Great Ashby Group

🐝🐛🦋🐌🐞🐜🕷The theme for our session this week is 'Bugs & Insects.' The children will get the opportunity to see and learn about different insects, as well as hunting for their own in the minibeast hunt. Join us at 1.30pm on Thursday for lots of fun!

🎵🎶 Rhyme time is a lovely way to end a fun filled session, and is a good way to wind down and spend some time bonding with your little one. 🎶🎵 This part of our session is for the benefit of the little ones', but for them to get the most out of it they need you, grown ups, to give them your full attention, so by sitting with your child & pausing your conversation for this part, it will really help. It isn't for very long and they really will enjoy it much more if you can be with them fully and help guide them with their singing and signing.

Happy Easter to all our lovely families. We hope you've had a really lovely day spending time with your loved ones. Love from the Great Ashby Baby & Toddler Group Team xx

Today we said goodbye to 2 team members - Vicky who is leaving us to work on her photography business & also Sam, who is leaving to have her baby. We can't thank either of them enough for all the hard work they've put into the group. They will be missed. This means we really do need more team members who can help to set up and run our group on a Thursday. Please get in touch if you can help, we simply cannot run unless we can find some people to help us out. Thanks in advance!! x

Thanks so much to everyone who joined us for our Easter session today. We hope all your little ones' enjoyed finding the pictures to make their word to spell 'bunny.' Happy Easter to you all from the team x

🐣🐰We're looking forward to seeing you all today for our Easter Eggstravaganza in the beautiful sunshine!☀️ Please remember this is a TICKET ONLY EVENT and they cannot be purchased on the door. Only 1 ticket left if anyone would like it. As it's a really busy session, if you're able to not bring your prams in we'd really appreciate that please due to lack of space.

Only 5 tickets left for 1 adult & 1 child for our Easter Eggstravaganza on Thursday. Please message to book. Many thanks.

We have some sad news to announce, that Vicky & Jilly Wiggles will be leaving us this week!😢Vicky has her own photography business Forgift Me Not Photography and needs to spend more time focusing on that, which is understandable. We will miss her so much!! Vicky has been part of the team since we launched last July and has given up every Thursday to help us run our group and make it what it is today, in particular the rhyme time. We know all your little one's will be sad to see Jilly going too, but she belongs to Vicky and will be going with Vicky on her photography journey. Thanks so much Vicky for everything, the team will not be the same without you!! xx

My baby son and I had a lovely afternoon at the new Great Ashby group today. Lots of great toys were provided and I liked the special area just for babies... away from the toddlers �. It was well organised and a great way to meet other mum's. We will be back!
