Dazzling December ‘Twas the week before Christmas and all through the towns. Parents were rushing and spending their pounds. The presents were bought and placed under the tree, the children were busy with a Christmas party (or three). The children will soon be snuggled in bed, with images of Totsy dancing in their head. There is one thing left for all of us to do, Wish a very Merry Christmas to all of you! Can you believe it is almost time for Christmas and a brand New Year! Where has 2018 gone? Thank you so much for your support and love that you have shown us in our classes, to our class leaders and to help us win our fabulous awards. Tots Play just wouldn’t be what it is with out each and
This time of year brings endless opportunities for your little one to use all their senses to take in everything happening around them. With displays of coloured lights indoors and out, the scent of Christmas goodies baking, festive music and bells jingling, not to mention that wonderful wrapping paper to scrunch, there is so much to absorb and explore and all sorts of learning and development going on in the process. We know that babies and young children learn best though, when allowed to discover these new experiences in their own way, so to make their Christmas extra special why not put together a treasure basket of sensory treats especially for them?

Now the good news is that this doesn’t have to be difficult at all. Your baby instinctively knows what is right for them what will support their development; there is no need to panic or stress that you’re not doing enough. All you need to do is nurture your baby’s natural growth and curiosity about the world and how they interact with it. Moving
Well, November brought the cold weather with it, but Winter being on the way is no cause for sadness here at Tots Play! In fact, a place to come in from the cold is just one of the many reasons to join us at classes throughout the Winter season. Not only are you assured of a warm welcome, but there is so much to get involved with at each session, from yoga to sensory play, and massage to music, there's no time to sit around getting cold! We have lots of special seasonal sessions and parties coming up this month too - if you haven't booked your space yet, get going as you won't want to miss out (read on for a sneak peek of what you have to look forward to at Tots Play this Christmas).
