About me
Hello, I’m Aisha! I am very excited to bring Little Learners mark-making and messy play classes to North West Kent!
I am a qualified teacher and Early Years specialist. I’m a huge advocate of learning through play in the EYFS and the benefits of this to a child’s social and physical development. It is by far the best (and obviously most fun!) way to learn. This is what we offer in our Little Learners Messy Play Classes in North West Kent! All our messy play activities are dairy free, nut free, and non-toxic too to ensure peace of mind for all and that no child is left out of an activity!
I deliver these multi-award winning children’s classes at halls in Bexleyheath, Crayford, as well as for local schools, charities and councils in Dartford and surrounding areas.. We’re all about supporting children to develop their mark-making (pre-writing) skills through educational messy play, gross and fine motor activities and lots of creativity!
Follow me on Facebook and Instagram to be the first to know about our classes and events!
Party Packages
Did you know we offer Little Learners birthday party packages? We tailor these to your needs and your child’s interests, whether that be Frozen, Marvel Superheroes or Peppa Pig!
Our party packages combine all the exciting elements of our award winning mark making and messy play classes with a personalised birthday theme for your little one. Our ‘cake smashes’ are very popular for babies parties!
The party room typically will be set up with (themed) messy trays, sensory play, painting and drawing stations, play dough, crafts and dance area.
Your party can be set up at a venue of your choice (including your garden!) – with (themed) messy trays, sensory play, painting and drawing stations, play dough, crafts and dance area. We have a couple of party packages to choose from, including our most requested one where we bring everything required, deliver the session and clear up all the mess afterwards.
Drop me an email at aisha@littlelearnersuk.com to discuss the party packages, ideas, or any questions you may have.
Workshops for Schools
I provide school and nursery workshops for your children! Email me to find out more about my schools and nurseries packages.
Messy play with Aisha has really helped my little boy become more confident, learn about school and playing with others. The class is beautifully set up for the children with a lovely atmosphere.
I can’t recommend for little ones enough. So much fun and creativity, you can really see how much effort Aisha goes to to make her class so special. Booked into 3 summer classes too. Can’t wait!
