Fornalik, Ms Alicja (Little Music Academy Childcare)

Little Music Academy Childcare is an extraordinary place where your children will learn to love music and discover various talents. We offer places for children from 1 to 5 years old, in our warm, homely atmosphere of joy and fun, where your children will be preparing themselves for primary school. My name is Alicja Fornalik (childminder) and I work with my husband Adam who is my assistant and also a professional musician. Together we have two beautiful daughters. We are bilingual and speak English and Polish. At Little Music Academy Childcare a special emphasis is put on individualism, a desire to learn, discovery and creativity, which are so essential for every child. Only in our setting do children have the unique opportunity to participate in special music activities, which involve eurythmics (rhythmical music sessions with musician), vocal sessions, individual piano lessons, dancing, drama and lots more. We also organise musical family events each term, where children will entertain parents, showing what they have learnt since their last performance. We are open all year round and accept funding and childcare vouchers. We also have vacancies for school children during the school holidays.
