Each day includes:

a relaxed collaborative art project to settle into the morning and connect with each other
a hands-on making experience with a range of recycled + art materials
mini projects
plenty of opportunities for children to make their own choices, supporting confidence & agency
time and resources to play & recharge
a gentle wind-down activity
guided reflection at the end of the session to solidify learnings

Open-ended, child-led and deeply creative. No instructions or perfection needed, just your child’s imagination and willingness to play.

Additional Learning & Support Needs. Our programme is designed to support a wide range of learners. If your child requires extra assistance, we encourage the involvement of a parent, guardian, or support person during sessions. This ensures every child can fully benefit from the experience.

Designed for every child who loves making, crafting and tinkering.

Bring snacks, a water bottle and clothes that can get creatively messy!
