French Classes Blackmore Vale
Bonjour et Bienvenue! Hello and Welcome!
My name is Claudie, I am a French native speaker and mum of two teenage children. I have lived in the UK for over 30 years.
I own the Kidslingo’s Frenchtastic franchise for the Blackmore Vale (based in and around) Blandford Forum and covering areas such as Sherborne, Castle Cary, Bruton, Yeovil, Wincanton, Gillingham, Shaftesbury, Sturminster Newton, Child Okeford, The Tarrants & Spetisbury.
Our priority at Kidslingo is to give your child a positive and exciting experience to learning a new language; this is something I am very passionate about.
Our classes are all about inclusion and having fun: they are planned yet relaxed, multi-sensory lessons, designed to engage, capture the minds of little ones and immerse them into a foreign language whilst exposing them to different cultures through a plurality of interactive activities such as songs, games, drama and storytelling.
***CORONOVIRUS UPDATE***
I am SO excited to say that ALL our nursery, primary school and private tuition CLASSES are not only LIVE ONLINE but we are now back in class too!!
ONLINE LESSONS: What is great about our virtual online classroom, is that children can fully participate and interact with their tutor and each other.
FACE TO FACE LESSONS: I am now back teaching face to face; what a pleasure that is! I have carried out all necessary C19 and refresher training (certificates can be seen on request), so come and join me for some exciting French learning!
So if you are a parent, child-minder or run a nursery and would like to arrange a class, then please do not hesitate to contact me.
Emailing me at claudie.thornewill@kidslingo.co.uk or give me a ring on 07789 662873 for more information about our amazing discount offers and to find out about class availability.
I look forward to hearing from you and/or seeing you in class!….and believe me, our classes take place anywhere, IN or OUT DOORS!
A bientôt, j’espère!
Claudie

Research has shown that a child’s natural ability to learn is developed in the first 3-4 years of their life and that learning a second language may not only encourage the development of their mother tongue but can also aid the acquisition of other skills such as critical thinking and creativity – Another great reason to sign up to ANY of our classes today!
