“No better start to a child’s life” – ITV News

“My times at Baby College are amongst my most treasured with the boys as babies and I genuinely feel all the support and fun I’ve had helped me to become the kind of mother I’ve always hoped to be.”

“We… really like that it offers such a mix of different activities. I found the weekly development topic fascinating and learnt loads (even though I had an older child!).”

“We really enjoyed Baby College and learnt so much! Thanks Heather, we’ll see you next term for more fun with Mr Crocodile.”

Sing and Sign classes have weekly themes that build week on week to create a 10 week programme.  Some songs will be familiar nursery rhymes and some will be new songs and they all link with the new signs for that week.  Each week includes props and instruments for the babies to choose and after the first couple of weeks Jessie Cat starts making a regular appearance!

Classes are fun and babies are encouraged to join in and move around however they would like.  At the end of the session extra toys come out for babies to play with while mums, dads, grandparents and carers can relax and have a chat.

  • If you're looking for inspiration for the half term holidays, or weekends now that the weather is warming up, then there's a post full of ideas on the blog.⠀
🦕🦕🦕🦕🦕⠀
Last year we were invited to go along and visit the World of Dinosaurs @paradisewildlifepark There are over 20 animatronic dinosaurs to discover in the woods. Are you brave enough to face the Velociraptors and the T-Rex? ⠀

  • Where did the sunshine go? I'm really hoping that we can have a few adventures outdoors this half term. After the last few weeks of coughs, colds and poorly children I think we need to get outside and blow away the cobwebs.
🕸🕸🕸🕸🕸
It makes such a difference to be able to leave the house without several layers, coats, hats, boots and all that, so I've got everything crossed for some warmer weather.
🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
I'm so ready for a little bit of sunshine. Is that too much to ask for in half term week? Okay... don't answer that!

  • Today was a day filled with blue skies and sunshine and it almost... almost felt like Spring!
🙈🙈🙈🙈
There I’ve said it... so it’s my fault if it snows next week ✨🤣✨ Don’t panic, the weather forecast actually looks good for the half term holidays so we can look forward to exploring and finding more beautiful snowdrops in the woods.
🍃🌿🍃🌿
There’s a huge list of ideas for things to do in the February Half Term holidays on the blog now if you’re in need of inspiration, including where to find these beauties.
💚💚💚💚
I’m just hoping that everyone in this house gets better soon so that we can enjoy one or two adventures. Send healing vibes my way. Happy half term!

  • 💕Happy Valentines Day💕. Just another day... or an excuse to tell the people that mean a lot to you that they're loved? 💕💕💕
We're having another slow day here with poorly boys 🤧 and I'm suffering from serious sleep deprivation 🤪 . IT. NEVER. GETS. ANY. EASIER. 💕💕💕
Still... the sun is shining ☀️, we're nice and cosy and it's fun sorting through Love Hearts to find one with the perfect message on it 🥰. Thank you to @swizzles_sweets for these retro treats [gifted] #sharethelove #valentines #valentinesday2019 #lovehearts #love
  • REVIEW | Last weekend we brightened up a grey day when we were invited to try afternoon tea 🍰 for the family @cromwelloldstevenage because... well... freshly baked scones 🙋🏼 YES PLEASE!
✨🍰🍰🍰🍰🍰✨
The boys were delighted to discover that there is such a thing as a ‘meal’ that consists of scones and lots of different cakes 🧁 and it was a welcome change to do something a little more sophisticated, that also involved being cosy and warm indoors 🙌🏻
✨🍰🍰🍰🍰🍰✨
The scones were served straight from the oven, still warm, light and crumbly... the servings of jam and cream were generous... and it was a picture to see youngest child’s face when he bit into the lemon
meringue tart 🤣🍋🍋🍋🍋🤣
✨🍰🍰🍰🍰🍰✨
I thought the Traditional Afternoon Tea was really good value at £14.95 per person, or you could add a glass of Prosecco for an additional £5🥂🥂. The children’s Afternoon Tea was £7.95 per child. There are no re-fills but frankly I wouldn’t expect that for this money 💷
✨🍰🍰🍰🍰🍰✨
We were so full afterwards that I practically rolled out of the door and we went for a wander in Old Stevenage in an attempt to ‘walk off’ the cake. A good place to go if you don’t want to break the bank and still enjoy good service and freshly prepared treats.
✨🍰🍰🍰🍰🍰✨

  • AD | It’s freezing cold outside, winter has truly arrived! ❄️❄️ Brrr! ❄️❄️ So I was very happy this week when we were invited to enjoy some warm, indoor entertainment at the new @hollywoodbowluk at intu Watford 🙌🏻🛍🙌🏻
.
We all love bowling; it’s something we can all do together. I often find myself on the side-lines whilst the boys are having all the fun but bowling at intu Watford really is for everyone (recommended minimum age for a child to bowl is 4 years old)✨👌🏻✨.
.
As an added bonus parking @intuwatford is now only £2 after 5pm🚙, so you can enjoy the lanes👩‍👦‍👦 and stay for food in the diner🍟, without having to worry about the parking charges racking up💰. .
The boys want to go back soon and visit the new @cineworld 🍿and there’s @rockupadventure 🧗🏻‍♂️too! I’m not complaining... I’m happy to embrace some indoor fun whilst it’s icy cold outside. I might even be allowed to squeeze in some shopping 🛍🛍 and then there’s @gbkburgers and @modpizzauk or @yosushi to try 💁🏼‍♀️
.
The only problem is getting everyone to agree on what to do next 🤦🏼‍♀️.
.
Thank you intu Watford for introducing the new £2 flat rate for parking after 5pm, so I have one less thing to worry about ✨👍🏻✨

  • The sun was shining today. A blue sky makes such a huge difference to my mood, although the cloudless sky also meant freezing cold temperatures. 
I went to a new exhibition at @unihertsarts at the weekend that looks at colour and the the effect that it has on us. The photo is of a piece by Jacob Dahlgren which is made from thousands of metres of multi-coloured ribbon, which you can walk through. Simple and beautiful. Now I have to resist the urge to cover the whole house in ribbons and just try the colours instead.

If you want to take a look yourself then the best time to go is Saturdays 11am-3pm as parking is free. The exhibition is small but I enjoyed it and it's on until 7th February 2019  #colours #coloursnap #colourpop #colourinspo #art #artgallery #cultureblogger #hertfordshire #visitherts #visitengland #uharts #uniofherts #ukparentbloggers #pbloggers #pbloggersuk #ukexplore #explore_britain #momentsofmine
