All About Mess it Up…

During the school term we offer weekly sessions at our headquarters in Currans Hill. This is our own space dedicated to play based learning and fun!

Our space has a range of different zones including a dedicated messy play zone, craft and playdough area, building zone, home corner, softplay zone and sensory space. We are also lucky ebough to have a fantastic outdoor space that has some great things for the children to explore!

Our messy play setups can sometimes be less messy and more sensory e.g. playdough, rice and bean play and craft. Some will be a little bit messy e.g. spaghetti, coconut and sand. Some will be super messy e.g. shaving cream, slime, and mud.

A few important things to note:

• They will get messy so please bring a change of clothes and a towel. Once the session is over its nice to pop on some fresh clothes to head home. Please also bring a bag to take the clothes home in.
• Our space is nut free.
• Try to have an open mind. Our sessions are probably unlike anything you have attended before. Just know we have made a safe environment for them to enjoy at their own pace.
• This is not a child minding service. Our sessions are child led but parent supervised and interactive.
