5.0My daughter who is now 14 has been going to the Art Umbrella from the age of 7. Over the years her confidence has grown, her skills have developed and life long friendships made. During challenging family times the art umbrella were supportive and understanding. The teachers understood my daughter’s strengths and accommodated where she needs support. Whenever I provided feedback the school listened. Thank you to the team for your caring approach and for being such an important part of my daughters growth and childhood.
5.0The Art Umbrella is a family run business that offers a safe space for children to express themselves artistically as well as learn skills in stagecraft. Through their engagement in this extracurricular program, my children have grown in confidence when performing in front of others and interpersonally. The opportunities they've been given to perform on stage and in front of the camera have been such a joy to witness. Our family adore this school, and we are grateful to the support provided to us by The Art Umbrella team across the years. Absolutely nothing beats their biannual performances, which are cleverly written with lots of humour and cater to the individual needs of their performers.
5.0Simply the Best!!! Of all the activities my 10yr old daughter has engaged in, drama classes at The Art Umbrella are 'hands down' her favorite! She has been attending for over three years and absolutely 'loves it'!!! She can't wait to go every week and when I pick her up after each lesson she is all smiles, happy, excited and full of enthusiasm. This family-run company are extremely professional, dedicated to their teaching and have a combined wealth of knowledge and expertise in stage performance and all areas of the Arts. They are always very approachable, warm and compassionate, as well as being very accommodating to the needs of both children and parents alike. As a single mum, I sometimes struggle, however, they are always very understanding of my personal circumstances. Their stage productions are written and directed by them and are filled with lots of humor, fantastic theatrics, great music and spectacular lighting and props. It is very moving and thoroughly entertaining to see the kids onstage giving it their all, and having soooo much fun. When I watch my daughter up there, it is so heartwarming and fills me with both tears and pride! I highly recommend their classes, it is money well-spent! Thank you all members of 'The Art Umbrella" you have brought my daughter so much happiness and confidence in herself. I absolutely give you 5 stars!!! Jacky Allen and Jordy
