Once upon a time...
Little Bookworms was founded in 2018 by Kirsty Sinclair, a qualified teacher with a passion for bringing books to life through drama and storytelling.
Kirsty encourages children and young people to take ownership of their learning journey, using her imaginative and innovative approach to make every session engaging and magical.
At Little Bookworms, we believe stories can teach us about life, about ourselves, and about others. Through storytelling and drama, children are supported to develop:
• 🗣️ Speaking and listening skills
• 🌟 Curiosity and imagination
• ✍️ Creative writing, thinking, and problem-solving
• 🔤 Key word recognition and consolidation
• 👃👂 Multi-sensory learning experiences
• 🌍 A sense of escapism and wonder at the world
Our creative curriculum ensures that children have fun while learning — because that’s when the magic really happens.

Testimonials
"We love Little Bookworms classes - and Kirsty and Julie! My son is 6 months old and fully engages with the sensory stories. Kirsty is so expressive and makes the stories so exciting and engaging. It is a different story every week along with different activities too which work on different development skills. I cannot recommend these classes enough me and Harry look forward to Thursdays with these lovely ladies." Parent
"We absolutely love Kirsty and Little Bookworms. We love how she brings the books and their stores to life in an unique and entertaining way. I was worried my nearly 4 month old would be too young to take full advantage of the classes but Kirsty makes sure that the class is tailored to suit all ages with both the stories and the "play time" too. I would recommend Little Bookworms to everyone - no matter how young your precious one is!" Parent
"We had our first session at Little Bookworms today and it was fabulous so nice for my 10 month old and 3 year old to be able to do something together and both enjoy and benefit from it. Thank you." Parent

Stick Man Storybook Rap Performance
While on holiday in Tunisia, I decided to bring Stick Man to life — with a twist! I performed a live rap-style reading of Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler’s beloved story during the evening karaoke entertainment, all to entertain the kids. It was such a fun and unique way to share this classic children’s book!
