At ARTventurers, we LOVE getting children involved in art at an early age â which is why our classes are specially designed for the little artists aged 6 months plus. Art has SO many benefits â from squishing and squidging in paint to explore colours and textures, learning about the world around us, developing fine and gross motor skills, making friends and building confidence.
The aim of all of the ARTventurers sessions is to nurture and develop a childâs creativity by providing them with the opportunities, guidance, inspiration and materials to explore, experiment and express themselves through a range of colourful art and creative activities. PLUS all of our activities and sessions for preschool age children are carefully planned to support the Early Learning goals and in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage.
All children are individual and the free flow element of our ARTventurers classes recognises this â all of the children can explore and create at their own pace and in their own time. A jam packed session of colourful, creative (and often messy) fun!!
Iâd love for you and your little one to join us!

9 months – 2 years is the age range we see our little ones develop from sitting to crawling to walking, babbling away in their own language.
In these sessions we aim to build the confidence of each individual, develop motor skills and coordination and hopefully build on their love of music and dancing – we use a variety of different resources, instruments and visual aids to keep their attention (and give the grown ups a bit of a work out too).

Price Freeze:Â The MBCD team care greatly about each and every family that joins them, understanding the rise in cost of living and the recent pandemic, they are freezing prices for the foreseeable future and havenât increased the cost of their classes since September 2017.
Class Flexibility: The MBCD team understand that some parents and carers work shifts, or that from time to time something can come up that prevents families attending class. While classes cannot be rolled over and deducted from next term, they offer super flexibility by enabling classes to be reclaimed by attending any other class in the same week, or alternatively the class can be gifted to a friend or family member. Shift workers are accommodated by having classes on 4 days of the week for toddlers and 3 days per week for babies. Parents can switch between classes according to the shift pattern week by week.Â

The journey to becoming a strong swimmer takes time and patience. Each child will achieve their goals in their own time, and they shouldnât be rushed or forced into to activities theyâre not ready for. The Swimbabes course is designed to let each child develop at a pace theyâre comfortable, whilst always challenging them. The key to development at this early stage is repetition of success, reinforcing verbal instructions and ensuring longer term awareness of water safety and confidence.
