Splish, Splosh, Sundays

– Relaxed and enjoyable swimming classes for babies from 6 weeks (N11)

Butterfly, breast-stroke or doggy paddle. What’s your favourite style? Give your tot a head-start in the swimming stakes – and get ready for your break in the Winter Sun – with Ann’s Swimming Club.

Tots from 6 weeks old enjoy being in the water – and you (or your partner) will too. The weekly 30 minutes classes go by in a flash as you dance and swim to different nursery rhymes all the while learning important lessons for the water-borne. You’ll love watching your tot learn to hold on to the bar. Or thrill to see your little one under water. (Babies are excellent swimmers due to their diving reflexes.) The relaxed atmosphere and Ann’s wise and caring manner make this an excellent place to learn (and to have fun!).

The new term has started so contact Ann on  07885 027 489  to arrange for your little butterfly to get some wings.

Classes are on Sunday mornings at St John’s Primary School, Crescent Road, Friern Barnet N11 3LB (where the North Circular makes for easy access) and cost £56 for a term (exact price may vary depending on the length of the term) or £10 for an individual session. Times depend on your tot’s age.

Boo Hoo!

– Halloween and Half-Term

Boo Hoo! No doubt a familiar nocturnal sound in your home of late as your little night owl calls you to welcome the witching hour.

And while the sleep exhaustion may have you seeing double, you’ve yet to come across a supernatural sightings. Or so you think …

Are you so sure those Boo Hoos are not the call of ghosts and ghouls? Think eerie nights and big frights.

Find the perfect place for your little Pumpkin this Halloween. Saturday 31^st October is the ideal night for some frightful(ly cheesy) family fun.

Use Mini-et-Moi.com’s Directory of Halloween Events to decide where you’ll be. And, let the trick or treating begin …

Month of Sundays

– What to do this October

You’re so busy tracking Junior’s development month by month, you haven’t pencilled in any plans for your own social calendar. Don’t let the month of October roll on without taking note of some of the fabulous family-friendly affairs we’ve found for you.

Take note

Start tomorrow off on a good footing, with the fantastic Children’s Party at soft-play Gambado, all in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital Children’s Charity. With s special pre-schooler’s party in the morning, and an afternoon tea from 4pm, this is one time you really can have your cake and eat it. 

Someone of Note

For an utterly amazing time, join Clarice Bean and Lauren Child at the V & A this Sunday for an awesome adventure through the V&A.

Make a Mental Note

On 10 and 11 October, take the tot to the family open weekend at the Museum of Transport’s Depot in Acton for action-packed transport tales and railway rhymes.

Swap Notes

With One Little Word, thespians can head to the Lyric in W6 or the Arts Depot in N12 to enjoy this tale of two friends who both want to be captain of the ship. Sounds familiar.

With choices like this, you may be wishing for a month of Sundays. 

What Mini says:

There’s no question that my mummy’s my flavour of the month, month after month.
