I offer princess pamper parties for girls aged 4-10 years in Derby and the surrounding areas.

Let me take the stress away and completely run a very special, girly party for your little princess.

Now successfuly in my third year of business my aim is to make the birthday girl and all of her guests feel special like a princess for an hour and a half, making it a truly memorable occasion.

Each princess will receive a mini manicure accompanied by nail jewellery. They can enjoy making bath bombs, personalising them with their own choice of fragrance and colour, with a dash of glitter for that extra sparkle. Along side this, the girls can make their own jewellery and masquerade and finish off with a spray of glitter in their hair. Each girl will leave with all of their goodies they have made and a party bag.

And whats more, new to 2013 Hair and make-up makeovers!

Affordable packages available to suit all budgets.

I run parties from your home or from the booked venue of your choice.

Lots for Little Minds...

St Edmund’s Pre-School Playgroup I would like to introduce myself as the new Chair of St Edmund’s Pre-School Playgroup. My two younger children attended St Edmund’s and were very happy there. Joseph has been able to settle into School with the confidence and skills gained from his time spent at pre-school.

St Edmund’s is a none profit making organisation and as such is very much a part of the Allestree community. The pre-school playgroup is run by caring and qualified childcare professionals and has recently added a new canopy to assist with the outdoor play facilities.

I am pleased to say that we have some exciting new plans for the children this year. The Committee have some surprises in store, which will include an outing, a visit from Mrs Sparkle, new laptops for the children to use and a Santa’s Grotto later in the year.

BOOGIE ON DOWN TO BOOGIE WOOGIE BABES If you’ve every been to one of Shelagh’s classes you’ll know that you ALWAYS come away with a tune stuck in your head! It’s the great choice of song & dance in a familiar format that makes Boogie Woogie Babes so popular. From well known Nursery Rhymes & some that you’ve never heard before, to bopping with Kylie, babes from a few months old right up to school age just love the class. Shelagh purposely repeats her successful mixture of songs, rhymes & dances each week which gives children the confidence to sing along, learn the words & actions and get up & boogie. With props from spiders, crocodiles, balls, bells & even socks, the children keep busy. Among the many skills the class helps to develop are confidence, rhythm, sharing, dexterity, counting, articulation & especially tidying up... there’s even a biscuit at the end of the session for good little boys & girls.

Lots for Tots would like to wish Shelagh & Boogie Woogie Babes Happy 10th Birthday this February!

You can find Boogie Woogie Babes in Mickleover, Allestree & Etwall. Pay as you go under 1’s £1.50p over 1’s £3.50p & all siblings £1. Contact Shelagh: 01332 523445. Come along & join us we are sure you will have a fun time!

Music, movement, dance, instruments, stories and signing for babies and toddlers.
