Easter Holiday Eggstravaganza!

The Rescue Chair is back for an Easter holiday Eggstravaganza! Thursday 5th and Thursday 12th April Two sessions: 10 -10.45am 3-5yrs, 11.30am - 12.15pm 6yr-9yrs

It doesn't seem five minutes since the half-term holiday, but here we are at Easter. Sue will be reading and telling stories with an 'eggy theme' this time. The children come and enjoy a story followed by creative activities.
Sessions are suitable for children aged three to nine (each session is pitched at a different level) and cost £3 per accompanying adult which includes a complimentary drink in our cafe ... so come and 'take a perch' and relax with a coffee or a pot of tea while we entertain the children!!

Summer Fashion For Children

We have caught up with Kirsty from Button Nose Children's Designing Clothing Shop here in Bramhall. She gives us some stylish tips on what our children should be wearing this Spring/ Summer.

The buds are on the trees,the nights are getting lighter and spring is in the air. At last we can start thinking about our childrens Summer wardrobes. Believe it or not at Button Nose designer childrens wear, March is our busiest month. We sell more summer outfits now than we would in June or July.


New Baby Loves Massage Class

Baby Loves Massage welcomes any new parents/carers and their babies to come and enjoy some quality time in a relaxing atmosphere where you will learn how to effectively massage your baby, relieve any aches or pains such as colic or teething pain, have fun with other new parents/carers and most importantly, bond with your baby.

Whether you have a newborn or your baby is a few months old, come along and experience something new.

SleepTalk for Children

Jenny Harrison runs the Sleeptalk for Children program at Alexander Worsley in Bramhall. Here she tells us a little more about the program

“I can’t wait to go home and try this tonight at bedtime…” 

This is what most parents say when they have spent 1.5 hours with me learning this technique SleepTalk for Children. 

It all seems so straight forward and such a common sense approach that some may wonder if it can really bring about the positive changes that they crave in their daily lives.
