ew Year and a new issue of Lots for Tots North Nottinghamshire for you to enjoy!

With Christmas an all too soon distant memory (you’ve managed to find space in a Mary Poppins style for the influx of oversized toys right?) and hopefully New Year resolutions hanging on in there (just), our focus now turns to February Half Term, Mother’s Day and not too far away, the long Easter break.

I hope you are finding the groups and activity listings helpful in getting out and about more with your little one. Not to mention the great local businesses we have featured with lots of fabulous products and services for families.

We’ve got a great competition on page 10 to win a beautiful locket from new local business Little Locket & Co. - perfect gifts for Mother’s Day! So until the next issue, wrap up warm and get on out there and explore the local area. Make it your resolution to try some new groups and activities!
