T

his Summer issue marks the first anniversary for myself as Editor of the Derby magazine. It really has been a fantastic year which has brought 4 very busy editions as well as a new look website. A big thank you to all of the readers and advertisers for your continued support.

holders for donating raffle prizes. This year the show raised £650 for TOFS. The charity supports families of children born unable to swallow.

Nadine has also bought the East Midlands Baby and Toddler Show. This years show will be held on Sunday 13th October at the East Midlands Conference Centre, Nottingham. See next page!

On Saturday 8th June Lots for Tots joined Sight Support Derbyshire for their annual Duck Race.

We sponsored and decorated a duck to support this great charity and although we didn’t win we had great fun in the process.

This Summer see’s the launch of Lots for Tots Nottingham. Nadine and I would like to welcome the newest franchisee, Sarah Little, who will be the Editor of the Nottingham magazine. 14-15,000 copies will be distributed to parents around the South Nottinghamshire area.

You will now be able to pick up a copy of Lots for Tots in our local Mothercare at the Wyvern Retail Park in Derby. Mothercare also run Mother & Baby events so look out for details in future issues, on our website and also on the Lots for Tots Derby Facebook page: www.facebook.com/LotsForTotsDerby I was excited to receive a call recently from a Producer from ITV News Westminster. The lady asked for Lots for Tots help in gathering together a group of working and stay at home Mums to meet a very senior member of the Cabinet. The visit was postponed but we will be helping again shortly when a new date is confirmed. We were very pleased that they thought of Lots for Tots!

Nadine, the Managing Director of Lots for Tots Ltd brought us another brilliant Bump to Five show. This was the shows 4th year and The Gateway Centre at the Derbyshire County Cricket Ground was a great venue. Thank you to everyone who attended and to all of the stall

New play equipment in Markeaton Park provides the opportunity for children of all abilities to play together

B

rilliant new play equipment has been installed in time for Summer at the Mundy Play Centre in Markeaton Park. Having opened at the end of May this new equipment consists of a large ship which will be accessible to children of all abilities, including those in wheelchairs.

The cost of the project was £140,000 and was funded using a grant by the Children and Young People Directorate.

The decision to install the inclusive play equipment came following a consultation with parents and carers of disabled

children who expressed how important it is for children with disabilities to be able to play alongside able bodied siblings and friends.

Councillor Martin Rawson, Cabinet Member for Children and Young People, said: “I know that Children’s services are proud to have funded this major new facility, which will further enhance the attraction of Markeaton Park and see more families with disabled children visiting the park.”

A Flying start for 2 year olds...

Did you know that eligible families can now take up to 15 hours per week of free childcare?

You may be eligible to claim a free place for your child if you receive one or more of the following: • Income Support (IS) • Income-based Job Seekers’ Allowance (JSA) • Employment Support Allowance (ESA) • National Asylum Support Service (NASS) • Pension Credit • Child Tax Credit where income is £16,190 or less and you are not entitled to claim Working Tax Credit • or the child is looked after by Derby City Council.

When is my child entitled to a free place?

If you are eligible for a free two year old place then you can claim this the term after your child turns two and this finishes at the end of the term in which your child turns three. Three year olds can then claim their three and four year old 15 hours of early education.

How do I know my child will be well looked after?

Many parents worry how their children will be looked after, the free places will only be available from childcare providers who have been assessed by Derby City Council as delivering high quality care for two year olds – a list of local childcare providers will be sent to all eligible families following a successful application.

How do I get a free place?

To find out if you are eligible just ring the Families Information Service on 01332 642610 or 642609. It is best to do this in the term before your child turns 2 years old as before that we can not confirm your eligibility.

Or you can complete the simple online form at: www.derby.gov.uk/education-and-learning/parental-support/free-earlylearning/ Telephone: 01332 642610 Minicom: 01332 640666 Email: fis@derby.gov.uk

New Baby Nurture Courses from Bohemian Baby Yoga

I

love baby yoga, since introducing it to Derby six years ago it has continued to bloom and grow and I am now delighted to see it has gone from being an activity that raised eyebrows to one that most baby’s experience. The ability to observe parent and baby developing in both their confidence and bonding is truly a joy to behold.

Baby Yoga usually starts when babies are aged between 8-12 weeks and I have often heard mum’s saying how they really could have used some extra support in the first couple of months before they get to my class. Regardless of whether pregnancy has been easy or not, the early weeks and months create a foundation that has far reaching benefits for parents and children later in life - building a foundation on confident nurturing practices.

Most parents have not had experience of caring for babies until they have their own, and while it is often said that babies don’t come with a manual, it is nevertheless true that we can feel a little bit at sea when our babies finally arrive. In order to offer this extra support and to equip parents with the skills to respond to their new babies in positive ways as well as helping mothers nurture themselves, I now offer a new service called Baby Nurture.

Baby Massage Classes Thurs 10am, 5 wk course The Bridge Centre, Mickleover Classes also run in Belper Friendly qualified instructor, CRB checked Small Classes

Please book with

Jenny Raphael

Baby Nurture includes relaxed & active holds, bonding through feeding, massage, positive use of voice, napping techniques, introductions to deep rest, help with wind & colic and of course a gentle introduction to baby yoga.

Baby Nurture is suitable from birth until 12 weeks and is designed to support mums and dads through their journey into parenthood. Classes are offered through group sessions as well as one to one’s.

Lots for Little Minds...

Keep your children happy this summer with innovative online games and activities from busythings.co.uk

b

usythings.co.uk is an award-winning educational website designed to inspire creativity and learning in children aged 3 to 9. Fully-linked to the curriculum, its animated characters are delighting children across the country.

Even before you play the first game, you know there’s something exciting and different about busythings.co.uk – the online creation of Derby couple Rachel and Tony Hall.

The creatures are all invented by Tony, an artist whose vivid imagination has created this strange and wonderful world where children can learn through play and develop their creative side.

Rachel, a mum of three, describes how failing to find suitable educational computer games for

her own son Harry led her and her husband to do it for themselves, setting up their own children’s educational software company 12 years ago.

“We wanted something our own children would like to play,” she explained. ”Something cool and not too stuffy. Games families can trust to entertain while bringing their children on.”

To give your children the chance to enjoy the exciting activities for themselves, register for a seven-day free trial period at:
