  • Join us for Create Club on (most!) Friday mornings, specifically for 8-12 year olds. Each week we visit a different artist or theme to learn about their history or learn a new creative skill.

    Every project is thoughtfully crafted to be both engaging and age-appropriate, with plenty of room for imagination. These sessions are perfect for young artists who love to create, explore and engage in cross-curricular learning through art.

    Due to limited space, this is a drop-off session. However, there is seating in the reception area, should you wish to stay onsite.

    1:1 Creative Enrichment sessions also available.

  • "My daughter loves Lauren's club. Lauren is kind and patient which makes a huge difference, especially for my daughter who thrives with encouragement and a supportive environment. It’s lovely to see creativity and self-belief growing, and that’s down to the calm, positive atmosphere Lauren has created."

  • "Lauren is fantastic, both of my kids attended their first Home Ed class today and had a fab time. I explained my son's anxieties and Lauren was so accommodating and helpful. We will be sure to attend more upcoming classes."

  • "Highly recommend That Kid Life. My son and daughter are so looking forward to going to this art club every week. They get to learn about different subjects and methods of art and artists as well, not just making something creative crafts. Also they had an exhibition with their works, it was my son’s first ever exhibition that was impressive, a great opportunity of building confidence and expressing themselves. Lastly Lauren who runs this club is well connected with children, we are very happy!"
