Smudge is a magical place! My toddler attends the Art Play Lab sessions weekly which are a colourful free play wonderland. Emma and Suzie are so lovely, warm and encouraging and you can tell they’ve poured an incredible amount of love into creating each week’s theme for the kids (and their adults) to enjoy. Highly highly recommend!
