Why choose us?
Your child is in safe hands
We know trust matters most. That's why every leader is DBS-checked, experienced, and trained in paediatric first aid. We keep our ratios low so every child gets the attention they deserve. Safeguarding is at the heart of everything we do — so you can relax, and they can have fun.
The people behind the creativity
Kerry and Suzie founded Magpie Makes in 2014 bringing together a background in graphic design, branding, and years of working with children in schools. Their skills complement each other perfectly, but what really unites them is a genuine love of working with children.
Every member of our team shares that same passion, with creative or teaching backgrounds — and it shows.
Creativity matters more than ever
In a world shaped by AI, creative thinking is your child's superpower. Imagining, making, and problem-solving in the real world builds confidence, resilience, and original thought — skills no algorithm can replicate.
Nurturing creativity now gives children the tools to thrive in a future we can't yet predict.
A space made for making
Our bright, colourful studio is designed with children in mind — inspiring creativity from the moment they walk in. With space for 22, a self-contained setup, and a lovely green outdoor area for breaks during holiday camps, it's a place where children feel relaxed and ready to create.
Add in air conditioning and off-street parking, and it's easy for families
Children's creative party
They’ll come home with more than a painting
Creativity builds real confidence, resilience, and problem-solving skills. You can feel good knowing they're having fun and growing at the same time. And if they love it they’ll want to come back, that’s the real measure... when you’re child walks out buzzing with excitement, asking when they can come again, you’ll know you made the right choice.
