"I used to attend Funnybones with my son pre-Covid and was so pleased to see classes start again recently so my daughter could experience Rich's fantastic humour and music too. She absolutely loves it and asks every day if she can go! It's a great mix of music, dancing, musical instruments and fun & games, plus some humour for the adults. I'd definitely recommend."
"I have taken all four of my children to Funnybones so we have been attending for many years. They are the highlight of my three year olds week. It's such a fun & interactive class and all of my children have loved it. I highly recommend it as Rich is just fantastic and takes us on a musical adventure every time."
"We love Funnybones!! I first took my daughter when she was a few months old and now at 2.5 she loves it more than ever! She can't wait to get to class on Monday mornings and spends the week dancing and singing songs like Rich! We always feel so welcome and my daughter stays engaged the whole time dancing and singing away! Can't recommend enough! It's such a great fun clsss for children and adults too, I always find myself up on my feet dancing/singing..sometimes with just the other children and Rich!"
