GOOD NEWS - Long Eaton Fridays UPDATE

The Elms Friday group will continue over the summer with the exception of the first two weeks of August unless someone would like to volunteer to host for those weeks.

Hosting requires you to make new members welcome and bring some milk along! Not too onerous really :-)

We're looking forward to seeing you during the hopefully warm summer months.

Any queries please call/text me on 07711 956779.

Long Eaton Bumps, Babies and Beyond (Friday)

Weather permitting, it is The Elms Sports Day tomorrow which means there will be lots of parents parked on the campus; they will be parked from when they drop their children off at 8.30am.

This will make it slightly more difficult to park and you may need to park on Derby Road and walk onto the campus.

Apologies for any inconvenience.

What's on in Long Eaton?

A dad who came to Bumps, Babies and Beyond at The Elms this week asked if we had a listing of all the local groups suitable for him and his daughter to attend. We haven't, although I've been meaning to do one for a while.

There are our Thursday and Friday NCT groups, we know about them but mostly the information about other groups is passed on by the parents as they sit and talk.

If you attend a group in Long Eaton, or you run, one, please let us know about it. We'll compile a "diary" and then we can let people know about it. You can post the information on this thread on our Facebook page or email details to suewoollett.nct@gmail.com

Please include:

- day
- time
- venue
- contact details (phone/email)
- very brief description if it isn't obvious
- whether you run term-time only or throughout the year

Many thanks

Cancelled next week - Long Eaton (Friday) Bumps, Babies & Beyond

Next week the Friday NCT Bumps, Babies and Beyond will be closed. We try to stay open during school holidays if possible but it depends if there is someone available to take responsibility for the group and the Nursery.

Parents who would normally attend the Friday group are more than welcome to attend our Thursday group instead, at St John's Church Hall, corner of Canal Street and College Street, Long Eaton, NG10 4GA. The group starts at 10am and next week, on Thursday 2 June, Sticky Fingers Pottery Painting will be there, giving you the chance to make unique Fathers' Day gifts by having your child's footprint put onto various items of pottery.

Have a lovely Bank Holiday weekend - let's hope we get some sunshine!

Last B&B session of 2010

Tomorrow, Thursday 16 December, will be our last session of 2010. We will be joined by Baby Sensory who will be demonstrating one of their classes, and children from The Elms Junior School who will be singing a few Christmas carols.

The Elms Nursery will be our new home for Bumps and Babies from Friday 14 January. The times of meetings will be changing - we will start at 9.30am and finish at 11.30am. We will be welcoming everyone from Bumps to Toddlers but please note this isn't a group at which you can just drop your toddler and go - a parent or carer will need to stay with the child.

Our Thursday group may be continuing but only if we can find some people to help run either the baby group or the new group. It isn't a huge commitment - I'll continue to take all the phone calls, and ensure all the coffee, tea and biscuits are topped up. We just need a few people who are happy to be responsible for welcoming new parents to the group and introducing them to others with similar-aged babies.

If you could help, please call me on 07711 956779.

Many thanks

Long Eaton B&B - What's Coming Up

As I write, there is snow on the ground but not as much as predicted and in fact it sounded like it was melting when I opened the door to let the cat out. I hope to open Bumps and Babies every week until 16 December, regardless of the weather, because it's not too far for me to walk from my house. If for any reason I can't, I will post something on here. Please check each week if you are concerned.

Here is a reminder of our final few weeks' programme for 2010.

Thursday 2 December
Award-winning photographer Kay Oliver will be setting up a studio in the church hall and doing mini portrait sessions. Please bring along your child's favourite blanket, toy or outfit.

Sticky Fingers should be in this week bringing the pottery back that we created a few weeks ago. Mandy normally arrived about 11am so she can quickly give everything out.

Thursday 9 December
Harriet Daines, a medical student from the University of Nottingham will be popping back to video more mums and babies for a study they are conducting at the moment. You can read more on our website.

Thursday 16 December
Baby Sensory are coming along to give a demonstration of how their classes work.

This is the final session of 2010 and our very last Thursday session in the church hall. I'm hoping some local schoolchildren will be coming along to sing some carols and get us into the Christmas spirit.

Our first session of 2011 will be on Friday 14 January, 9.30am to 11.30am and will be held in the Nursery at The Elms Junior School on the Trent College campus. There will be some parking available on site - follow the signs when you get through the main entrance. There's also usually parking available on Derby Road but, as with many places in Long Eaton, you may find it easier to walk.

From January the group will be open to older babies and toddlers as well as newborns. The set-up of the nursery will, I believe, allow us to section off a quieter area for anyone who has a young baby and would prefer to be away from the older children. We'll also have use of the garden area for when the weather is good (or even when it's snowy).

If you'd like to know anything more about the group at Long Eaton, please feel free to give me a call on 07711 956779 or email me.

The course lasts approximately 5 hours e.g. 10am - 3pm and costs approximately £15-£20 per person and will take place in Beeston. The course requires a certain number of people to break even, so unless the place can be re-sold, the fee paid will be non-refundable.

Mums and dads can come along (remember, the charge is per person, not per family) and you can bring your baby whilst you learn. You'll also need to bring something for lunch.

Long Eaton New Babies!

We had an influx of new mums this morning to Bumps and Babies. I was expecting Danielle and Wren but we had two other completely new faces - Anoushka with her baby and Julia with 2-week-old Arlin.

We were also joined by Fran & Nigel with 6-day-old Finlay, and Nora with Danny. We now have lots of very young babies which is lovely as our older ones are moving on to other activities and some of the mums are going back to work.

If you're looking for somewhere to go with your baby, please come and join us every Thursday morning at St John's Church Hall, on the corner of Canal Street and College Street in Long Eaton. A warm welcome awaits you (and you can help yourself to as many cups of tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits as you wish!); [original article]
