Welcome to Issue 1 of Lots for Tots Burton-Ashby!

Hello, I’m Nadine, Editor of Lots for Tots.

I live in Derby & I have 2 girls age 5 & 3. Having spent 2 years spreading the Lots for Tots word around Derbyshire I am now on a mission to make sure every parent in East Staffordshire, South Derbyshire & North West Leicestershire gets one too!

Launching a new magazine in a new area is a lot of work & I couldn’t have done it without two fantastic business Mums who have helped me to fill the magazine & get it out to you.

Sharon lives in South Derbyshire & is Mum to Joseph, 5 & Maddie, 3.

Karen lives in North West Leicestershire & is Mum to Josh, 5. A big thank you to them & all the Mums who are on board the Lots for Tots train. It’s going to be an exciting ride!

You can help too... if you know of a toddler group, class, event or business that might benefit form the magazine, please let me know. I want to get as much information in the magazine for you as possible, helping you to survive with the under fives!

Lots for You...

Jo & Trina from Miracle in Progress explain their special services...

Miracle In Progress is a private pregnancy clinic both owned and run by professional, dedicated midwives who thrive in the services that they offer to pregnant women and their families.

Since the NHS cut down on the available antenatal services, Miracle In Progress decided to design unique, private services and packages available to pregnant women at their most precious time.

Not only do Miracle In Progress offer antenatal services but are privileged to offer 3D/4D pregnancy scans. These scans are a once in a lifetime opportunity to spend quality time viewing your baby move, yawn, suck his/her thumb and sometimes smile. All this will truly touch your heart.

Our 3D/4D scanning is carried out by using a GE Voluson 730 which is among the most trusted women’s healthcare systems in the world and transfers your baby’s images onto our large plasma TV screen, for you and your family to view. We offer unique packages including capturing your baby on DVD, colour photos, heartbeat bears, ‘my first scan’ photo frames and many other unique gifts. All these services are offered to women, by appointment only, 7 days a week 9am-8pm. We hope we can help you capture a glimpse of your growing miracle!

Turn to page 7 for a fantastic discount, exclusively for Lots for Tots readers.

Enhancing The Bonding Process Between You & Your Growing Miracle.

3D/4D Non-Diagnostic Pregnancy Scans with colour photos and a DVD of your baby to take home.

A keepsake Teddy bear with recording of your baby’s heartbeat.

The Creation Station’s award-winning, hands-on art and craft exploration sessions give pre-school children, from one year old, the chance to safely experiment with a wide range of materials, tools and ideas. Anna Makin, mum of two, leads the weekly, term-time programme at Swadlincote, Ashby-de-laZouch and Tamworth.

Anna said: “I love running Creation Station sessions because the children have such a great time learning! Our aim is to inspire children’s imaginations through our specially designed art and craft activities. Each week they create their own unique work of art, developing the child’s confidence, creativity and concentration. All of this comes with no mess or stress to the parent/carer as allin-one overalls are provided.”

To book, contact Anna on 0845 051 0856, or e-mail makin@thecreationstation.co.uk
