The after-school adventure
After-school clubs in Walthamstow
I collect your child from school and turn the after-school hours into art, making and growth-mindset magic, so pick-up becomes the best bit of the day.
After-school art and growth-mindset clubs in Walthamstow, E17, for ages 5 to 11. On Tuesdays I pick up from Winns Primary School, and on Thursdays from Henry Maynard and St. Mary's School. Thursdays are I MAKE, my collaboration with the artist Laura Villares House. 3:30 to 5:30pm, £40 a week.
Tuesday

Walk over together, then make, create and grow till pick-up time.

Books, making, big questions and a lot of laughs. This is what Noisy Book Club actually looks like.

What is I MAKE?＋
I MAKE is the Thursday club: my collaboration with the artist Laura Villares House. It runs 3:30 to 5:30pm at St. Mary's Welcome Centre, E17, with pick-up from Henry Maynard and St. Mary's School.
What time do the clubs run, and how does pick-up work?＋
Both clubs run 3:30 to 5:30pm. On Tuesdays we collect from Winns School at 3:30pm and go straight into art and making. From another school? You're welcome to drop your child off at Noisy Book Club HQ from 4pm. On Thursdays we collect from Henry Maynard and St. Mary's School at 3:30pm and head to St. Mary's Welcome Centre, E17 (a separate building from the school). From another school? Drop off at the Welcome Centre from 4pm.
What are the dates?＋
Tuesdays run 8 Sept to 15 Dec. I MAKE on Thursdays is booked in two blocks: the second half of the autumn term (5 Nov to 17 Dec) and the spring term (7 Jan to 18 Mar). Half-term week (w/c 26 Oct) is excluded from the autumn, and there is no I MAKE on Thursday 18 February, which is half term.
How much is it, and can we pay in instalments?＋
It's £40 a week. Tuesdays are £560 for the whole term (14 weeks). I MAKE is £280 for the second half of the autumn term (7 sessions) and £400 for the spring term (10 sessions). Book the spring term by 15 November and it's £40 off for each child, so £360. You can pay in full or in 3 monthly instalments. Booking two children? The second gets 5% off.
Can I book just a few weeks?＋
The clubs are booked as a block, not week by week: the whole term for Tuesdays, and for I MAKE either the second half of the autumn term or the spring term.
What if the club I want is full?＋
Tap the full club to join the waiting list, or use the form on this page. We'll email you the moment a place opens up.
How do I pay, and is it secure?＋
Payment is taken securely online by card. Your place is confirmed the moment you pay, and a confirmation email with all the details lands straight in your inbox.
What happens after I book?＋
You'll be whisked to a short form to tell us all about your child: allergies, emergency contacts, photo consent and the important bits. Completing it finalises their enrolment.
What's your refund policy?＋
Booking holds a spot, so we can't always offer a straight refund. If something changes, get in touch as early as you can. First, we'll try to move you to another date or club, or offer a credit. If you'd prefer a refund, we'll happily give one once the place is filled, either by you finding a replacement or by us re-selling it from the waiting list, minus a 10% admin fee that covers card-processing and administration costs. If we can't fill the place, we're not able to refund it. We'll always be reasonable about genuine emergencies.
Are your staff DBS-checked? (Safeguarding)＋
Yes, all our staff are fully DBS-checked, so your child is in safe, caring hands. Want to know more about who's leading the adventure and the thinking behind Noisy Book Club?
