Once Upon A Spa

children's spa party in London with 3 girls with their head back being pampered

Our Story

Once Upon a Spa was created from a real-life moment — a mother simply trying to plan the perfect birthday for her daughter.

After searching endlessly for a company to host a children’s pampering party, it became clear that something was missing. While there were options available, none truly met our needs. It wasn’t just about finding a service — it was about finding the right experience. One that balanced flexibility, value for money, the right atmosphere, and enough time for the children to genuinely enjoy every moment.

With the big day fast approaching and no perfect solution in sight, we decided to take matters into our own hands and create the experience ourselves.

The result? An unforgettable day.

The children had an amazing time, the atmosphere was full of joy and laughter, and the feedback from parents was overwhelming. Many encouraged us to turn this into something more — not just because the event was well organised, but because it felt natural, personal, and truly special.

That moment was the beginning of Once Upon a Spa.

Having worked with children throughout my life, creating fun, safe, and engaging experiences has always come naturally to me. Combining that passion with a love for pampering and self-care felt like the perfect fit — and the timing couldn’t have been better.

Today, Once Upon a Spa is built on that same foundation: creating memorable, high-quality experiences where every child feels special, every detail is considered, and every moment is enjoyed.
