Who we are

Hello, I'm Karen and I run the Jo Jingles franchise in Hitchin, Letchworth and surrounding villages in North Herts.

I have worked as a Jo Jingles class teacher since November 2004 and in 2007 I took over the franchise which I love dearly. I have tremendous fun at classes and the rewards from teaching the children are priceless.

When I'm not "jingling", I am married to Nigel and have two children, Oliver and Sophie. I have always enjoyed playing my piano & clarinet (though a bit rusty on the clarinet these days!) Music plays a large part in our house and Jo Jingles fits perfectly!

Sarah

Sarah is our class teacher in Hitchin & Shefford. She has three young children of her own. She has worked as a deputy head of a private nursery, lived in France for a while, and is heavily involved with our local MAMA group. She certainly knows how to have fun with the children.

And a “Hello” from Jo

Jo is the heart and soul of our classes. He is extremely friendly and actively participates in all of our classes. At the start of each session he welcomes all children with a smile, a wave and a cuddle. Then he might sing or dance or pretend to be a train driver, a monkey or even a teapot.

Sometimes he hides and we have to look for him. Sometimes he falls asleep and he needs some help to wake up. Sometimes he is shy and we have to encourage him to join in with the fun. But he always makes time for plenty of hugs and kisses when it’s time for the children to say goodbye.
