September is here! š
I think we can say goodbye to the air con in the hall now and keep our fingers crossed that we wonāt need the heating for a little while yet.
September is always a bit bittersweet. I say goodbye to some of my original little ones as they head off to school, and lots of mums are heading back to work after maternity leave. Itās exciting but Iāll miss you all!
However, Iām looking forward to welcoming some new families to the play sessions and baby massage sessions.
I know that walking into a new group can feel a bit/very daunting. I always try alto make sure everyone feels welcome from the moment they arrive. The families who come along are pretty brilliant at that too. Thereās always someone happy to have a chat!
So if youāve been thinking about coming along but havenāt quite managed it yet, September could be the perfect time to give Raise a try.
Come along, have a play, meet some lovely people and see what you think. Iād love to meet you!

Iām sorry to be joining in with everything else and putting my prices up slightly. I know costs seem to be rising everywhere at the moment, and I really didnāt want to add to that for you.
Unfortunately, the hall has had to increase my rent, which is completely understandable given the huge increase in their heating and cooling costs. Iāve done my best to absorb as much of the increase as I can and keep the change for you as small as possible.
I really hope youāll understand and, most importantly, that youāll still come along and play! š
Iām so grateful for everyone who comes to my sessions and supports my little business. It really does mean the world to me.

As weāre fully into the second half of July, I just wanted to put a post up reminding everyone that I will be open over the summer holidays (minus one week).
Play sessions are created for children under 5 but over the holidays older siblings are always welcome.
The hall has wonderful air con, so weāve been keeping cool so far this very hot summer.
August bookings are open and my summer parties are taking place the first week of August! Think seaside play dough, under the sea crafts, watermelon footprint cards, beach balls and more.
Iād love to see you for a play or baby massage session over the summer āļø
