Crafty Wizards

About the Company

We want to make learning magical through creativity for children 2-5 years olds. Set up in 2011 by a qualified teacher, Crafty Wizards has become multi-award winning. We have won the Top 20 in the UK and London for 7 years recommended by parents/ carers, continually succeed in gaining the Early Years Quality Mark Award and has received awards such as: Gold standard for a Communication Friendly Environment, Greenwich University partnership award, Bronze award for the Mayor of London's Healthy Eating scheme and have recently been shortlisted by the National Day Nurseries Association for quality play and support for SEN children. We believe in the 'power of yet' and promote this with children, parents/ carers and staff. We take part in the Interactive Music Making accreditation, Boogie Mites and Makaton training amongst a whole range of strategies and training to support our 'Crafty Wizards'. We enjoy Forest School sessions weekly and daily activities around our 'Crafty Wizards' interests and developmental needs.
This summer we are proud to be opening a forth site to support parents/carers with ad hoc sessions, to give them the magic of time and their children (1-8 years old) the opportunity for fun play!
As a small business, non-chain, we believe that we are big enough to make a difference and act fast and small enough to provide that personal touch and engagement with our local community.
