Nimble Tales - Storytelling and live music for 0-5s, from 17th April


Recommended Posts

Book now for our next term of Nimble Tales classes - back from Monday 17th April (Bank Holiday Monday)!


Nimble Tales are creative, musical storytelling sessions, usually accompanied by cello tunes, ukulele songs, puppets, props and bubbles for 0-5s and their grown-ups, taking place in venues across SE26, SE22, SE15 and SE23. There's no singing along to backing tracks as we use real instruments, our songs include new compositions as well as traditional kids favourites, and sessions feature inventive versions of traditional tales and original stories.

Sessions are usually led by Nimble Tots director and cellist, Becky Dixon, a trained EY music specialist and very experienced storyteller! As well as leading local Nimble Tots classes, you may have come across Becky performing at the Royal Festival Hall Clore Ballroom Space for hundreds of families as part of the Imagine Children's Festival, and also regularly leads storytelling workshops for the Royal Albert Hall.


At a Nimble Tots class, each session lasts c. 40-45 minutes, and every week there is a different story. It's best value if you sign up for a full term of classes (works out ?5.50 a class), but equally you can choose to PAYG (?7 per class) and pop along to individual sessions, or buy a 6-class flexicard, which you can use for any sessions across any number of weeks! Siblings over 1 are ?3, and younger siblings go free.


We'd always advise you to book in advance as we can get pretty busy for some sessions - drop ins are always welcome if we have space, but you can book online anytime up until 8am on the morning of a class, choosing whether to book an individual session or a block

    • Have you tried Southwark's leisure centres? As a regular attendee at Peckham, Camberwell, The Castle and speaking to friends, the dance routines for all ages are similar to Silver ones. In addition Natty, Bianca and Isac are brilliant instructors. 
    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!  
    • Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter. 
    • So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)
