Activities

From colouring to dressing up; painting to storytime and bubbles to a good singalong - every child will find their place at Messy Boots Playtime

Playtime

Every opportunity to play is a chance to learn. Playtime is the backbone for learning, nurturing social skills and developing the imagination. Messy Boots Playtime offers a space for you to play with your children and have fun.

Storytime

Having a knowledge of stories and a love of books is essential for children’s future reading and writing skills. We read classic and modern children’s stories at MessyBoots playtime and bring them to life with toys and activities.

Exploratory time

Textures…paints…gloopy glue….pine cones – to children, the most everyday of objects can enthrall the mind and be transformed into wonderful things! From craft to messy play, we’ll always offer some exploratory time for your children.

Movers

Designed for active little ones, your child will be able to jump, roll, climb, slide, bounce, hop, balance and dance along to the music including bubble time, parachute games and an active singing time.

We're at the Community Centre in Saltdean, next to the Lido.
We have indoor play and a small outdoor area.
Come along for a play, a chat and a cup of tea!
