Our mission here at Northern Arts Factory is to nurture your children’s confidence so that they blossom, learn and shine. From their earliest days, children have a natural urge to dance, sing and perform.
We will empower your child by creating a safe space for all children to experiment whilst having fun, to make mistakes without judgement, to value perseverance and work together, helping each other be the best they can be.
