𝗚𝗼𝗼𝗱𝗯𝘆𝗲, 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗝𝗲𝗻𝗻𝘆 ❤️

After 3 amazing years, it’s time for me to say goodbye to Messy Little Minds.

I’ve absolutely loved doing this with Rach — we’ve had the best time, made so many memories and definitely created more mess than I could ever count 😂

We started Messy Little Minds when I was 6 months pregnant with Ollie, so he’s been part of it from the very beginning — from being tucked under the table at just weeks old, to now exploring the trays without needing his mummy! He’s been so lucky to grow up enjoying it all ❤️ Now he’s heading off to nursery, my work commitments are changing and sadly my Messy Little Minds days have come to an end.

I’m so grateful to every family, school, nursery and group who has booked with us and supported us over the last three years.

But 𝗠𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘆 𝗟𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗶𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗴𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲! Rach is back with her pop-up sessions, which are already nearly fully booked 🙌 So there’s plenty more mess to come!

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗮 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 — 𝗹𝗼𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗺𝗲𝘀𝘀, 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝘂𝗴𝗵𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 ❤️

Goodbye from me,
𝗝𝗲𝗻𝗻𝘆 𝘅𝘅

Before ➡️ After... and every single bit of the mess was worth it! 🌈✨

Messy play isn't just about making a mess—it's where real learning takes place 💛

From strengthening little hands and developing fine motor skills to encouraging creativity, problem-solving, sensory exploration, and imagination - every spaghetti strand, scoop, snip, and sprinkle has a purpose!

The setup might look picture perfect... but the "after" is where the magic really happens 🪄

Now for the important question... 🤔

How long do you think it took for this beautifully organised tray to end up looking like the second photo? 😂👇

Under the sea 🐠🫧🌊

A fully booked class this week and what a gorgeous morning we had! Thank you so much to everyone who joined us — we loved seeing so many little explorers splashing, scooping, creating and getting messy 💙

The sunshine finally looks like it’s here to stay too ☀️🙌 and this Wednesday we’re heading outside again for our Teddy Bears Picnic theme 🧸🧺

Think:
🫧 messy play trays
🧸 a teddy bear obstacle course
☀️ outdoor play
🫧 bubbles, water play & lots of mess
🤎 a relaxed, friendly space for little ones to play and explore

And don’t forget to bring a teddy along for the fun…but maybe not your favourite 😉🧸

🦋🐛The sun showed up, the mess stayed outside and the little explorers had the BEST morning 🐞🌤️

Thank you so much to everyone who came along — we had such a great turnout and loved seeing so many little explorers enjoying all the messy fun! We even managed to make it outside and stay dry for 99% of the class 🌤️🙌🏻

There are now only 3 weekly messy play classes left before we hit the pause button on our weekly sessions for a while, so if you’ve been meaning to come along, now’s your chance 💛

💫This Maternal Mental Health Month, we celebrate the strength, love, and resilience of mamas everywhere 💛

We spend so much of our lives pouring into others, but even the strongest mamas deserve rest, support, healing, and care too.

A gentle reminder: putting yourself first isn’t selfish — it’s necessary. Your mental health matters. Your wellbeing matters. And taking care of yourself allows you to continue showing up as the incredible mummy you are!

To every mama carrying so much behind the scenes: you are seen, appreciated, and deeply valued. 🌷

Take time for you! 💕
