Bubble snake blower

Summer

rafts CCraft

Playing outside with bubbles is an all time favourite. Cut the bottom off a plastic drink bottle, pull a sock over the bottom of the bottle, then dip the sock into a bowl of bubble mixture (washing up liquid & water). Blow through the top of the bottle and have lots of fun making bubble snakes!

Coloured Water Play

Nature Paint brushes

This water activity is easy and great fun – perfect for 1 – 5 years. 1. Fill two tubs with water and add food colouring to each. One with blue and one with yellow. 2 Set out a third, empty tub. Your little one will scoop and pour the coloured water into this tub. 3. Set out scoops to transfer the water, e.g. ice cream scoops, measuring spoons, serving spoons. 4. Let your child play! They will love scooping back and forth and seeing the colour change to green, yellow and blue.

Make simple paint brushes from nature and see what painty patterns you can create. 1. Go on a nature walk and collect ts of interesting pieces of nature – lots ves, bark, grasses, sheep’s wool etc. leaves, 2. Attach a piece of nature to a stick using an elastic band or a piece of string. 3. Layy out some paper and get some pots of paint. Try ry dabbing the brushes on the paper or sweeping them across it. Have fun, get messy and explore!

For older children, add a red tub and extra empty tubs to give them the chance to make more colours.

The Most Popular Child Development Classes in Warwickshire? Dandy Development, the unique combination of baby sign, music and sensory fun created by Warwickshire mum Nikki Sayers, is going from strength to strength with another national accolade this year.

Dandy just keep receiving awards!

Nikki launched Dandy in September 2011 so that that she could work around her two children. Dandy has gone on to win three successive national Networking Mummies Awards, including ‘Business Mum of the Year 2016’. These awards, along with three National What’s On 4 Juniors Awards, mean that Dandy Development is ranked in the top few classes in the country.

So why does Dandy keep on winning?

Classes are delightfully child-centred with fun at the core of its carefully created all-in-one curriculum. Dandy teachers really get to know every single child and they are encouraged to participate at their own pace. It’s a friendly, calm and educational approach that brings many parents back with their second and third child:

“Dandy Development is fantastic. We always have so much fun. Each class is pitched perfectly, just the right amount of signing and sensory with plenty of sing and play.” “Of all the classes I’ve attended over the years this one makes the others pale into insignificance.”

What happens in a Dandy Class?

The little ones have a huge amount of fun with carefully selected toys, handmade tactile parachutes and musical instruments. Classes follow a confidence building routine for babies and toddlers and every week is different. The fun includes Dandy’s rainforest, beach, books, puppet shows, messy play, bubbles, mirrors, light shows, instruments and so much more! Parents learn how to support their child’s development with baby sign and simple speech and language therapy techniques through a carefully structured program based on research. Each class creates wonderful bonding time where both parent and child are relaxed and enjoying time together. You can join in the multi-award winning Dandy fun all across Warwickshire in the autumn term with classes running through July and August in Leamington and Kenilworth. Visit dandydevelopment.co.uk to find out more.

Join us on 11th Sept for Dandy’s Big 5th Birthday Bash!

Barefoot is Best! Children's feet are very different from adults, they're wider across the toes, narrower at the heel and the inner arch is lined with fatty tissue. There are also large gaps between the bones, which are soft like jelly. Growing feet need plenty of freedom for muscles to strengthen, toes to learn to grip and spread and for bones to form in a natural position. Allowing them to go barefoot as often as possible is ideal but not always practical. 'Barefoot' shoes are designed with ultraflexible soles and wider rounded toes to reflect the natural shape of a child's foot, giving little feet the freedom to grow and move naturally. We stock a wide range of shoes made under the Barefoot principle with sizes starting from EU18 (Toddler size 2) up to EU38 (UK 5 - older child). Brands include Bobux, Livie and Luca and Pediped. We sell in-store and online. If you are local, it is worth popping in-store and we will be happy to measure your child's foot and find the right size / style of shoe. For more information please call on 01926 430000 or email us at sales@thecottonnappycompany.co.uk 16 July-Sept 2016 Toddle About

Controversy Corner

Reflexology

FOR FERTILITY

More and more couples all over the world are now having difficulties getting pregnant. Although most don’t like to talk about it, we know that this amounts to 1 in 6 couples here in the UK. By Barbara Scott, author of 'Reflexology for Fertility' and practisin

It makes sense that to preserve our fertility we need to take good care of ourselves and make sure that our health and well-being are at their optimum.

