About this day nursery

Arty Party London, established over 28 years ago by husband and wife team John and Julia, offers inspirational arts and crafts workshops for children aged 5-11. John, a glass artist with a BA Hons in 3D Design, and Julia, who holds a BA Hons in Fine Art Painting, lead a dedicated team of aspiring artists.

The team is carefully selected for their ability to foster creativity and engage children, always prioritising their needs. All staff are DBS checked, in line with Ofsted regulations.

The workshops, which take place during school holidays, after-school clubs, and in schools, focus on teaching fine art in a fun and accessible way, using high-quality materials. Arty Party aims to develop children's hand-eye coordination, observation skills, and visual memory through creative expression, referencing both contemporary and historical artists, and drawing inspiration from diverse cultures.
