About Me

Laura Mutlow

laura@littlelearnersuk.com

My name is Laura and I’m very excited to bring fun, creative, educational messy play events and classes to families across Northamptonshire.

After teaching for 15+ years, I’ve made a career change! I was looking for something that means I can be around for my two little boys as much as possible but also something that enables me to use my teaching skills and experience. I live in Northampton and have taken both of my boys to local messy play classes but now I can’t wait to plan some interactive, sensory fun for your little ones which will nurture and encourage their early writing skills.

You can join us at Norton Village Hall, Daventry on Wednesday mornings from 10:30-11:15am or at Tigers Indoor Play, Kettering on Fridays from 10:30am-11:15am. Termly tickets are available but you can also book casual classes for £8.50 each. Sibling and twin discounts are available. Classes at Tigers Indoor Play even include 45 minutes of soft play after every class! Each week we focus on meeting a different ‘Mark Maker’ character through movement, dance, song and of course… messy play!

Birthday Parties!

Did you know we offer messy play birthday party packages too?

Prices start from £80 and we have two different options available! I can either set up, stay and tidy up for you or you can have the party set up and then I’ll come back and collect the equipment later! A range of party sizes can be accommodated and it can all be personalised to your chosen theme.

If you’d like to see some example birthday party tuff trays and activities please visit my Instagram page. Or if you’d like more information about my messy play party packages and prices, please email me at Laura@Littlelearnersuk.com