There are many factors that affect fertility and these can range from identifiable and measurable conditions that affect the reproductive systems of both men and women to the more nebulous and less easy to measure effects of diet, nutrition, lifestyle factors and the environment. One of the most important factors affecting fertility is age. Many women aren’t beginning to think about starting a family until they are in their early thirties, and given that female fertility begins to decline more rapidly around the age of 35, it can come as a bit of a shock that having a family might not be as easy as they thought. Professor Adam Balen, chair of The British Fertility Society hosted The Fertility Health Summit at The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists earlier in 2016. The key topic was how to inform young people that their fertility has a ‘sell by’ date, and that it is finite. Some interesting facts came out of the summit. • 52% of all births are now from women over 30 • 67% of all births are now from men over 30 • The average age of first time mums has risen from 24 in 1971 to 28.5 in 2014. Women are born with every egg that they will ever have and it is inevitable that these eggs will deteriorate with age. The rate that male fertility declines also increases from around the age of 40, although we know that it starts to fall prior to this. Although men are continually producing sperm, production slows down as we age and the sperm also tend to be less healthy.

The

g Reflexologist for over 20 years!

Many couples believe that if they cannot conceive naturally then IVF will be the answer. Sadly many don’t realise that the success rates of IVF are still low, at around 25% per cycle. Additionally, undergoing IVF can be extremely demanding on many different levels - physiologically, emotionally, mentally, practically and, of course, financially. NHS funding is poor for IVF and self-funding can cost between £5,000 – £15,000 per cycle of IVF. It is estimated that an average of three cycles are needed for each successful outcome. Increasing numbers of couples are now turning to complementary medicine and therapies to help them when they face difficulties in trying to conceive. Complementary therapies aim to support the more traditional approaches to medicine, and can be a useful adjunct, particularly for fertility issues. They tend to look at issues on an holistic basis, which means addressing not just the physical issues, but emotional and mental issues too. Reflexology is one such treatment that is gaining in popularity for both men and women. In a recent survey published by the Federation of Holistic Therapists, for 51% of those questioned who offered complementary therapies, reflexology was the main form of treatment used. Reflexology is a form of complementary therapy that has been in existence for many thousands of years, originating in ancient Egypt, but also used in India and China. There are apparently hieroglyphs in Egypt that depict this form of treatment being undertaken for the healing of ailments.

icon tells you which advertisers have a voucher in the centre pages

As with most forms of complementary therapy, reflexology is rarely available under NHS treatment. However, we are seeing more and more fertility clinics making it available as a form of treatment to support assisted conception. Although data and research are limited for complementary therapies, there are now some good pieces of research being undertaken that are showing how effective it is. ReproflexologyTM (Reproductive Reflexology) is a specialist form of integrative medicine that uses medical testing to measure efficacy and outcomes of treatment, alongside the most longed-for result of having a baby. It aims to help couples achieve conception naturally, but if this is not possible due to the complexity of their reproductive health issues, then it is used to support all forms of assisted conception. It is preferable that both parties attend an initial consultation, which helps the practitioner to assess their individual circumstances and plan their treatment. Treatment plans look at addressing any underlying causal factors that might be affecting fertility for both men and women. We also look at diet, nutrition and lifestyle as these can all be influencing factors. For women, this means ensuring that each stage of their menstrual cycle is functioning as effectively as possible. When working with men we use semen analysis to assess and measure progress and effectiveness of treatment, and aim to treat any underlying conditions that may be affecting sperm volume (numbers), motility (ability to swim) and morphology (formation).

In 2011, we formed the Association of Reproductive Reflexologists and one of the things this allowed us to do was to carry out a small data collection study of 180 cases. We found that 68% of couples conceived when using ReproflexologyTM as part of their fertility journey, typically alongside IVF. This compares with success rates of only 30% for those undertaking IVF alone. Even though this is a relatively small sample, the results of our study support our firm belief that ReproflexologyTM is an effective form of fertility treatment.

Success stories from some reflexology practitioners include: • A couple trying to conceive for 4½ years conceived after three treatments. • A couple trying to conceive for 6 years, with three failed attempts at IVF, conceived after fourteen treatments and now have a baby girl. • A couple trying for 4 years had two miscarriages, four failed IVF treatments and testing done all over the world offering no conclusion. After 3 reflexology treatments they were pregnant. • Two clients both with repeated miscarriages fell pregnant after 3 months of treatment which both resulted in live births. • After trying to conceive for several years, a client was told that she had a 1% chance of conceiving naturally due to egg quality. She fell pregnant after approximately 8 reflexology treatments. If you choose to use this as a form of treatment to support your fertility, it is important to find someone who is appropriately trained. You will find a list of trained practitioners at www.reproductivereflexologists.co.uk. Further information about how reflexology can support you in conceiving is available in Barbara Scott’s newly published book, ‘Reflexology for Fertility’ and at www.serennaturalfertility.co.uk.

