Toddlers exploring messy play stations at a Mini Makers class

Mini Makers

Ages 1–5

£5 per child on arrival · Thursdays 10–11am

Our Mini Makers class offers a fun and engaging space for children to explore a different theme each week through messy play and hands-on activities. Each session features a variety of structured stations designed to encourage creativity, sensory exploration, and independent discovery. Children can move freely between activities at their own pace, supported by their parents in a safe and welcoming environment.

With a focus on open-ended play rather than instruction, Mini Makers is perfect for little ones who love to get messy, explore new textures, and express themselves through play. A great way to learn and have fun together!
