Helen, is mum of two, author, storyteller, Early Years drama practitioner and a graduate of Oxford University. Passionate about enabling children to live stories actively; she is the founder of Animateys. 
Charlie is a professional actor, specialising in Shakespearean texts who has turned his hand to presenting to children for Animateys! His humour and joy for life is infectious and the children adore him.

The talented Christine, AKA Helen's amazing mum illustrates all the stories in watercolours providing a really magical storybook feel to them. It's  perhaps this mix of traditional and digital that makes Animateys so super special!

Who we are

We are an author/storyteller, an artist/teacher and and actor.

We have created an online educational platform that empowers schools, nurseries and parents.

Nurseries and schools are enabled to run professional standard drama workshops with no planning, and without the need for expensive & inflexible external practitioners.

Parents can provide their children with healthy screen time: keeping children active, engaged & learning.