It works in a similar way to acupuncture, in that it is based on improving the flow of energy through ‘meridians’, which are a set of pathways in the body along which vital energy is said to flow. Small ‘blockages’ can obstruct this flow of energy and it is here that physical, mental or emotional symptoms begin to present themselves. By working on these specific reflex points in the feet, reflexology aims to improve the flow of energy and therefore the presenting condition.

So how effective is ReproflexologyTM as a form of treatment? There is much anecdotal evidence that supports its use but we want to offer more than that.

published by

Reflexology works on the principles that every part of the body is represented in specific reflex points in the feet, and by working on these points we are able to instigate changes or healing in the body. The body has an innate sense of being able to heal itself and sometimes just needs a gentle reminder of how things should be.

Barbara Scott trained with Nicola Hall of the Bayly School of Reflexology and she is a member of The British Reflexology Association, The Association of Reflexologists, The Federation of Holistic Therapists, and is now Chair of The Association of Reproductive Reflexologists. She has been in practice for over 20 years. She lives in Wales. Toddle About does not recommend or promote reflexology as a treatment.

(Part of a series of articles on children’s emotional well-being by Play Therapy UK).

CHILDREN’S EMOTIONAL AND BEHAVIOUR PROBLEMS How you can help

The problems that affect children’s emotional well-being are many and varied. Over 60 have been identified with autistic spectrum and ADHD at the top of the list. Sometimes it is not obvious - a child may become shy because of lack of self-esteem or quiet and withdrawn because of traumatic experiences. You are not alone as a parent if your child has one of these issues. 10% of UK children have a mental health problem and another 10% are estimated to have an emotional or behaviour problem that prevents them reaching their full potential.

The Good News

The brain has plasticity – the ability to change for the better, for example through therapy. However the brain is most plastic in our early years, so it’s important that psychological issues are dealt with as they emerge – from the age of four onwards.

Be Selective

There’ss a wide range of therapies available. The most well-known is counselling, which is mainly a talking therapy which is most suitable for adults and teenagers. Younger children often cannot or do not want to talk about their problems so therapies that use play and the creative arts are more suitable for them. It’s essential to choose a therapist who receives regular clinical supervision and is on a register accredited by the Professional Standards Authority or registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). It’s also best to choose a therapy that has an adequate evidence base of clinical outcomes rather than just a knowledge base. The Register of Play and Creative Arts Therapists, managed by Play Therapy UK, is the only one that meets all these criteria at present. Search www.playtherapyregister.org.uk to find your nearest therapist.

Lessons in business how diddi dance became a national success

Anne-Marie Martin is the founder and owner of diddi dance, a successful pre-school dance school with over 40 franchisees across the UK. Here she shares the secrets of her success.

# 1 come to be?

How did diddi dance

After teaching dance to older children for many years I discovered a gap in the market for the preschool age after many parents and carers were asking me if I knew of any fun and funky dance classes they could take their toddlers to. After starting up my own preschool dance classes and having a few trial sessions I settled upon a syllabus structure that was successful in engaging and encouraging toddlers to find enjoyment in moving to music.

# 2 With over 40 franchises across the UK from How ow big is diddi dance now?

Aberdeen to Portsmouth, we currently cover over 30% of the UK and are expanding further every year. We are currently looking for passionate, driven individuals to open new diddi dance franchisees, in areas such as the Midlands, South West England and North West England if you’re interested!

# 3 I listen - especially to feedback from our

What is the secret of your success?

franchisees, teachers and customers as well as guidance from our experts in early years development, child psychology and business mentors. This keeps diddi dance evolving with the times. Our classes have been running since 2003 and they are regularly reviewed, updated and assessed to keep current and in line with preschool & EYFS standards. Continued overleaf

# 4 had your time again?

What would you do differently if you

What advice would you give to

I am really happy with the organic growth of the company and what we have achieved to date, but if I had to do something different I would have sought advice from experts in the business industry earlier in the development of diddi dance. It took over 5 years to develop the franchise side of the business and get it officially off the ground and launched, this process might not have taken as long with expert support earlier on.

What qualities make for the best franchisees? We look for driven, enthusiastic, motivated individuals who have a passion for working with children, movement & teaching as well as a want to run their own business and make it succeed. If you can apply these qualities to any business, there is no reason it shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a success.

www.diddidance.com/franchise/

# 6 someone starting out in business?

Research and passion. Make sure your business, whether your own or a franchise, is something you are passionate about so it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like a burden and therefore is more enjoyable for you. As for research - check for trademarks and do your market research so that you are launching your business with as much background information as you possibly can to make sure it will stand out amongst competitors.

# 7 diddi dance franchises?
