Loved our holiday clubs? Join us after school this September! Hello, With summer in full swing, have you started thinking about your childcare plans for September? The children have been absolutely loving our holiday clubs this year — we think they may be our best yet! We have received such wonderful feedback from children and parents, with children telling us: “I can’t wait to come again!” “This is the best club ever!” “I love how we can make whatever we like!” But d

A bug hotel made by Naya At The Crafty Club & Parties, we believe some of the best learning happens when children are given simple materials, a challenge and the freedom to create. This week at our after-school club, our theme was Helping Nature. Instead of buying expensive craft kits, we collected everyday recyclable materials and transformed them into something truly special. The children created: 🌸 Flower Gardens 🐞 Bug Hotels 🧚 Fairy Houses 🐦 Bird Houses Each creation

When people think of learning, they often imagine children sitting at a table, completing worksheets or practising letters and numbers. While these activities certainly have their place, research consistently shows that play is one of the most effective ways children learn and develop (Bruce, 2011; Welsh Government, 2024). Through play, children aren't simply having fun—they are building confidence, solving problems, developing friendships and learning skills that will benefi

Looking for a fun, engaging and stress-free activity for your school, nursery, family event, corporate open day or community celebration? At The Crafty Club & Parties, we bring creativity directly to you with our colourful, hands-on workshops designed to inspire children, families and adults alike. Whether you're planning a school enrichment day, museum event, wedding children's entertainment, festival or corporate family fun day, our workshops are carefully tailored to suit

Every Child Deserves the Opportunity to Thrive Every child is unique. They learn, communicate and experience the world differently. For children with Additional Learning Needs (ALN), the right support, understanding and environment can make a huge difference to their confidence, wellbeing and success. At The Crafty Club & Parties, we believe inclusion isn't about changing the child—it's about adapting activities and environments so every child feels welcomed, valued and able

Welcome to Crafty Sundays — our weekly creative series sharing fun, simple crafts families can enjoy at home! 💛 This week’s make is inspired by Chinese New Year and our iconic Welsh Dragon. It’s a fiery recycled craft using an egg carton and lots of imagination. This is the same dragon craft we’re making in our after-school clubs and holiday clubs, so children can recreate the magic at home too! 🐲 What You’ll Need 1 egg carton cup (or section of an egg box) Red paint Paintb

Creative days, calm support, and spaces where children can thrive As February half term approaches, many parents start asking the same questions: Will my child enjoy it? Will they cope with a full day? Will they feel safe, understood, and included? At The Crafty Club, half term isn’t about rushing children through activities or expecting them all to work in the same way. It’s about creativity, calm support, and giving children the space to be themselves. Some children dive s

People often ask what makes The Crafty Club different. It’s not just the crafts. It’s not just the planning. It’s not just the structure. It’s the understanding — the kind you don’t learn from a textbook, but from real life. True inclusion isn’t about forcing children to “fit in.”It’s about adapting the environment, the expectations, and the adults so children feel safe, understood, and confident to be themselves. In real life, inclusive support looks like: A child who strugg

When I think about the magic that happens during a creative workshop or a themed party, it’s not just the crafts or the laughter that sticks with me. It’s the feeling that every child belongs, every voice is heard, and every imagination is valued. That’s the true power of inclusive educational approaches. They transform ordinary moments into unforgettable experiences where children grow, connect, and shine together. Why Inclusive Educational Approaches Matter Inclusive educat

After 28 days of sunshine (okay, and a few Welsh showers!), glitter, slime, candy floss, and endless creativity — we’ve officially wrapped up our biggest summer yet at The Crafty Club. The children who joined us this summer were nothing short of incredible. They brought energy, laughter, and so many ideas that we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better group. Thank you to all the families who supported us — your children truly made our summer magical. 💛 Exciting Plans for

When I first discovered the power of a holistic educational approach, it felt like unlocking a treasure chest. Imagine a learning experience that doesn’t just focus on reading, writing, and arithmetic but also nurtures creativity, emotional intelligence, and social skills. That’s the magic we aim to create at The Crafty Club and Parties. And the secret ingredient? STEAM education. By blending Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths into our activities, we create rich,

When you think of crafts, you probably picture glitter, glue, and giggles. But at The Crafty Club, our parties and clubs do so much more. Behind the slime and sparkle, children are building confidence, friendships, and creativity that last long after the party ends. Parents often tell us their children can’t stop talking about our clubs and parties. While the slime, tie-dye, and glitter are always a huge hit, the real magic is what’s happening underneath. Why Crafts Are More

If your child’s birthday falls close to Christmas, you’re probably all too familiar with the challenges: packed schedules, fewer RSVPs, and birthday presents wrapped in festive paper. Sound familiar? You’re not alone! I know this firsthand. My son, turning 4 this year, celebrates his birthday just two days before Christmas. To make it special, we visit a Christmas show and Winter Wonderland as a family. But we save his big celebration with friends for later—so he gets the pr
