And dare I even say that the weather is starting to warm up? That means only one thing - Spring and Summer are on their way! Spring also means lots of bank holidays and school breaks so if you are panicking about keeping little people happy and busy then check out the Lots on Local section for a plethora of events and activities in and around the local area. Nottinghamshire County Show is back on Saturday 13th and Sunday 14th May and is always a huge hit with families with so much to see and do there. We’ve teamed up with them to offer one lucky reader a family ticket to the show! If you are thinking of heading to the coast then head over to Skegness then make sure you take a ride on The Seasiders who are back from Easter right through to October with their colourful seafront open top bus rides.

The First Agricultural Show of the Year! Nottinghamshire County Show is back for 2017 with attractions galore for all the family! Plan a great day out for the whole family with lots to do for all age groups from tiny tots to big kids at the all-weather Nottinghamshire County Show. At this first agricultural show of the year there will be hundreds of animals, from all over the country, featuring the best cattle, sheep, goats and pigs, alongside superb equine events, including national level show-jumping and the ever-popular majestic Heavy Horses. When the animals are not showing, families will be able to meet their favourite farmyard characters in their holding areas where the handlers will be only too happy to answer questions about animal husbandry. In the Countryside Area there will be a full timetable on both Saturday & Sunday including informative and amusing gun-dog and birds of prey demonstrations whilst Broke FMX will be performing spectacular stunts twice daily in the Main Ring. The show offers a jam-packed day out with lots to see and do and this year there will be a fabulous collection of big, bright, shiny new machinery, including tractors, with more than 30 agricultural machinery stands to visit. Show Manager, George Taylor, said: “We are delighted at the return of the Music Marquee, located near the Main Ring, which will feature a plethora of musicians. Families can take a seat and listen to the likes of the Hope Community Gospel Choir, a jazz quintet, and the Nottingham Police Band, to name but a few”. All ages will have fun at the Inspire Shows watching co-ordinated free running routines in the George Stevenson Exhibition Hall with runners flipping 4
and leaping through the air – skilfully negotiating any obstacle in their path demonstrating tremendous agility, body power and strength. When it’s time for a bite to eat, take advantage of the ample refreshment outlets serving light snacks and hot drinks as well as hot lunches with wine. Or why not become a Member and enjoy free entry to the Show on both days, along with VIP parking, Members Only facilities, and complimentary morning coffee with biscuits and afternoon tea with scones. Children catered for. Advance tickets are £10 and accompanied children under 17 years go free. For further details head to the website: www.nottinghamshirecountyshow.com

Brilliant Advice & Great Quality Range! Katie and the Jack in a Box team will be at the Four Seasons Shopping Centre this May! Are you baffled by the sheer choice and styles of baby products out there? Perhaps you are worried about the new car seat regulations which have recently come into force? If so head on down to see the Jack in a Box team at their Mansfield store or at their showcase event at the Four Seasons Shopping Centre in May. Jack in a Box owner Katie AdamsonMcMinn moved to her Mansfield location nearly two years ago and it has gone from strength to strength! With an amazing array of top quality products ranging from well known baby brands like Joie and Chicco through to exquisite pram and pushchair brands like Venicci, ABC Design, Mutsy and Emmaljunga - you will be spoilt for choice.
But fear not as Katie and the team are on hand to guide you through the jargon and give you practical advice specific to your personal requirements - and budget! As one customer commented that they received “Very much appreciated, rational, practical and caring advice with the concern you’d expect from the mother herself!” And you can’t argue with that!
And now for one week only the Jack in a Box team will be hosting a very special showcase of some of their range at the Four Seasons Shopping Centre. As well as meeting the store team there will be representatives from some of the brands stocked demonstrating their products and on hand to answer any questions you might have. It’s a great opportunity for parents and parents-to-be to find out more about baby products - from prams and pushchairs to nursery furniture and car seats, come along and see the range for yourself and pick up a free goody bag (subject to availability). The showcase event will be held at the Four Seasons Shopping Centre 1st-7th May 2017 during standard centre opening hours. For opening hours please see the Four Seasons’ website or give the Jack in a Box team a call on 01623 631374. Or why not visit the Jack in a Box store - address on back cover of Lots for Tots.

A Unique Introduction to Music for Little Ones Fun weekly musical sessions with exciting themes, colourful instruments & amazing puppets Hello! I have been running Caterpillar Music classes in and around Newark for the last two and half years. My passion for working with children has been there since leaving school; I have worked as a primary school teacher for 20 years. I love watching children develop and learn new things; especially young children for whom everything is exciting and an adventure. Working as a class leader genuinely makes me smile every day. Each 40 minute Caterpillar Music Class is very relaxed; allowing children and carers to enjoy activities together, at their
own pace; exploring our weekly themes through nursery rhymes, puppets, musical instruments and action songs. If you would like to find out more and/or come along for a FREE trial session I would love to hear from you. Weekly payments are available for those who do not wish to sign up for a block of sessions. For more information about Caterpillar Music visit www.caterpillarmusic.com or call Anna on 01636 671883 or 07443 536758

Weekly Local Classes
Fun and skills that could save your child’s life We feel incredibly proud that we’ve helped save a number of very young children’s lives after they’ve fallen into water and survived – thanks to the skills they learned with us. Our world-class teachers could have trained as private pilots – five times over – in the time it takes to fully qualify with us. You can trust us to take the very best care of you and your little one. Let’s teach your baby to swim!
