teacher, and such a lovely genuine person. The way she teaches is just amazing and I love the songs, games and stories as much as my daughter. Will be gutted when my daughter goes to school this year but I know that she will be more than ready with the skills she has learned at BKLL x

Cannot recommend BKLL enough. Definitely been the best class I've been to with my wee one. Such a simple but effective concept, which has been hugely beneficial in raising my wee boy's awareness of letters and numbers, but also in giving me some great insights into what he'll be taught and how I can help him when he starts school. Janine's enthusiasm and energy is infectious. Every week is different, the kids adore her, my wee one loves coming and I love that we get to get involved in the action! Will be so sad to miss out on our weekly sessions once he starts school!!

Big Kids Little Learners is fab, the classes help kids to understand each letter of the alphabet individually and learning about the character of each letter makes it so fun but also helps them remember better. It is such a great basis for learning to read and write. Olivia loves her mornings at BKLL (mummy&nanny do too). Janine is AMAZING with the kids. So kind & patient! Defo recommend for all preschoolers! xx�xx

Big Kids Little Learners is a great class for little ones and their grown ups.

Janine is an incredibly warm, enthusiastic and knowledgeable teacher who inspires confidence in the parents whilst also being fun. My 3 year old is coming on leaps and bounds with her letters and in a very busy life we really value the time we get to spend together in this class. (Elizabeth)



I love Janine and I love her helping me with pictures and play dough. I love the letter songs. I love A because she is a brilliant singer. (Esme 3)

BKLL is a fantastic class for 3-5 year olds ,my son who has attended for the past 2 years has loved it and had fun making new friends and learning new things every week. Janine makes learning fun in a way the kids really enjoy and also gives you great tips of ways to learn at home. It's also great to see the kids grow in confidence and knowledge and helps them prepare for what's ahead in P1.

I cannot recommend this class highly enough ��xx

After 3 months attending big kids little learners my 4 year old was sounding words out and spelling them by herself using letter fridge magnets. She loves the classes and thinks Janine is great, and the results speak for themselves. I wish we'd found the classes sooner, but it's been well worth it even for the relatively short time we've been attending before my daughter starts school in August.
