We
are a Leamington based family having a 10 month old daughter to entertain.
For the
first couple of months after bringing my daughter home from hospital , survival
was number one priority. As confidence grew over time, I quickly realised that I
needed to get out and meet other like minded mums, in my situation.
Where
do I find out what baby activities are going on in my area??
Who do
I ask about baby activities ??
Is it
expensive to join in the baby activities/classes??
Where
do I start !!
The local
Health Visitors was my starting point. They where helpful and gave me details on
some classes that they were aware of.
Attending
my first 'discussion class', whilst being useful and informative, was an eye
opener to what other activities and events that go on within my local community.
Meeting
a number of 'first time Mum's' also was one of the best things that has happened
to me. It can be a very lonely place, taking care of your baby and not
going out and about meeting people, however I was very lucky and met a lovely
group of mothers with babies all of a similar age. We see each other at
least once a week, which is lovely for the babies to play with each other, and
also great for us Mum's to 'Bounce off' ideas from one another!
If you
find this website useful, then please let other people know.
What drives us
Attending classes, with my daughter has been the best thing we have done.
My daughter loves to attend the classes, play with her friends, and gets herself
exhausted from all the 'play time' and learning she does. Our weekdays are
busy, with normally an activity/class on most days, which keeps both of us
occupied....and whilst my daughter is having a great time, I am also kept
sane, by my new found 'mother friends'.
The idea
to start up this website, was driven by the need to want to make other
'mums-to-be', 'mums' & 'carers' aware of what is available around them, and also
that there are so many Free classes/activities available, so that it does not
cost the earth to join in.
This
Website, highlights the cost of the classes, so that you are aware of the 'Free'
classes, but also ranges to the Term time costs of particular classes.
Non
Profit
BusyTots.co.uk is a non profit making web site.
Many
thanks and I hope that you have found this site, helpful and informative.
