Frequently Asked Questions
What is Reading Fairy?
For detailed information about our classes, including days, times, venues and age-ranges, please click ‘About the classes’ at the left of the page.
How long are your terms?
Individual terms may vary in length but will be around 8-10 weeks long. Specific start and end dates for each term can be found on the booking page prior to the start of term.
Do you offer trials?
Trial classes are available on request- please message to arrange this.
Do you offer 'pay as you go' sessions?
Classes must be booked in terms. You can join the term at any point (providing there are spaces available) and will only be charged for the remainder of that term.
Can I bring my older/younger child too?
Babies under 12 months may attend with a sibling at no additional cost. Siblings who fall within the Reading Fairy age range (1-5 years) may attend with each other but will be charged (see below for discounted rates). Where siblings attend together, it is recommended that you attend the class suited to the age of your eldest child. Whilst siblings are welcome, parents should note that Reading Fairy sessions encourage support and participation from the supervising adult so please bear this in mind when attending with more than one child. Anyone wishing to bring older siblings to their Reading Fairy class must contact the class leader prior to booking to arrange this. The decision whether or not to allow an older sibling to attend class lies with the class leader and will be made based on each individual circumstance.
Do you offer a discount for siblings/twins/triplets?
Siblings/twins/triplets attending the same class together will receive a discount (maximum 3 children attending with 1 adult). Siblings attending classes on different days will each be charged at full price. Please contact me directly before booking for a sibling discount code.
Do you allow childminders to join your classes?
Yes- absolutely! Childminders are welcome at all of our classes and will receive a discount for bookings of more than one child- please contact me prior to booking to discuss your needs. An adult-to-child ratio of 1:3 is recommended as adults will be required to support their children at certain parts of the session.
What if I can’t attend one of my classes?
Regrettably, we are unable to refund missed sessions or offer class credits but you can nominate a friend or family member to take your place, providing their child is of the right age for the class. Please just let your class leader know in advance if you plan to do this.
Is this just a phonics class?
No. Although phonics plays a big part of the session, our sessions are about developing a life-long love of reading for pleasure through many different aspects including phonics. Our ‘About the classes’ page (click the link on the left) explains more about what you can expect from each class.
Will my child be expected to sit and listen for 45 minutes?
No. The Reading Fairy programme is written by early reading experts and is based on the best early years practice; classes are divided into age stages and all activities are age-appropriate to that stage. We believe in learning through play in a variety of multi-sensory ways. Our ‘About the classes’ page (click the link on the left) explains more about what you can expect from each class.
