These sensory experiences support early development while sparking curiosity, creativity and imagination.

Each class is thoughtfully designed to support your child’s growth while keeping sessions exciting, safe and stress-free – and we take care of all the clean-up, so you don’t have to!

“Best party ever! My daughter and her friends had the time of their lives. The setup was stunning, and the activities kept everyone entertained. Thank you for making her day so special!”

~ Emma T.

“By far our favourite messy play class we’ve been to! Staff are so so friendly and my baby girl has built up so much confidence in exploratory play over the months. Thank you so much for being so welcoming to a 6 month old and we can’t wait to continue getting messy!”

~ Kitty F.

“Messy Play is the most amazing class I have attended with my little one. Kate and her team are just the best in the business. Not only is the class such an amazing fun and a great learning space for little ones, but Kate and her team are also the most lovely bunch of women, who have such a genuine care for what they do.”

~ Sophie.

“My little girls absolutely adore messy play, Kate is a wonderful person and creative leader and I’m so glad we got a space to join in. I would highly recommend it to everyone!”

~ Felicity B.

“The team was amazing, and the kids loved every second of it. The fact that I didn’t have to clean up afterwards was the icing on the cake!”
