Notes

Sessions are currently available in the Belper area of Derbyshire and are suitable for children from 18 months to 5 years.

Due to limited places, booking in advance is recommended and for a half (6 weeks) or full term (12 weeks with one session free) only. We offer a taster session if you are a little unsure if it is right for your little one, please give us a ring to book a session. You may also be able to join mid term if spaces are available, give us a ring first to check.

£3.75 for the first child and

Arts, crafts and lots of messy play in a safe and clean environment. Our emphasis is on getting involved and enjoying the process of being creative. Being messy is part of that process, part of the fun and parents and carers needn't worry about clearing up afterwards.

Our themed activities include a wide range of tactile and messy activities as well as the more traditional arts, painting, glitter etc. There are things to create and take home, and group activities to develop your child's social skills. It's also a great way for parents and carers to meet and get to know one another.

We're an independent group and we tailor the activities to suit the children in terms of age, ability and what they have enjoyed in the past. We aim to build good relationships with the children and parents and this really helps us with feeding back into planning and running the sessions. We feel there's a friendly atmosphere for everybody, as parents and children do the activities together and socialise with others who come to the same session each week.

Classes are planned and run by a qualified teacher and both Dawn and Gill have completed a full CRB check.  We also have full PLA.
