“The Creation Station has really helped Owen develop lots of skills. He is a lot more confident in what he creates, and the weekly classes have helped his concentration and the ability to share. It’s also given us more ideas of activities to together at home and when we are out and about. Thank you very much, Owen and I love coming" Owens Daddy

Using art, craft music & movement…and a little bit of magic, the children (and parents/carers!) are inspired to create their own journey of discovery. The mark making, funky objects and learning that develops is shared and enjoyed with the other children and adults. See some of our activities on our site.

Sport Music and Fun for the Very Young

Teddy Tennis is a curriculum based sport education programme that inspires children aged 2½ to 6 years to get active and learn to play tennis. It works by combining music, pictures and teddy bear characters into a totally interactive learning adventure that young children love.

Teddy Tennis is marketed worldwide as a franchise and is sold to coaches, clubs and entrepreneurs who will subsequently teach Teddy Tennis at local sports & tennis clubs, pre-schools, day care centres and nurseries.

What makes Teddy Tennis special is that it’s teaching system has been developed using the Visual Auditory Kinesthetic (VAK) accelerated learning style:

- Visual Learners are those who learn by looking
- Auditory Learners are those that learn by listening
- Kinesthetic Learners are those who learn best through physical activity

Applying the VAK multi-sensory learning approach to teaching has proved to be very effective, particularly for young children so when they play Teddy Tennis, they see it, they hear it, they do it… and they really get it… and they LOVE it too!

In 2017 Teddy Soccer and Teddy Cricket will join Teddy Tennis as alternative sport education programmes for young children.

Open Classes – Weekends and Holidays

The Best Club ever!!!! That’s how my daughter describes Smart Raspberry Cookery School. The Saturday morning and holiday clubs have taught my daughter how to cook a vast array of sweet and savoury dishes, which has increased her confidence and taught her to be responsible around the kitchen. The recipes are easy to follow and so good I have actually continued to use them myself, definitely recommended!!” Rachel Foreman, Parent

Workshops in Schools

“We recently worked with Smart Raspberry for our discovery week. Our theme was Mind, Body and Soul. We were given amazing options for our cooking class and they were able to work with our date and time constraints. In the end, we chose smoothies and a noodle salad. All of the students choose the cooking class as a highlight of their week. The food was delicious and many students reported later that they had made them on their own at home. Overall a great success. The end result included happy and full students! Highly recommend!” Mercedes Savage, ACS Hillingdon International School

Parties

“My daughter had the Smart Raspberry cupcake party for her 8th birthday. It was fantastic and all the girls loved it – the cake making, the icing (with an animal theme) and eating the final product! One of her friends needed an egg-free version and her Mum said they were the best egg-free cakes she had ever tasted! I would thoroughly recommend Smart Raspberry for an exciting and hassle-free party” Karen, Parent
