“We love receiving glowing praise from children and their parents. Here is a selection of recent ones received:
“”This intervention has been one of the best I have experienced. The children have loved attending – even the ones who we thought may find it difficult to slow down or sit still! They have fully participated in all of the games, activities and meditation practices. They have become skilled at scaling their emotions and confident in sharing how they are feeling. They have formed positive relationships within the group and have started looking out for each other at other times of the school day. The children have become aware of how a little bit of quiet time or “”doing one thing at a time on purpose”” can have a positive effect on their bodies and their ability to make clearer decisions.
I have used many of the activities within my role and adopted some of the strategies too. We are looking to continue to have mindfulness interventions as part of our pastoral support as we have seen the benefits for ourselves””

“Today was the best day ever. I loved running down the hill and the forest is really pretty. I loved being badger, everyone said i was really good”” Matthew aged 8
“”Feedback was overwhelmingly positive and would appear to hit all of the objectives. Creative story telling using interactive mediums to explore issues affecting children who have lived with DV i.e. loss, bereavement, attachments issues, trauma etc – all wrapped up in a package which is nurturing and fun.” Women’s Aid Manager
“”Good to see how Kelly and Kerry managed to hold the attention and engagement of a group of 6-7 year olds for the whole hour, with lots of joining in and involvement!”” Steve Webb MP (Minister for State & Pensions) April 2014
“”We had a great time, let alone the children! Lots of imagination, acting, expression, listening & fun. Paolo Parrot was the star for me! Lorely Burt MP (April 2014)
“”A good opportunity for children to express themselves and give them a knowledge of jungle animals. A good way to develop imagination and acting skills. All children listened well and all were eager to take part. All children were included. A good atmosphere for the children.”” Glenis Slater – Liberal Democrat Councillor (April 2014)
“”Wizzleworld Dramatics provided an exciting 6 week programme to our reception children. The lovely stories presented opportunities for social, moral and emotional development; learning and discussion around this was managed well by the facilitators. It was fantastic to see children of all abilities including those with additional needs engage with the stories, the characters and the many imaginative resources and activities. The nature of the sessions encouraged individuals to participate in various activities; relaxation, dancing, singing, acting, playing instruments or directing the story to a level that they were comfortable with. This approach led to some excellent outcomes for the children. We observed an increased confidence and lowering of inhibitions in physical and oral communications within the groups, this was particularly evident for some children who would usually shy away from such activities. Above all, the children had a fun learning experience with Mr Wizzle!””nbsp; R Narroway, Headteacher – Valley Infant School, Solihull (July 2013)
“Wizzleworld Dramatics provided a fantastic service for all of my year one children. It was great to see children of all abilities joining in with the fun whilst learning many valuable life lessons. I would recommend them to any school!”
R Rathbone, Headteacher – Stechford Primary School
“”Wizzleworld Dramatics provided a reliable and professional service to Elmdon Playgroup. The Winter Wonderland session was thoroughly enjoyed by the children.

The children even had an opportunity to try their puppetry skills with Mr Wizzle and give him lots of hugs!”” Catherine Price – Elmdon Pre-School Manager (December 2013)
“”My son was one to be fortunate enough to experience Wizzleworld at Valley Infant School. He couldn’t wait to tell me all about it and commented that it was great and if they do parties! They obviously captured his attention. Great stuff. Need more of this within schools.”” Debbie Curry – Mum of Harrison, aged 7
“”We all really enjoyed our morning with you. All the children found Mr Wizzle and yourselves captivating and entertaining. It was perfectly targeted for our nursery age group , and also very active. Even our younger children stayed focused. We really appreciated how you adapted your session linked to our theme and focus of the nursery.”” Adrianna Farren and all the Tidbury Children- Owner of Tidbury Green Private Nursery (December 2013)
