Autumn's here and there's lots to look forward to!

The nights might be drawing in but there are still plenty of great things to see and do with your little ones. Our Toddler Timetable on page 11 lists some of the best local drop in sessions, or you can use your FREE voucher to grab a cuppa at Little Street while the kids play.

With Winter on the way take a look at some of our favourite places to see Father Christmas on page 15. You can WIN family tickets to enjoy a great day out at Bocketts Farm on page 15 and Julie from The Blossoming Birth Company tells us what inspired her to start her new business after 20 years in the NHS on page 6. PLUS, Fennies Nursery in Woking is offering our readers free registration and 10% off your first months fees. See the advert on page 8 for contact details.

As always, we've also included over 1,000 listings for local services, support, classes and things to do. Don't forget to let us know if you'd like to add a listing, or have an event you'd like us to share.

Wishing you all a Happy and Healthy Winter and New Year!

Julie is a qualified KG Hypnobirthing teacher, baby massage and baby yoga instructor and has over 20 years experience as a midwife. She tells us why she set up The Blossoming Birth Company and how they can support you throughout your labour journey.

Two years ago our lives changed completely when our first Grandchild was born. For lots of reasons he could not stay with his mum, so my husband and I became his Special Guardians, at that point I gave up my wonderful career to be with him full time. Two years on he is a fantastic, loving, inquisitive little boy and I felt it was time for me to do something new, something that would give back to the community that had supported me so well during times that had been tough. And so I founded The Blossoming Birth Company, a way for me to give back, support new mums and families and use my experience....... a win, win situation.

I have a wonderful advantage that I will share with you during my classes and that is the knowledge on how you can positively navigate the current NHS maternity system to ensure it works FOR you and not against you.

I understand how important it is for ALL women to be prepared both physically and psychologically, women need to trust and follow the twists and turns of their birth with the appreciation that birth is normal and natural.

Hypnobirthing will help all women and their birth partners through their birth journey……. I’ve seen its impact first-hand, it is an empowering tool, whether your birth is an elective caesarean birth or a home water birth.

I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and your journey… I believe in you, and I want to help you believe in yourself.

Once baby is here our baby massage and baby yoga courses offer an easy going and sociable opportunity for you to bond with your baby, learn techniques to help develop your baby's mobility and relaxation, as well as helping with teething, colic and reflux. It will also help build your confidence when handling that tiny, fragile little human… and you never know you may build long-lasting, local friendships too.

Family Centres Children's Centres in Surrey have been through a period of transition. Some have closed and some have become Family Centres. Family Centres will work with families to help them keep their children safe and give them a good parenting experience. Family Centre staff will be trained to help families identify and find solutions to the parenting and relationships challenges they face and to grow in confidence to manage future difficulties. The aim of the Family Centres is to help families build their own resilience and self-reliance.
