Lots for Tots North Derbyshire

Welcome to Issue 13...

Spring is on its way, and with it some nicer weather (we hope!). It’s the perfect time to get out and about in North Derbyshire and make the most of what the county has to offer!

Of course Easter is around the corner too and our events pages are bursting with things to do! Be sure to let us know what you are up to this Spring and share your days out with us on the Lots for Tots North Derbyshire Facebook page.

Our lovely cover photo for this issue comes courtesy of Kim Caroline Photography. Kim loves to photograph newborns, maternity, children and families, and is offering our readers a 10% discount on her website prices.

See page 9 for details.

If you are looking for classes and groups to attend with your little people, take a look at the Lots On Weekly section where you will find toddler groups, sessions and classes of all types. There is something for all ages so why not give something new a try?
