Perform Reviews 51

The classes have been amazing for my daughter, she's taking to it with leaps and bounds saying she wants to be a singer and a dancer and the like when she grows up, she's always singing the songs and really excited about her first performance! Lizzie is fantastic at managing everything, always happy to see the kids, very informative and keeping us in the loop with everything going on. I don't know the name of the other girl that she works with but they're both fantastic.

Iwould like to say a big thank you to Andrew and Lucy to make my daughter wellcome to the class. She enjoys the class and very happy with the guidance from them.
Lovely to see her coming out of her shell. Looking forward to see the show. Kind regards D.Davidson

I wish the casting process was more balanced. They selected the same child as the main character two times in a row, which felt a bit unfair. It’s disappointing because other kids ended up feeling upset and demotivated. A fairer rotation in casting would help keep all children engaged and encouraged.

Our daughter absolutely loves the Perform classes! She gets so excited when she knows she has one coming up. Even though she's only been to four classes so far, she's already singing the Magical Merlin songs at home and knows most of the script, even the parts that aren't hers! The teachers are wonderful and very encouraging. She loves coming home with stickers, and her poster has pride of place on her bedroom wall.

Only a few weeks in and our daughter is loving Perform! She asks every day if it is nearly time to go again! Classes are clearly very engaging and good fun. We’re so looking forward to her first performance in December. Loved that us parents could see some of a class today, it was a lovely insight.

My son absolutely adores Perform classes- he continuously asks if it is the day for his drama class yet. We are on a bursary as we'd, as a single parent family, never be able to afford this normally; it is no hyperbolic statement to say this bursary is life changing and we're so grateful for it

The word amazing does not cover how fantastic and enthusiastic Erin and Emily are! They are marvellous and very talented. They just gets it and knows how to teach my boys. We look forward to seeing them every week and the boys are gaining more confidence and skills every week. We feel really lucky to have them and trust her entirely! They are a real asset and anybody would be lucky to be taught by them.

After a turbulent week, my daughter ended on a high and had requested to participate in the weekly class. She struggled midway through the week, we think now triggered by a scene in which the cast creep up on her. However, together with the team, she worked through it and it was wonderful to see her inner pride since through after the show. We really appreciated the kindness and professionalism shown by Lucy during the week.

My daughter loves her sessions with Emily and Gemma and spends the whole week looking forward to them. We have found her proudly telling family members all about the funny rhymes she has learnt each week and watching her glowing with pride at the end of term performance is a delight. Thank you to all your staff!

The teacher and producer are brilliant. They understood my daughter's needs really well. They were so gentle and patient with my daughter. Perform has been excellent for my daughter. My daughter has grown in confidence, she is using better communication and she loves Perform club.

“I go to Perform, my teacher is Georgia and Kate. They’re very kind and the best teachers I can have. I wish I could go every day. “ My daughter age 6

My 7 year old has loved perform from his very first session 5 terms ago. Karen and Lydia do a fantastic job with just the right balance of encouraging skill improvement and nurturing confidence. He was so excited to do the summer school and wished it could last longer! We were really impressed with the final performance, and the children looked so happy.

My son has only been attending for 4 weeks. He looks forward to Friday evenings & loves Ila. She's been so welcoming, supportive & encouraging. We've really seen his enthusiasm grow as well as his confidence after sessions. Unlike homework, he is keen to read & memorise lines, we are now starting to see more expression of his stage character as he's becoming more familiar with the show. It's been a joy to see! Huge thank you to the team.

Miranda has been nothing but outstanding! We were away for 2 weeks on holiday, but I witnessed something I'd not seen my daughter ever do. I signed her up for this as an outlet for her energy and dramatic sense of being, but also in the hope that her confidence may develop pre her school start in September. This week, I saw her actively initiate a conversation and invite to imaginative play with another child. I'm literally blown away by the Teams ability to engage with the children, and she LOVES it. The app is so professional and she adores watching the videos and singing the songs. It's quite literally one of the best things I've ever found for her to do, I couldn't be happier!

My son really enjoys collecting stickers for his poster and learning the songs at Perform. I really appreciate that the venue is secure, with the door locked, and the drop-off/pick-up system, both of which are so important for children’s safety these days. I also value that the teacher provides a debrief on what the children have been working on, and that the glass door allows me to peek in and see my child having fun.

Everything is very well organized, both on their website and through their emails, which makes the whole process seamless and easy to follow.

The quality of teaching is excellent, and the end-of-term shows are of a very high standard. I’m genuinely impressed!

My boys enjoy attending Perform. It has helped my eldest develop his confidence and is more open to trying new things. The boys love both Lewis and Maggie, they are a real credit to Perform.

My son can still feel nervous before heading to class, but as soon as he is there, he settles in quickly and absolutely loves it. He always comes home full of energy, happy, and already looking forward to the next session. It's been wonderful to see his enthusiasm grow—even developing an interest in reading music after noticing it in the script book.

I did not see a good value for money with these lessons. I cancelled the subscription for the next term a year ago. The company provided false dates for the term already paid for which meant that we ended up attending one session that we didn’t want to attend in the first place. The company refused to accept their error despite explaining and kept sending bills for one class. They even threatened me to send my details to the debt collectors which is ridiculous and unacceptable. I paid the balance today just so that I don’t have to see their name in my house or in my emails again. I felt coerced into paying and will be blocking them from all comms. Terrible experience.

My son loves attending these classes, it has given him a new confidence and learnt new skills, he runs in without even saying goodbye to me, his teacher is so friendly and enthusiastic, I love I can sit outside and relax and get to meet new parents also, a fabulous venue also.

When I asked my daughter if she had any feedback she said 'it takes the week too long to go by before I can go again' and that she wishes the sessions were longer so she wouldn't have to go home! It would be great if there were more holiday courses available in Ealing, and if these covered a longer day more suitable for working parents.
