We are saying goodbye to Heathridge!

25 of March, 2026

Hello our lovely families!
We have some big news… and it might come as bit of a surprise.
After three incredible years of bringing all the messy fun to our Heathridge studio, we’ve made the decision not to renew our lease.
Our studio will be closing in June.. But this isn’t goodbye... (Read on for all the deets!)
The good news though? Made to be Messy isn’t going anywhere (how could I possibly let my third baby go!)
It’s just going to look a little different…

After June, you’ll find us:

  •  Hosting pop-up play experiences
  •  Running sessions in shopping centres
  •  Delivering incursions to schools, ELCs & daycares
  •  Partnering with councils & community events
  •  Bringing the mess to offsite birthday parties
So what does this mean???
This is your last chance to experience the studio!
  • We’ll be running as normal until 24th May 2026, and we would absolutely LOVE to see you in the studio one last time.
  • Term 2 will run as a 5 week term, with casual bookings and 5 class passes still currently available.
  • If you have an existing class pass don't forget to book in your sessions so you don't miss out.
  • If you’ve been thinking about coming… this is your moment!
  • And if you have a GIFT CARD, now is the time to use it. They can be used for classes, holiday workshops, parties or even our sensory play products. Just enter your voucher code at checkout.

This has been one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever made.
I absolutely love our studio. I loved creating it, building this business, working with the most incredible team of women, and getting to know you and your beautiful children.

Being part of your child’s childhood is something I will never take for granted.

But if I’m being really honest… the juggle is real.
Trying to grow a business, show up for everyone, and still be the mum I want to be at home, it’s a lot.
And right now, it’s time for me to put my own family first for a little while.

From the bottom of my heart… thank you.
We are now in our 6th year of business, and there is no way we would be here without you.
Your children, their imagination, their love of play and the amazing support of your family and our MTBM community has meant more to me than you will ever know.
Thank you for being part of this journey.
This isn’t the end… it’s just the beginning of something new.
xx Love Laura, the MTBM team and the Burton family xx
