Hi I'm Geraldine...
The one thing we care deeply about at Theatretrain Hitchin is making sure every child feels welcomed, supported and comfortable from day one.
Our 6-Point Right Fit Guarantee
1. Your child will be properly welcomed
From the moment you arrive, your child won’t just be left to figure it out. We’ll help them settle, know where they’re going and feel looked after.
2. Nervous is normal
Shy, quiet or clingy children are absolutely not the first we’ve met. We know starting can feel big, and we’ll do all we can to help them feel comfortable.
3. A taster should feel like the real thing
Your child gets a proper Theatretrain experience, so you can genuinely see if it feels right, not a watered-down version.
4. No pressure if it's not for you
If your child tries it and it’s not the right fit, that’s okay. No pushy follow-up. No awkwardness.
5. We notice the individual child
Not just the confident ones. Not just the loud ones. We work hard to make sure every child feels included, encouraged and supported.
6. We’ll always be honest
If we genuinely feel Theatretrain isn’t the right place for your child right now, we’ll tell you. Because this has to be right for your child, not just right for us.
