Are you in need of a bit of pampering? Have you tried reflexology?  It is a great way to gain a boost, both for body and mind.  If you haven''t tried it before, now is your chance!  We are pleased to announce that Hayley from Sole Nutrition will be coming to Beeston Bumps and Babies on Tuesday 3rd July to run some reflexology mini-treatments.  These will cost just £3 for a 15 minute session and Hayley will give you a generous money-off voucher against a full treatment at her centre in Stapleford.  


For more information or to book a mini-treatment, please email me on annabellenct@hotmail.co.uk   as I am taking the booking on behalf of Hayley.  Appointments start at 10am and you pay on the day.  The rest of the session will happen as usual - tea, cakes and biscuits, as well as lots of great company!!

We will be closed this week (Tues 19th June).  Open again as usual 26th June through to the end of term.  Hope to see you next week!  Annabelle; [original article]

We are back open this week!!  To kick off the new half term, we will be joined by Hayley from Sole Nutrition who will be talking about her fantastic Baby Massage and Baby Yoga courses.  But its not all talk!  Hayley will lead us in a taster, introducing us to some of the techniques she uses in her classes.  What a great way to start your Tuesday morning!

Tea, coffee, cake and biscuits as usual!  Hope to see you there!  Annabelle x; [original article]

Closed for half term

Thanks to everyone who came along to Bumps & Babies yesterday.  We are now closed for Half Term and will be open again on Tuesday 12th June.

Some mums have been bringing in their unwanted baby & maternity items recently which have been successfully re-homed with other group members.  I thought we could develop this into a great service so if you are having a clear out over the Bank Holiday, keep hold of any items you no longer want and bring them along on the 12th.  Examples of things that have been donated over the last few months include packs of nappies, wipes, breast pads, bed mats and even clothing!  Any items that do not immediately find a new home can be stored in our storage cupboard.

Have a good break.  Lets hope the sunshine continues! Annabelle x; [original article]

Sticky Fingers next week!

Sticky Fingers will be visiting Bumps and Babies next week!  If you haven't seen them before, I will briefly explain what they do.

Mandy and her team bring along a range of ceramic items for you to choose from. They are reasonably priced and great quality. The range includes mugs, plant pots, tea pots, plaques, coasters..... and lots more! You then select your colour and they will put your baby's footprint onto your selected items. With younger babies it is harder to get a hand print as they tend to curl their little fingers up! You then tell the team what wording you would like and any decoration. They then take the items away, finish the decoration, glaze and fire them. The stuff is usually returned to me approx 2 weeks later and I will return them to you at Bumps and Babies.

We have organised this at short notice as we have realised that Fathers Day is coming up mid-June and we wanted to give you the opportunity to make some lovely gifts! Of course would also be suitable for grandmas, grandpas, aunties, uncles etc or just a treat for yourself! (Hattie made a fab plant pot last time with her hands and finger print ladybirds which is all mine!!)

Payment is cash, cheque or card.

Mandy takes up quite a bit of space in the room so we will borrow the next room down to park the buggies. If you don't want to make anything, never fear! The cake and biscuits will still be here!
Hope to see lots of you next week!!; [original article]

Beeston Bumps & Babies breaks for Easter 27th March

A reminder that Beeston Bumps & Babies is only open during term time so our last session will be Tuesday 27th March. We are then closed for TWO weeks, opening again Tuesday 17th April.

Those of you who have been before will have no doubt met my daughter Hattie. She is coming of age (gulp!) and the 27th will be her last session as she will be attending pre-school every morning after the Easter hols. To celebrate we will be bringing extra cakes in (chocolate at her request!) and we would love you to share in this special session with us. Even if you have moved on from Bumps & Babies, we would love you to pop in to say hello if you are around.

Hope to see lots of you next term! Annabelle & Hattie; [original article]
