Welcome to Issue 3...

Lots for Tots North Nottinghamshire @LfTNorthNotts

Spring has sprung and the Easter Bunny is on his way with chocolatey treats!

The next three months are jam-packed with school holidays, bank holidays and long weekends so we’ve got loads of great days out featured to keep little ones (and grown ups!) happy.

Make sure you pop your copy of Lots for Tots in your bag or car for ideas on the go!

You may have noticed that the magazine has had a make over and we hope you like the new design and layout. There is also a new look website launching which as always is a fab source of information.

On 25th April the 6th annual ‘Bump to Five Show’ will take place at the Cricket Ground in Derby. It’s a great place to see lots of great products and services, as well as class providers in action . More details are shown in the ‘What’s On Local’ section.

The next issue of Lots for Tots will be out in early July and will have plenty for you and your family over the Summer. See you then!

Capturing life’s special moments Award winning maternity and newborn photographer Jemma Danielle...

Maternity and newborn photographer Jemma Arbon creates stunning, award winning images of the smallest members of your family from her home studio in Rufford, Nottinghamshire. “Photographing the excitement of welcoming a newborn into this world is my absolute passion and I love creating images that will last a lifetime.

A photo, I believe, is something that stops a moment in time. To help us remember how you felt, right at that

18

point in time. In years to come, my images will take you back to the day your newborn was tiny enough to fit in the palm of your hand and the days when they fell asleep on your chest.�

Newborn portfolio sessions can be booked in as early as 12 weeks, with sessions taking place in the first 5-12 days of your new babies life.

Babies have so much to say!

Award-winning TinyTalk classes have delighted babies for over a decade...

“Our very special mix of songs and rhymes, puppets, sensory shapes, bubbles, parachutes, instruments, mirrors and social playtime over a drink and biscuit stimulates your child’s development. It’s wonderful for you to spend quality time engaging with your little one and making friends too! All our classes are developed in line with Early Years Education and inspire your child to communicate through signing and talking. Through our baby classes (suitable from birth – 2 years)

parents have discovered that using sign language allows your baby to express their needs and thoughts long before they can talk, cutting out the guesswork for you! Babies are thrilled when they’re understood, which helps to build a very special bond with you, and promotes vital early communication skills. Join us at your FIRST CLASS FOR FREE and enjoy the benefits of Baby Signing right away!”

Springboard to confidence!

Giving babies & children the best start in life through their physical play programme “The Tumble Tots unique programme was devised by an ex-Olympic gymnastic instructor and is split into narrow age groups, from 6 months through to 5 years.

Each class is set up slightly differently to suit the age groups and sessions are designed to develop motor skills in areas of agility, balance, climbing and coordination. Gymbabes sessions combine physical play activities with massage and physical development activities. The children have fun and learn whilst there, the obstacles TT>Gymbabe ad 210x146 25112 aw_Layout 1 25/01/2012 08:54are Page 1
