Posted on by Stephanie Scott

Who can remember being outdoors building dens, climbing trees, making perfumes from leaves and flowers or playing with mud, stones or water? These types of childhood outdoor play experiences have been declining over time and children today are therefore having much less contact with the natural world.

Play Matters have created an info sheet of tips on how you can get outside and play

Let’s get Baby Moving

Posted on by Stephanie Scott

Baby Move is a programme that helps your baby stay flexible whilst also helping you stretch out your muscles from pregnancy. When babies are born they want and need to be chatted to, played with and loved and this programme is a lovely way for you to be able to do that with them.

The programme has many benefits for your baby:

  • Improves digestion and provides relief from colic
  • Strengthens their muscles to help them sit up, crawl and walk
  • Helps baby relax and settle them into sleep routines
  • Encourages brain development
  • Builds their confidence and trust
  • Keeps them flexible when they grow older

Saying Goodbye

Posted on by Stephanie Scott
Saying Goodbye are running a remembrance service on 3rd of June in St Anne’s Cathedral for anyone who has either personally lost a baby at any stage of pregnancy, at birth or in early years, or who has been affected by a family members or friends loss.  Whether the loss was recent or 80 years ago, everyone is welcome to attend. We have also extended the services, and gladly welcome anyone who is grieving the fact that they haven’t had children. This may be due to circumstance, infertility or for other reasons – but all are welcome. Babies and children are also invited to come with their family, as the Saying Goodbye service is truly a family event for all.
