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 Pytchley Village Hall, Kettering on Fridays from 10:30am. You can still book on for the rest of term or casual spaces are just £9 each. Every class focuses on meeting a different ‘Mark Maker’ character through movement, dance, song and of course… messy play!

Join us this December for our festive Christmas specials! We’ll be getting messy and making marks with our favourite festive friends like Rudolph and Father Christmas! We’ll be getting messy in the snow and making our own festive Christmas light pictures! I might even have some sweet treats for those joining the fun! You can join us at Norton Village Hall on Wednesday 11th at 10:30am or at Pytchley Village Hall on Friday 13th at 10:30am.

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
