    This recommendation was made verbally by a parent speaking to the KalliKids team and confirmed in writing.

    • Anne, Mum of Grace (11), Brighton

      Grace absolutely loves the activities, the group of children and the ladies that run Arthropod Arts. I love the classes too as all the children are engaged and the ideas for activities are imaginative and positive. Sharon and her colleague are nurturing yet still in control and it is simply a well run class. I'm really fussy when choosing activities for my children as I'm a teacher and can be quite hard to please but I have no hesitation in recommending Arthropod Arts. This is in complete contrast with the after school club where Grace used to go when she moaned every week and asked not to go! This is an absolutely great class.

    • Vanessa, Mum to Nancy (age 9)

      Nancy loves Arthropod Arts she attends the after school club and has recently had her 9th Birthday Party which was brilliant. For the party she had a Monsters Science Party for 15. They all got to wear lab coats and safety glasses looking like real scientists. They did lots of experiments, and it was very well organised and the kids really enjoyed it. Anna and Sharon are great, they have a good balance of control and fun, and the kids are really inspired. At after school club Nancy makes fantastic stuff and is very much encouraged to create and make.

    • Rita Mum to Malachy age 7 and Eli age 4

      Both my sons love Arthropod Arts. They have both had parties and have attended the after school clubs. The party for my seven year old son was secret agent themed they were so creative they built a headquarters; and the kids had to produce their finger prints to enter. We really felt that a lot of imagination and creativity went into the whole day. My younger son had a superhero theme and again it was great, they got to make superhero costumes and even had a treasure hunt. The other children's parents were very impressed. My older son really enjoys their after school club and is always disappointed when its time for me to pick him up. He is working towards an art award which he really wants to do.

    • Nicky, mum in Brighton

      We had my daughter's 9th birthday party here and it was brilliant! Sharon and Anna have a wonderful fun way of sharing science and art with the kids. Their passion and creativity shines through and the whole group were enthralled for the whole two hours! Can't recommend them highly enough!

    • Zoe, Mum of two, Saltdean.

      Arthropods gave my son Leo, 5 the best birthday party he has ever had! The way Anna and Sharon captured and held the attention of 14 4-5 year olds was astonishing! They all loved making dinosaur book bag key-rings, then after their birthday tea, were transformed into little scientists ready to make a volcano and watch it erupt. I think we might be regulars every year from now on. Brilliant!
