Pre-school and After School French Classes Cardiff
Learning a foreign language is a valuable part of every child’s education, so why not give your child a headstart with the chance to start learning French now? Learning a language in their earliest years helps children to grow in self-confidence and boosts their natural creativity.
At Frenchtastic, we are dedicated to teaching French to young children through fun – we use songs, dance, games and drama to bring the language to life and inspire our little learners.
Why not come along and see what fun Frenchtastic really is? FREE trial available for all new French Classes Cardiff customers.
A 20% sibling discount is available (children don’t need to attend the same class)
Classes can be booked mid term and you will only pay for the classes you attend.
Private classes at home childminder rates are also available – contact Annie for details.
School lunch clubs and after-school clubs can also be arranged. Contact Annie if you would like Frenchtastic to run a lunch club at your child’s school.

Annie Harding is the first teacher to bring the Frenchtastic way of learning French to Wales and is thrilled to have been a finalist in the 2015 Mums in the Know Awards and in the What’s on 4 Juniors Awards for three years running. Voted for by parents who attend her classes, Annie has been shortlisted in an impressive 3 categories including in the Most Outstanding Activity Leader for Under 5’s and Best After School Activity.
Born and brought up in Cardiff, with a French mother and Welsh father, she grew up speaking French in their bilingual home, and spent every school holiday with her extended family in France.
Having studied to be a teacher at university, Annie gained experience with young children as a nanny for a French family, and then later in primary schools. Now a mum of two girls under ten, Annie packs her bags every summer and takes her family to France, where she is keen to introduce her children to the French language and way of life that are so important to her.
An enthusiastic and fun teacher, with a contagious laugh, Annie looks forward to welcoming you to Frenchtastic Cardiff.
