We started as a team of actors, teachers, and storytellers who believed every child thrives when learning feels like play. Today, we’re proud to bring play-based learning to celebrations and classes across London, Brighton, and beyond—because play isn’t just fun, it’s essential.

Our Mission: To empower children through playful, story-driven experiences that build confidence, creativity, and lifelong skills.

What we offer

Play-based themed parties that teach co‑operation, creativity, and communication through games and storytelling

Performance classes (singing, acting, dance) grounded in play to develop critical thinking, empathy, and self expression

Tailored experiences for tots, school holidays, and bespoke events—always rooted in purposeful play

Expert facilitators, all DBS‑checked, and specially trained in play-led pedagogy

Why play matters

Play isn’t just play—it’s how children learn. Research tells us that play-based learning helps children:

Think critically & solve problems by trying, failing, and adapting — cognitive benefits seen in play-based classrooms

Boost creativity & imagination through pretend & dramatic play—foundation for innovation

Build emotional resilience & social skills, including cooperation, empathy, and self-regulation

Develop confidence, physical coordination, and language skills through active, child-led exploration

TESTIMONIALS

What other happy parents like you are saying...

"Would use again for future parties!"

"We would definitely recommend KPA. Alice was fantastic at explaining all options and communication was great. Our 3 year old loved his party and Molly was fantastic with him and the other kids too. Would use again for future parties! Thanks again!"

" ...I was blown away."

"We had such a brilliant party with Eliska as Elsa for my 4 year old's birthday. My daughter hasn't stopped talking about how Elsa made her feel so happy. I've also had messages from friends telling me how lovely it was.

Eliska was absolutely brilliant with the kids. She went well above my expectations. It was our first time booking an entertainer and I was blown away.

Thank you so much 🙂 "
