Priority Registration has opened for our brand new summer term

The end of our Spring term is approaching and this week its Priority Registration for all those currently enrolled in classes. Don't miss out, as next week general registration begins for lots of new little people to join us after Easter. Many of our 'babies' will be moving up to Our Time classes with the big boys and girls, so if you feel like easing yourself in gently then arrange to come along and visit a couple of Our Time sessions first.

We've had the very lovely and talented Mandy Charlton in classes this week, and next, snapping away and capturing some beautiful images of the children singing, dancing and bouncing. She's currently looking for models of all ages as she's putting together an exhibition titled Dressing Up. If you fancy getting involved then choose your favourite outdoor location, and ask the kids what they'd like to wear....be it tutu and wellies, Minnie Mouse, Bob the Builder, or you could even wear your wedding dress!

I cant post any pictures on here just yet, but it won't be long I promise! All our Kindermusik children are so full of character and it bursts out of these photos.

www.mandycharlton.com for contact details. I'll be sending out a link to everyone very soon so you can view your pictures.

Remember to register this week as places are in short supply.

Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday to you...

It's party season, March seems to be the month for birthday parties and I'm partying every

single weekend in March, and April is filling up quickly too. Of course I'm Kindermusik partying, is there any other? My favourite recently has to be gorgeous Jonathan who turned 3, and invited all his nursery friends to join us as we muddy puddle jumped, skipped, swooped, swirled and twirled.

I emailed his mum immediately afterward to thank her for asking me, and for making me feel so welcomed, and received a really lovely reply:
Dear Suzanne,
It is you who deserves all the thanks, you made it great, we ALL had a good time (children and adults. You are so natural and close to the heart that it couldn't have possibly got better. A great big thank you.

It is an enormous privilege to be invited to be a part of a special celebration, be it 1st birthday, 2nd birthday, 3rd birthday, 4th birthday or 5th birthday, they are all equally as special and just as much fun. This weekend finds me at a very special 1st birthday, and 3rd birthday and a 4th birthday, phew, serious amounts of party fun!!!

If you are planning ahead, then drop me a line (as much notice as possible is good). Tips to remember when booking a venue; a church hall is always a good option, a nice big empty space, ideally no soft play or toys around to distract us or trip us up, and obviously somewhere warm and clean. Keep party food nice and simple, draft in lots of help from aunties, uncles, grannies and grandads so you can join in with the party and enjoy it too! I've taken my first booking for June, so don't leave it too late...

Happy Birthday to all our March birthday boys and girls!

The importance of a child in our lives...

Here's a quote for you to mull over....
"A hundred years from now...it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove...but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child".-Kathy Davis.

Just looking at some of our Monday afternoon mummies and babies its quite clear how important they are in each others lives. Finding the time to be together quietly is difficult to squeeze into a daily routine, but babies learn through intentional touch and focused listening time. The mummies faces are filled with love for their little ones, and just look at our bigger babies connecting with each other. May there always be sunshine is one of our favourite bits of the class as it allows everyone time to relax, reflect and wind down...we all need a little of that every day!

I'm off to the North East Baby Roadshow this Saturday (12th March) at Gosforth Park Racecourse, so come along and say hello to me....
