Wow! This class is absolutely fantastic. It is so stimulating for little ones. It is without a doubt the best baby/toddler activity I have ever been to with my daughter. It’s a super friendly environment and Lorna’s creativity and enthusiasm really brings something special to the class. We loved it - thank you Lorna :)

What an absolutely fantastic class, we love our Tuesday mornings! The messy play is just great & the class is so well planned, resourced & organised. Also lovely to come away with something each week. Thanks Lorna xxx

We love Arty Adventurers! My little boy is always really excited to go and I love how relaxed the sessions are. We have so much fun every week and it's lovely to see him develop throughout the term while he just enjoys getting messy! Fab 😊 x

We have just finished our first term at arty adventurers and we have both loved our Friday afternoons with Lorna . The classes are brilliant and vary every week . We can't wait to start the next term

This is a brilliant class and I'm so pleased that we can be a part of it!

My little one has quite a few allergies and week in week out Lorna accommodates these so seamlessly that I doubt that anyone has a clue what's going on. In the past we have had separate stations and felt very excluded, as well as paranoid about cross-contamination. What Lorna does is an absolute feat and a wonderful example of what can and should be done - thank you so much, it's greatly appreciated!

The Arty Adventurers classes are wonderful! Something different every week to make, see and touch. Kit is a very busy little boy by nature but the relaxed atmosphere of the classes allows him to be himself and have great, messy fun! We love it! 😊

Such a well planned and organised experience. We totally loved the structure and well thought out activities!!! Thanks for a superb time!

Really enjoyed the Christmas party! The crafts and thought into each station was brilliant!

My son started baby Adventurers at 6 months old and he's loved every class, he gets so excited when we walk in. Everyone in the group is really friendly, especially Lorna who runs the class. The different themes and variety of activity and free play each week is really really good, with even the youngest babies fully involved in their Arty creations! The rest of the family look forward to seeing what he's made each week. I would highly recommend the class

My son hasn’t started Arty Adventurers until being 13 months old but he absolutely loves it. We have been going to the baby session and it is great for any age baby and there is a wide range of ages in his group. Varied activities each week and plenty of messy fun �

My Daughter Madison started Arty adventurers at 6mths old she absolutely loves it, as do I!! Her little face when she is allowed to get messy is such a delight to see!! Booking on for the next term and cannot wait. Will highly recommend this to friends/family. Well done Lorna on such a great venture!!

I have been going to Arty Explorers for about a year now with my twin boys, I have seen them develop so much from this class, they love to be there and explore all the class has to offer. I can’t compare this class with any others, it’s just brill, everything is thought about from tiny details to links with each book we read. Having twins can be tricky going to classes but here there is so much to keep them busy and Lorna would always help if needed. Thanks for such lovely memories Arty Explorers! �

I brought my 1 year old for the first time this week and she absolutely loved it! There was so much to do, see, touch and play with. You can tell a lot of time and effort goes in to making the sessions interesting and fun. Being the only Dad amongst 20 mothers I felt extremely welcomed, it was a lovely atmosphere. Lorna was enthusiastic, engaging and you could see all parents and babies were having a great time. Taking a little hand made gift home is a lovely touch. We can't wait to go again next week! �

Harry and Phoebe have loved all of their Arty Adventurers classes so much so we have booked for their birthday party!! Harry is always excited to show his daddy what he has made in each session 😊



We are looking forward to the next term! Xx

First class place to acquire new ideas for malleable and messy play

Fabulous class (for both babies & Mums!)... the first we have really enjoyed and look forward to. All the babies appear to enjoy getting messy in their super cute boiler suits, and I absolutely love that we take a masterpiece home each week that we can gift Daddy with. We are on our second term, and for me, that's a miracle!

Brilliant class lots of fun, our 2 1/2 year old loves it and so do we. Would highly recommend, fantastic idea to have a class on a Saturday so both parents can participate, my husband like many, would otherwise miss out on experiencing these precious fun moments and as we all know they grow up so fast! Thank you xx

Brilliant class for little ones! My daughter absolutely loves the messy play activity in the middle of class! Really lovely that we get to bring something home that she has made each week too! xx

Brilliant Winter term at Arty Adventurers we don’t miss a session! The snow machine was a lovely treat today it felt very Christmassy � �Thank you Lorna, Emily loves your sessions can’t wait for next term xx
