How big are the classes?
Our classes only run with a maximum of 10 children so that a more focused approach can occur
Where do you run and is there parking?
Whitton Youth Zone (Fridays)
Whitton Youth Zone can be found on Brittania lane, Whitton, TW2 7JX. Unfortunately there is no parking at the venue. However the venue is just across the road from the train station and bus stop and there is parking o the street in and around Whitton. You may want to give yourself and extra 5 mins to park up. Alternatively you can park in Lidl on the high street.

Can I bring my older/younger child
Siblings are welcomed at Reading Fairy. For those with siblings under 1 there is no charge. For those children over 1 who are going to participate in the class with their own set of props, there is a 50% discount on their booking. We recommend booking the class that is age appropriate for your oldest child as the youngest will always learn from older children and your oldest child is then being challenged and the class is age appropriate for them.
