Inclusive, fun and creative

My children have attended quite a few clubs organised and run by Mako Create including retro video game design, film-making, coding and digital art. They enjoy the sessions, have the chance to be creative and learn new skills. The staff that run the workshops are excellent, great with children with additional needs and make the sessions fun.

Before the start, they sent a really useful email that details location, leaders that will be present and photographs as a visual guide. This is a perfect example of their inclusivity.

I would highly recommend anyone with the opportunity to try them out.

Animation Exploration Workshop

The Animation Exploration Workshop for children in Runcorn was thoroughly enjoyed by our daughter. She felt safe and found the activity very engaging. She was keen to go every day and would definitely go to another workshop. All the staff were attentive, pleasant and communications to parents was very good.

My son attended the Halton Half term club and he loved it. My son has attended many courses they have run and they are excellent well planned and all the kids have fun. I hope they continue to offer more and more as my son has attended many groups but not that are really any interest to him but he can't wait to tell me all he's done when he gets out of the mako classes. The staff are very professional but very friendly and they really do get the kids engaged
