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.
