We can cater to an assortment of ages for our bespoke themed parties so no one is left out!

06/01/2023

Did you know that all of our parties are bespoke to you!

One of the things we plan with parents, particularly for our under 5s, is whether they want a party that is entirely lead or would prefer something free flow.

For our babies, toddlers and preschoolers you may prefer to keep direction to a minimum with only some at the beginning and end. This means we will set up lots of fun themed activities that they are able to dip in and out of such as messy trays, paint stations and crafts whilst we facilitate play.

What theme would your little one ask for?

05/01/2023
04/01/2023

I know this is super duper early but...would there be any interest in Easter Craft Boxes this year?

To ensure we would have enough stock we would be taking pre-orders in February. The post is just to gauge interest.

£10 per box, packed full of lovely Easter and Spring crafts. This was one from a couple of years ago to give you an idea but please note the contents will be different.

Crafty Newborn is perfect to spend some quality time with your baby whilst also meeting other local parents. You will create 2 beautiful keepsakes to take home and treasure whilst we are on hand with inspiration, to help take those tiny foot prints and for general baby cuddling if you want some time to add those special touches!

Did I mention that a hot drink is also included! ☕

As we were shortlisted for Mumbler party provider of the year we got sent all of the lovely comments that you guys made! 🥰

Small businesses rely on word of mouth as we don't have huge marketing budgets and parents want to hear what other parents think so thank you so much!
