“This book is an attractive resource to have on your shelf. It is fun, easy to use
and compliments the ’Early Years Foundation Stage’. Any member of staff can pick
up the book and use it with a group of children, from babies to pre-school age children.
They have the comfort of knowing they have met the development needs and interests
of the children. It is a very good lending tool for parents, as a way for them to
become involved with their child’s learning. The book is fantastic for those who
may not be confident with using instruments or singing. Our children have become
very creative since having regular ‘Mini Minstrels’ sessions, they love the ‘Hello’
and ‘Goodbye’ songs and it has been heart warming to watch our children grow in confidence
and ability to join in with a group and become the creative, confident, rhythmic
children at our day care setting”.
