frequently asked questions
There's no such thing as a silly question!
At Story Rangers, we believe in the power of stories to inspire, engage, and empower young minds. We provide interactive classes and activities designed to unlock the magic of storytelling in children
Classes typically last bewteen 45 minutes and an hour and are structured as follows:
- We begin with a selection of fun and engaging warm up activities that link to the theme of our story and help to put your child at ease.
- Next we move onto storytelling. Here the children play an active role in storytelling and will make use of drama, musical instruments and props to fully engage with the story and bring it to life.
- After the story, children have the opportunity to choose from a range of activities that link to the story we have just read. Activities on offer might include sensory play, small world play, craft activities or simply relaxing and enjoying the books and story-telling props on offer. During this time, if your child would like to try telling one of his or her own stories (no matter how short!) they will receive 1:1 support with this and their story will be written down for them.
- We come back together as a group at the end of the session to hear and act out any stories that the children have shared and to celebrate their achievements. Reward stickers and special awards such as “Ranger of the week” will be given at the end of each session.
Throughout all of these activities, we will be led entirely by your child. If they prefer to watch a particular activity or we need to adapt it to suit their needs, then that's absolutely fine. We recognise that each child is an individual and it is important to us that our classes are relaxed and pressure-free for all who attend. Confidence will come in time!
Yes! Our parent and child sessions are ideally suited to children aged 2 to school age, but this is only a guide and if your child is a little younger and you’d like to trial the class we are very happy for you to do so.
You can book a single class trial in the first instance. After this, if you would like to continue, you will need to block-book for each half-term to guarantee a place in class.
Yes! Younger siblings under the age of 2 can attend free of charge. Siblings older than 2 or old enough to require their own craft materials and resources will be charged at our sibling rate (£7.50 for the first child and £2.50 for each additional child thereafter).
