LEYF nurseries to welcome drag queens for storytime

Children at London Early Years Foundation (LEYF) nurseries will be read stories by drag queens as part of project to spread a message of tolerance and kindness.

London Early Years Foundation (LEYF) has teamed up with Drag Queen Story Time (DQST) to connect children and drag queens through a programme of storytelling and interactive events.

The project, which aims to teach children of all ages to spread a message of tolerance and kindness, will take place across seven LEYF nurseries in London with a view to a wider rollout across its 37 early years settings in the future.

Activities such as storytime, a Halloween drag disco, face painting and high tea have all been confirmed.

Events scheduled so far will take place in the nursery group’s Peckham, Marylebone, Soho, Greenwich, Royal Oak, Oval and Bayswater settings, and will run on various dates until February 2018.
