WELCOME TO
FUNKY LEARNING WITH NICKIMessy Play Classes
Funky learning with Nicki – Messy Play sessions and creative opportunities for learning through play in multiple locations in Torfaen on a daily basis.
Birthday party packages in the comfort of your own location, home, or garden. I will provide all the activities and resources and provide your children with a variety of sensory activities, craft materials, and play options for your young child to explore.
My sessions are designed to engage your child and give them opportunities to try something different in a fun, safe, caring environment.
Sensory Play
At Funky Learning With Nicki, your child will be encouraged to use hands, fingers, feet, and toes to make marks which will help to strengthen their core muscles and develop their gross and fine motor skills.
We use Sensory play, painting, playdough, scribbling, dance, and more to encourage your children to learn early writing and other skills through play.
Classes, parties, and events are offered for 1 and a half hours daily from Monday to Thursday.
The skills they learn are vital for such things as holding and controlling a pencil and letter and number formation when they reach school

“We highly recommend Nicola to anyone seeking a skilled, caring, and dedicated English teacher.”
We are delighted to provide this reference for Nicola, who has been working with our son Roni on his English reading, writing, and literacy skills over the past 12 to 15 months. During this time, Roni has shown growth in both his abilities and confidence, thanks to Nicola’s guidance and her dedication.
Nicola has worked consistently to tailor each session to meet Roni’s needs. It is clear that her approach has made a significant impact. In just over a year, Roni’s reading and writing skills have improved significantly. He has moved from needing foundational support to engaging more independently and enthusiastically with reading and writing tasks. This has been reflected in his school performance which we have recently learned in Roni’s parent-teacher meeting. Nicola’s patience and ability to create a supportive learning environment have been key in nurturing Roni’s enjoyment of literacy.
Communication is a particular strength of Nicola’s. Each week, she has kept us well-informed of Roni’s progress. Nicola has taken the time to discuss the content of Roni’s weekly session with us. She has shared detailed insights into how Roni is developing, where he might need additional focus, and where he has made breakthroughs. Additionally, Nicola sends us photos and videos from Roni’s sessions, allowing us to observe his active participation firsthand. These updates mean a great deal to us. They help us stay connected to Roni’s learning journey and also celebrate his successes.
We are incredibly pleased with Roni’s progress under Nicola’s teaching. We feel confident that her approach has set a strong foundation for his continued growth in literacy. Her professionalism, dedication and regular communication make her an invaluable teacher, and we are grateful for the positive influence she has had on Roni’s development.
We highly recommend Nicola to anyone seeking a skilled, caring, and dedicated English teacher.
