Our amazing testimonials!

  • I can highly recommend Lucy and her company, J 4 Kids, for school MFL performances. From the very first communication, Lucy was so helpful and professional, making the whole process of organising her visit seemless and easy. Despite a long journey, Lucy and Ali arrived at school bang on time and were a joy to work with. They performed their French play for Key Stage 1 and 2 pupils, and it was fabulous. A super mix of French and English... read more

    Lucy and her fellow actor performed "Chasse Au Trésor" at my school for pupils in Y3-6. Email communication beforehand was excellent and the pupils loved the play. It was engaging, interactive and the language was clear and accessible. I would thoroughly recommend!

    We were delighted to welcome Lucy and Sara to our school to perform 'Au Musée' to our Key Stage 2 pupils. The performance was engaging, professional, perfectly pitched for the age of the pupils, and delivered relevant French language in a skilful and effective way. We would have no hesitation in recommending Joy4Kids and are hoping that they will return to us next year.

  • Lucy and Ligia performed their Spanish workshop ‘La Búsqueda del Tesoro’ this year in our school. Their show was dynamic, engaging and so entertaining! Children enjoyed it immensely (many actually thank us for bringing this extra activity to school). I highly recommend it as a great way to learn, practise and revise vocabulary while having fun.

    Joy 4 Kids came to our primary school to perform the French theatre play ‘Au Pays Des Lutins’. From the first enquiry the service was very professional and prompt. Lucy performed two shows, one for KS1 the other for KS2 and they were pitched perfectly. There were a multitude of opportunities for different volunteers to participate and the whole performance is geared toward the pupils speaking as much French as possible. Lucy was an absolute pleasure to work with and... read more

    What a pleasure to have had Lucy and Beatrice performing their French Theatre Play "Chasse au trésor" in our school this month. Their energy and enthusiasm are fantastic and their show is very engaging and inspiring for students learning Foreign Languages. Our students loved having this opportunity to learn and practise French outside of the classroom, in a beautiful and interactive performance they won't forget! Thanks a lot ladies 🙂

  • Lucy and Beatrice came to our school with their French show 'Chasse au Trésor' and what a treat that was! Our Year 6 children absolutely loved it! It was pitched at the perfect level in terms of the French, and the children said afterwards that they were amazed at all the French they were able to speak during the show. Well done to Lucy and Beatrice for engaging our budding linguists in such a fun and interactive way. We will... read more
