Elaine Buckley, the dear lady behind this project, has already got the endorsement of several head teachers in Nottingham. All I can observe is that they must know more about working with young children than I do. These songs are banal while their performance is painfully perfunctory, sounding like an average mum playing "beebo" with their baby. Presumably though, that's the desired effect.

The children in our church under five's group love the songs
on this CD because the words are easy to hear and
understand, unlike other more frenetically performed CDs on
the market. Ms Buckley may sound like an average mum....but
what's the problem with that? Latest research shows that
parents are too shy to sing to their children (presumably
thinking they will be delivered a Simon Cowell-like
judgement?)..all the parents involved in our group feel able
to join in with the singing sessions. So perhaps some
people do know more about working with under fives that Mr
Cummings.
