Lots for Tots Nottingham

Welcome to Issue 25...

There’s a chill in the air, it’s getting dark earlier and earlier, and scarves, hats, coats and gloves are working their way back into our wardrobes. It must be Autumn...

Which means there’s no avoiding the ‘C word’ any longer. Decorations are in the shops and I bet you’ve started squirrelling away pressies when you spot a bargain! Well our friends at The Olive Branch in Castle Donington are taking Christmas orders so check them out online or pop into their gorgeous shop on Borough Street. The brilliant East Midlands Baby and Toddler Show has a new owner and it promises to be an amazing event with lots of shopping, local businesses, entertainment and more.

That’s the shopping sorted, now for Half Term. Have you thought of a Stay-cation on your doorstep?

Darwin Forest have luxury award winning lodges and plenty of exploring for the kids.

Check out the pages of brilliant events for the season, multitude of classes and variety of childcare from Hollies Day Nursery (with voucher) to Safe Circle Sitters babysitting and wrap-around childcare from Dynamique Childcare

Did you know... at EMSA our passion for teaching children to swim starts with self-rescue from just 6 weeks old, ensuring if they ever got into danger they would know how to save their own life? Our lessons are friendly, fun and affordable and we keep class sizes small. We promote a lifesaving survival message from the very first lesson. Our warm pools are perfect for newborns and offer a relaxed atmosphere for both parent and baby with the chance to meet more mums & dads just like you.
