👀 These are the beautiful Nursery rooms inside our classes home at Caerleon Child Care Cardiff - Llanishen!

It’s a wonderfully welcoming Nursery, caring for tiny babies up to school age!
The staff are all absolutely wonderful & the children are really well looked after! They are led by the really excellent Manager Meg & her excellent senior team of staff ❤️ including lovely Jules who lots of you see at classes 😍

I am lucky to spend time with all of them around running my classes and I’m pleased to say how lovely they all are! (I am fully DBS checked, a standard part of my business, & Caerleon took character references for me before I moved in plus I’ve worked with them before, just in case anyone questions that! They are very thorough, just like me)

They have made me SO welcome this year, I want to help spread the word about them. (I am not on commission, I just like to help!)

🧡The older children have special supervised SWIMMING LESSONS over the road at Llanishen Leisure Centre, there’s PRIVATE PLAY TIME for the Nursery kids inside JUMP every morning, they offer TERM TIME ONLY places if you or your partner only work term time, they have regular OUTDOOR PLAY in the garden area and in school holidays our lovely classroom The Cwtch is transformed into SCHOOL HOLIDAY CLUB, where they have such a fab timetable of activities for school aged children!

🧡Their website is in the process of being updated after feedback from my lovely families and they collect their reviews on the Day Nurseries website, where every review on there is written by an actual family who have recently attended the Nursery so you can guarantee you are reading genuine feedback.

They offer no obligation tours, because you def need to have a look round to get a feel of a Nursery don’t you 😍& their phone number to arrange a tour or for any questions is 02920 763679!

I’m really happy to be able to highly recommend Caerleon Child Care - also as a Mum myself as my own children went here when they were little 😍

Me ‘not working’ in the job I love 😂😂

👀 All the little bits you don’t always see that add up to what I offer each week at my Baby & Toddler classes & Courses 😍😍

Equipment cleaning, resources making & repairing, replying to alllll the emails & messages, social media & advertising, setting up, packing away & cleaning our beautiful room, loading & unloading the car & then my storage area, taking our class donations back home and then loading them up & delivering them to Cwtch Baby Bank….and then remembering everyone’s names and delivering the actual classes! Phew!! There’s more that goes in than lots of people realise!

I do absolutely love my job…but I do absolutely work really hard!!

Last week of Summer term be like… ❤️

🍃 This week we developed the Tots Sense of Smell with my yummy homemade Peppermint & Rosemary Sensory Rice & my Orange, Lemon & Lime icebergs! It smelt lush in our classroom this week!!

We also enjoyed our usual mix of strengthening yoga & mood busting movement, my rhythm sticks came out for my Social & Younger Social Tots while we developed their rhythm, we popped lots of bubbles and Signed about things Totsy Monkey likes to do at Social & Younger Social Tots & handy nappy changing Signs at Discovery Tots 😍

Thank you all so much for coming this term!! It’s been a real pleasure to have you & your beautiful children! They have all progressed so well through the activities each week, I’m so proud of them all! 😍
And I’ve loved watching you guys chat, have fun & go for a drink together after class each week!

👀 Are you looking for a fun & welcoming class for you & your baby or toddler in Cardiff that combines developmental activities for them with community & friendships for you?

👋 Hi! I’m Kate & I’ve been running my Tots Play classes in North Cardiff since 2014!

😍 I’ve a complete play programme of classes for you & your Tot to progress through as they get bigger, suitable from birth up to 2.5 years!

✅ My classes combine baby & toddler Yoga, Sensory Play, Baby Massage, instruments, parachute, bubbles, Sign, music & movement, tummy time techniques…the list goes on!

📆 All in a weekly class during school term time (as I work around my own daughters 😍) where I gently encourage friendships, remember you & your Tots name every week and get to know you both & where there’s open invites to stay & play in Jump Soft Play next door or over the road to Moo Moos for a coffee ❤️

Your Tot is encouraged to join in in their own unique way and at their own pace and I gently encourage every Tot to help build their confidence as well as their core developmental skills ❤️

“Sorry to message you so late at night”
“Sorry to message you on the weekend”
“Sorry to message you so early in the morning”

You don’t need to apologise about what time you message me! No, honestly! Hear me out…

Since giving in & finally (after TWELVE YEARS of running Baby & Toddler classes!!) getting a separate work phone this term it’s been a bit of a game changer for me!

I might be obsessed with my classes and being self employed means I work most days (like here, last night filling these Baby Development Massage Oils ready for my September Courses ❤️!!) BUT my kids are growing up so quickly, I started this business to spend more time with them and what example am I setting to them if I’m constantly on my phone, constantly working, not giving them my full attention & not taking downtime for myself?

Plus my physical burnout at the end of each half term is something I need to personally manage better 🥰 Running each class is so physically demanding and uses so much energy, I need to manage this better and take more down time.

I’ve been practising really hard 😬 and my work phone goes off before I do the school run and doesn’t go back on until I get to work the next day plus it’s off all weekend 🙌

You can message me anytime you like & I’ll get back to you as soon as I can - when I’m working & around classes, prep, cleaning…!! Just please bear with me, I’m not Amazon 😉 but a working Mum too ❤️

How do you guys switch off from work and what do you do to relax each day?

👀 Look at all these Dads!!

Daddy & Me classes on Saturday were just brilliant again this month!!

Giving Dads time & space to slow down, connect & have fun with their Tot with no distractions and with activities they can easily recreate at home in the week whilst chatting with other Dads….why isn’t there more of this??

Im taking a break in August but my September to December Daddy & Me monthly Saturday classes are up on my schedule & open for bookings! All welcome, link on my bio!!

🎈I’ll be celebrating 2 whole years of my Daddy & Me classes this October! Two years this summer since that one fantastic Dad gave me the idea that started this ❤️

Thanks for coming on Saturday Dads, you are all brilliant and it’s a pleasure to welcome so many of you back month after month as well as welcome Dads along for the first time!

🧺 Hope to see you all at my Family Picnic next month!! Be lush to have you there!
