Did you know...
We still run our Holiday Club provision, but it's now part of Leeds City Council Healthy Holidays initiative to support families during the school holidays with activities for kids -

Taking place at libraries, community centres and sport halls throughout Leeds - our packed-to-the-brim Holiday Club programme engages children in a host of different activities that inspire and ignite their imagination - all whilst trying out new ideas, giving kids the opportunity to discover new talents and develop new skills.

We're super proud and excited to be part of this initiative, and look forward to each and every session we're invited to take part in!

Just a little reminder for your Monday morning craziness… that to those little feet surrounding you, you’re their ‘WOW’ …because even though you don’t feel all that ‘WOW’ all the time (especially on Monday mornings!), you are in their eyes, every moment of everyday, you’re ‘WOW’ ❤️

😱 What, wait, huh, nooo, can’t be?

Yep, Series 2 - just had to look it up for absolute confirmation.

Sometimes parenting can feel quite lonely, Leeds Dads are an incredible group of people that bring Dads together (with their kiddies) to not only share parenting trials & tribulations, but also just to have a chat - and for the kids to have a play!

Their next get together is this Sunday, 3rd April - if you can’t make it, then don’t hesitate to follow their page for more upcoming meet-ups 😊

Staying Safe Online...
There's a lot of uncertainty in the world at the moment, and it's pretty challenging to know what media our kids are accessing or being confronted with.

Therefore, this week we have been speaking to and reading the advice from Thinkuknow, a top education programme which works to protect children online.

One of their mantra's is SMART - as seen in this image. If you can, click into our blog, save a copy and show/send it to your kids.

Also, click the link below to read Thinkuknow's top tips - and PLEASE do share any advice you have for others that are still navigating, and getting to grips with, children and the World Wide Web.

💫 Did you know...
Puzzles are a fundamental part of a child's development, and they can come in many forms, each one with its own aim and skillset.

We try to use puzzles in many of our products and so to help you find the right puzzles for your child, we have compiled a list of our favourite types of puzzles and an example of each - plus some free ones for you to download!

Anyone else have this exact same thought? 🤪😝

A ‘must read’ post (if you haven’t seen it already) -
Beautifully written and so very true ❤️

❤️How beautiful & true is this..

The Last Time

From the moment you hold your baby in your arms,
you will never be the same.
You might long for the person you were before,
When you have freedom and time,
And nothing in particular to worry about.

You will know tiredness like you never knew it before,
And days will run into days that are exactly the same,
Full of feedings and burping,
Nappy changes and crying,
Whining and fighting,
Naps or a lack of naps,
It might seem like a never-ending cycle.

But don’t forget …
There is a last time for everything.
There will come a time when you will feed
your baby for the very last time.
They will fall asleep on you after a long day
And it will be the last time you ever hold your sleeping child.

One day you will carry them on your hip then set them down,
And never pick them up that way again.
You will scrub their hair in the bath one night
And from that day on they will want to bathe alone.
They will hold your hand to cross the road,
Then never reach for it again.
They will creep into your room at midnight for cuddles,
And it will be the last night you ever wake to this.

One afternoon you will sing “the wheels on the bus”
and do all the actions,
Then never sing them that song again.
They will kiss you goodbye at the school gate,
The next day they will ask to walk to the gate alone.
You will read a final bedtime story and wipe your last dirty face.
They will run to you with arms raised for the very last time.

The thing is, you won’t even know it’s the last time
Until there are no more times.
And even then, it will take you a while to realize.

So while you are living in these times,
remember there are only so many of them
and when they are gone, you will yearn for just one more day of them.
For one last time.
