No two babies are the same. One size doesn’t fit all. A Justafit velcro sleepsuit adjusts to fit, is hard wearing and lasts longer. The adjustable ankle straps reduce the risk of trips and falls from sleepsuits being too long. The adjustable wrist straps prevent hands hiding in the sleeves giving full access to toys as well as preventing sleeves that are too long dipping into food. Justafit sleepsuits are comfortable as they keep hands and feet where they should be. Children are less frustrated from sleeves and legs being too long.

Lots for Bump & Baby... Lisa explains what the FitBack & Bumps programme offers for new Mums or Mums to be...
M
y name is Lisa Lees and I am a Chartered Physiotherapist with over 15 years of clinical experience working within the NHS. I am also a mum of 2, and I experienced back and pelvic pain during both my pregnancies. Whilst pregnant I could not find a class to help with my aches and pains, which prompted me to become a FitBack and Bumps Instructor. FitBack and Bumps is an evidence based Educational Exercise programme only run by physiotherapists. The courses run for 4 weeks for an hour a week and combine modified Pilates type exercises with a short teaching session. Each course costs ÂŁ45.
The Ante Natal Course enables pregnant women to exercise safely during pregnancy, and strengthen their postural muscles to help with back and pelvic pain. The course also teaches women more about their changing body and posture. The Post Natal Course focuses on how and when to exercise after childbirth, how to strengthen the pelvic floor and tummy muscles and regain your waistline! The courses are also a great way for local mums to be and new mums to meet and share the pregnancy and childbirth experience.
little Baby & sage Kids Yoga n ur tur ing our future
Are you a New Mum or Mum-To-Be? FitBack and Bumps is an exciting Ante and Post Natal Educational Exercise Programme run by Chartered Physiotherapists.

Lots for Little Minds... Magikats Maths & English Tuition from 3 years to GCSE
P
ity the schools! Another new national curriculum has to be implemented in September 2014.
How can schools be adequately prepared? And how best can we protect our own children from the inevitable problems and arising confusions? Thinking clearly, the only way is to ensure they have an absolute understanding of all the main elements they need and are confident in their own abilities. One way to give our children that secure grounding is at MagiKats where each individual is helped to develop true mastery, at their own pace. In a MagiKats workshop you will find every student working at their own level and on
Tuition
their own materials with the consistent aim of supporting their school work. The friendly MagiKats environment, with individual programmes for students, promotes confidence, skills and a love of learning. Students are helped, by real people, to understand materials that they need for school now. You will also find in addition to pencil on paper work, lots of multi-sensory activities being used. All of this is completed under the guidance of trained tutors with a maximum of 6 students per tutor. www.magikats.co.uk

No time to exercise? No problem, says BuggyBabes instructor Beccy Salmon!
Get fit with your baby!
New research suggests that short sharp bursts of exercise can be just as effective at burning fat and improving health as long spells on the treadmill. Great news for us busy Mums (and Dads) with little ones around and no time to devote to visiting the gym! If you’ve got toddlers around then have a dance off, skip or crawl after them. You would be surprised at how energetic this is and what a great game they think it is too!
Darley Park, Derby
contact Beccy on
In a Buggybabes class you will perform lots of exercises for the whole body which can be done very effectively at home as well. To come along and try a class for free, contact: beccy@ buggybabes.com, visit www.buggybabes.com or www.facebook.com/buggybabes . It’s a great way to meet other new mums and get some exercise with your little one in tow too!
