My 4 year old daughter loves Froglets. She is always excited for her French class on a saturday morning and really does develop in these fun and interactive sessions.
To hear her sing in French unprompted means it really does stick and gives her exposure to a second language. Her French is developing at such a great rate that I'm really thankful to Maud and the team.
Our children have been going to German classes here for a few years now. They really enjoy the teaching and have learned a huge amount. The teaching is varied and interactive. Improved even more by the fact that there are swimming classes next door just after Deutsch Unterricht, so we combine several things in just a few hours.
Our 2 year old daughter has been attending the French tadpoles class for 6 months and has lots of fun. She enjoys the songs and the stories that Maud prepares. It gives her more exposure to her 2nd language, which is exactly what we were looking for.
My son loves the French class, he looks forward all week for it and he is retaining a lots of new vocabularies. I think it's a lovely way to spend our Saturday morning. I can't thank you enough for the hard work that the teachers put into it.
My little girls (5 and 2) have been attending the weekly Italian classes for a while now and they absolutely love them! They have lots of fun and they are picking up a lot of new Italian words week after week.
My eldest also attended the half term Italian club in February and she had the best time. She couldn’t stop talking about it and was really sad when it was over. Again, she’s made fantastic progress during that week. Thank you so much to the Learning Pond team, especially the lovely maestra Cristina, you are all amazing!
We have been coming to Saturday Italian classes since my son was 3 months old, he is now 3 and Saturday classes are a wonderful part of our week. The classes are well delivered, welcoming and inclusive. We go to the Italian sessions and can thoroughly recommend this. Thank you to the team for being so lovely every week ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I was extremely impressed with the half term club. My little girl was excited to go every morning and she throughly enjoyed every session. They did pasta making, cookie making, played games and crafts, all through Italian medium. It was clear to see that the sessions were structured and well planned.
After the intensive week of learning, I noticed my little girl choosing to say much more in Italian at home. We can’t wait to attend the next one.
We also love the weekly Saturday sessions so it was not a surprise to us that our little girl loved the half term club so much.
Thank you to The Learning Pond team for providing our children with a wonderful learning opportunity!
The Italian half term club was a fantastic opportunity for our 2.5 year old son to improve his Italian, interact with other Italian-speaking children, and refine his social skills. He thoroughly enjoyed the games, songs, books and activities prepared by Cristina. We hope to take part again later in the year!
Not only at the Learning Pond you can learn a language, you can also enjoy the friendly environment and the extra activities. It's an amazing place where to spend your Saturday!
