Amazing, educational, musical fun

We had the pleasure of having Mango tree kids come in for a drumming session. The session was engaging, educational, and incredibly fun for all the children. They had a wonderful way of connecting with the kids. The drumming activities were perfectly tailored to the age group, with simple rhythms that the children could easily follow along with. Both entertaining and educational. The children not only learned about what type of drum and rhythms but also about working together as a group. It was amazing to see them develop their coordination and listening skills while having a great time. Overall, the drumming session was a huge hit! It was a wonderful blend of music, education, and fun that left the children beaming with joy. We can't wait to have them back for another session.

Excellent session!

We arrange a session of best the stress away for our staff team.
We manage a busy nursery setting with 30+ staff and I can confidently say that the benefit of this session for our staff was invaluable.
As a Deputy Manager with oversight over a large team, I can not recommend Mangotree enough!
We have even booked the 7 week course for a group of our children!!

Djembe Drum Sessions!

Our daughter has adored her Djembe drumming sessions courtesy of Mango Tree Kids at her pre-school/nursery. She has learned so much from their sessions and she has spoken so fondly of Catherine and team. It was great to see what they have been learning in their showcase

Enriching, inspiring, fun and inclusive! 😁

Mangotree Kids have delivered such enriching and exciting sessions for the 2 & 3 year olds at our nursery - every child has been so engaged and excited and have made great progress in just a few weeks. One particular child was tentative to participate at first but the wonderful Catherine and fantastic Drummer Man worked so hard to involve and encourage them over the weeks, now this child really looks forward to each drumming session and has so much fun. This has been beautiful to watch and we are so grateful for the enthusiasm and effort they put in to making sure every child has a great experience! We can’t wait to showcase what we have learnt to our children’s parents 🤩❤️

Spent the day at the Nursery World…

Spent the day at the Nursery World Exhibition today at the London Design Centre, and shopped at this stall. We bought 5 books at a discounted price and some beautiful fabric! Lovely knowledgeable lady who served us, we have bought from here before and highly recommend their products!

We have been having Cultural sessions…

We have been having Cultural sessions from Mangotree kids for many years. They are brilliant at engaging the children with drumming sessions and igniting their imagination by transporting them just for a while to Kenya. How would I describe Mangotree? Lively, entertaining and fun!

Wonderful, inclusive, fun

Catherine led a wonderfully inclusive and fun drumming session, getting everyone involved in a tricky setting. The kids loved the call and response format and the beat took over for many. A great way to explore other cultures. Highly recommend.

Fab birthday party

We went to an amazing birthday party drumming workshop by. What an incredible cultural experience!
Catherine and the 'Drummer Man' were brilliant at engaging all of the children and capturing/holding the attention of a large group of 4 & 5 year olds.
Great storytelling, rhythms and lots of fun!

Would highly recommend for a party or preschool/school workshop

Superb experience

My year 2 daughter very much enjoyed her African Drumming with Mango Tree Kids. They put on a short after school performance for the parents and it was great fun. Since then we have looked up some similar music to dance to at home. Would very much recommend. Whilst my daughter is very confident in 1 on 1 settings, she tends to be a little shy during performances so I was thrilled to see her front and centre beaming away. Fabulous experience for Yarborough.

Perfect for all pupils

Mango Tree Kids came to our school today and did several workshops for our EYFS and SEN children. The workshops were wonderful and engaged all pupils. Our Reception children joined in the sessions with attention and enjoyment. The sessions were captivating and fully sensory. We will definitely be booking them in for a return visit, and hopefully next time we will also include the wellbeing drumming meditation for staff!

What an incredible organisation

What an incredible organisation. Mango Tree Kids came to our hospital today and delivered a wellbeing Jolly Djembe session for our children, staff and parents on one of our wards. The trip to Kenya was fantastic, the drummer boy and Catherine created a fun and comfortable environment for all to join in. They took us on a journey through drumming and our imagination and provided us with props which was amazing! Ended on a meditation which left everyone feeling relaxed and happy. Can't wait to have another session!
