Welcome to Issue 13...

Lots for Tots North Nottinghamshire @LfTNorthNotts

Well those summer months seemed to fly by so very quickly and again we are playing games with the central heating system of seeing how long we can hold out before finally admiting winter is on it’s way!

There’s been changes a plenty in our household with my now not so little boy James starting Reception (seriously where did those 4 years go?) and also my step daughter Mollie starting university! All seems a lot quieter now at home these days! But both enjoying settling into their new surroundings and making new friends.

This issue is, as usual, full of great events and weekly sessions to go to with your little ones enjoy the time while they are small - I certainly wish I had done more! Make sure you put the East Midlands Baby & Toddler Show into your planners for Saturday 4th November (more details on the What’s On pages) as its a great way to find out more about the wonderful array of products, services and activities which are designed for families with under 5s. Have a wonderful end of the year and see you in 2018!

How’zat For Sporting Fun With Little Wickets Cricket sessions for little ones across Nottingham and now new sessions launching in Southwell...

Little Wickets is the brain child of Chloe Williams. Back in 2008, as the mother of a two year old son and pregnant with her second child (and with a husband wishing he had time to play more cricket), Chloe was on the lookout for something fun and active for her kid(s) to be involved in. If it involved cricket maybe Dad might enjoy it too.

She was inspired by all the great cricketing activities available in her local area but none of them catered for really little ones. So she started something up herself.

Little Wickets believe in encouraging children to partipicate in sport for life.

Which is why they keep their sessions small to enable them to deliver excellent coaching with the emphasise on learning and fun. “Whatever the kids’ ages the emphasis is always about joining in and having fun. The kids are having so much fun they don’t realise the FUNdamental physical and life sills they are learning” For more information on Little Wickets sessions and camps go to www.littlewickets.com

NEW!

Sessions now in

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!
