Lots for Tots Derby

Welcome to Issue 41...

@LfTDerby

Lots for Tots is in its 10th Year!! Can you believe it? To celebrate we’ve brought you a little more editorial than usual in this edition which we hope you will enjoy. In this edition we feature the amazing Kids Yoga classes that Body and Mind offer in Darley Abbey. We also have a tasty recipe from Three Bears Cookery Club for you to try at home. Chucklebutties write about their award winning play and party centre in Belper and Kip McGrath are again offering a free family cinema ticket to one lucky person who enters their on-line competition. What’s On Weekly class and group listings have again been updated. Take a look and see what groups are on near you. If you find that your group isn’t listed please get in touch! As usual, I’ll be keeping the Lots for Tots Derby website and facebook page up to date with new events as I find them so do keep checking on there for the very latest information. The next issue will be out in time for the Easter Holidays, it will be a bumper edition as it will not only list all of the Easter Events going on in Derby but it’ll also be the guide for the annual Bump to Five Show to be held at the Riverside Centre in Pride Park on Saturday May 5th - Save the date!

APUK Derby A Network Support Group for Parents The UK’s leading Attachment Parenting organisation, APUK brings together a nationwide network support groups run by and for parents, including our group in Derby. A 6 year-old non-profit organisation, APUK continues to grow as more parents become aware of the benefits of Attachment Parenting. APUK also provides a host of free online information, a Positive Discipline course, workshops, a national conference, and 1:1 coaching for parents. Attachment Parenting is an approach intended to forge strong and secure attachment bonds between parents and child, which have been proven to have lifelong positive effects. For many parents this responsive approach feels intuitive. However other more ‘mainstream’ parenting advice often pushes parents to feel they need to control and shape their child. Attachment Parenting encourages parents to follow their instincts, to tune into and respond to their child’s emotional and physical needs in a timely and sensitive way. Breastfeeding on demand, baby wearing & bed sharing are advocated as they help parents to tune in to their child, as well as responding to a baby’s intrinsic need for closeness. However there is no checklist of specific practices that parents must follow, instead what is important is that the parents aim to be sensitive and responsive. In older children ‘positive discipline’ is advocated, to teach the child by example and explanation rather than through punishments and rewards. AP parents believe that by providing

a loving, supportive and respectful environment, children with naturally thrive and learn. The APUK Derby is a warm and welcoming bunch of parents, mainly mummies, with an interest in Attachment and Gentle Parenting. Established in January 2014, the group meets monthly, with other adhoc events too. In the winter the venue is usually indoors, in the summer they often meet up at local parks with plenty of space for children to run around. They also have a lively facebook group, always full of interesting discussion and a great place to find advice and support. They have members from a diverse range of backgrounds, and have close links to local breastfeeding support and babywearing consultants. They discuss a wide range of topics from bed-sharing and breastfeeding to sleep problems and discipline, aiming to share ideas and experiences to lift up and support each other. Their number one rule is that they respect the individual circumstances of all their members and do not judge your parenting style or choices. So your questions and problems are safe with them. The group is a safe haven both for AP veterans and for new parents or parents-to-be who are looking to learn more. The next APUK Derby meeting will be at Deda’s Cube cafe on 14th Feb 10am12. The topic will be “In the absence of reflection, history often repeats itself. How you were parented affects how you parent.” Find them on facebook @apukderby.

Three Bears Cookery Club Cheesy Pesto Swirls The kids are back at school and we hear that familiar “I’m hungry” as soon as they come in from school! It’s so easy for them to reach for a biscuit or a packet of crisps and for the times when an apple isn’t going to cut it until teatime! I wanted to share with you one of our favourite recipes from our cookery club; this recipe is perfect to fill them up just enough until teatime and is also great cold in their packed lunch! These can be frozen if you want to double up and make a batch of them and why not get the kids to help you? Cooking is always a good boredom buster and encourages them to be interested in what they are eating.

Ingredients • • • • •

The great thing about this recipe is how versatile it is - you can change the filling, so if they don’t like pesto or they have an allergy then you could use an alternative filling such as chicken with some tomato puree, cherry tomatoes and basil and even add a sprinkling of cheese if you wish! The pastry can also be altered for dairy or gluten allergies, just swap the flour for gluten free flour (you will need to use more flour as the gluten free flour does tend to get a little sticky). The butter & milk you can swap to a dairy free version instead! I hope you love this recipe as much as we do. Ruth x

www.threebearscookery.com

200g Self Raising Flour 50g Butter 2 tsps Pesto 50ml – 100ml Milk 50g Grated Cheddar

1. Preheat the oven to 220c 2. Put the flour and butter in a bowl and rub together until the mixture resembles bread crumbs. 3. Gradually add the milk and mix until you get a soft dough. 4. On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough like pastry to about 0.5cm thick in a rectangular shape by only rolling in one direction, then turning the dough and rolling again. 5. Once rolled out spread the pesto over the dough and sprinkle the grated cheese on top, roll up like a sausage along the long side. 6. Cut into thick rings using a table knife and place on a baking sheet, cut side down, almost touching each other, making sure you can see the spiral. Pop them in the oven for about 15 minutes until golden. T: 08456 436 848 E: derby@lotsfortots.co.uk

Support ‘Friends of the Baby Unit’ at Royal Derby Hospital The Friends of the Baby Unit is a Derby based charity established in 1976 by Kate Repton after the loss of her premature daughter, Lucy. Since then, Kate and her team of volunteers have raised over £2.1 million, which has brought many pieces of life saving equipment for the neonatal unit (N.I.C.U) at the Derby Royal which cares for both premature babies and sick newborns. The Friends of the Baby Unit team fundraise throughout the year by holding stalls and selling things like baby knit wear, bibs, soft toys and merchandise. They also receive many kind donations from fundraisers who have chosen to raise money for the neonatal unit. As well as purchasing life saving equipment for the unit, the team also try to make time on the unit that little bit more bearable for families by buying gifts for the babies, siblings and parents on the unit for special occasions including Christmas, Easter, Mother's Day and Father's Day.

Chucklebutties Award Winning Play & Party Centre Chucklebutties is an Award Winning indoor soft play area with a difference: adults love it too! With views from massive windows overlooking the beautiful Derwent and Belper River Gardens, adults can sit in comfort and relax while the children play. Chucklebutties are the only play centre in the Amber Valley to have received the Heartbeat Award for offering good healthy food. The cafe serves mouth watering homemade cakes, hearty meals & snacks as well as real coffee & looseleaf teas. They can also cater for

most special dietary requirements. The playframe includes 4 slides, football pitch, climbs & rope bridges and is suitable for toddlers. A baby area is situated within the cafe so little ones can play safely with parents nearby. Getting there: There is a car park by the entrance and plenty of spaces behind the centre in the River Gardens Public Car Park. Alternatively, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approximately a 5 minute walk from the centre of Belper (which is well-served by local and TransPeak buses).
