My name is Mini Shakespeare and I have taken over the Ipswich franchise from Easter 2012 following the relocation of the previous franchisee.  I have many years of experience with the Early Years sector and hold a degree and Professional Status as an Early Years practitioner.

I'm a firm believer in the benefits of Jo Jingles and have been running Jo Jingles classes for the nursery children at Birch Farm nursery and also hosted customer classes at Birch Farm's activity room on Tuesday mornings for some time now.  As my office is next door to the activity room (separated only by a glass window!) I've had great fun singing along to the sessions and seeing how much they are enjoyed by parents and children alike.

Classes will be run in the Ipswich area by myself, the existing Jo Jingles teacher Fiona who has worked as a Class Teacher for my predessor for nearly 6 years, and by new teacher and Birch Farm nursery staff member Leanne.

We look forward to meeting you at classes ...
