4 reasons to start your splash tactic water adventures with Water Babies:
1. Our baby swimming programme is the only one to be accredited by the national governing swim body (ASA).

Our lively nursery is fun and exciting, we plan individual learning around the child’s interests and gain knowledge from parents about what the children like to do at home to help with each child’s development.
We cater for babies from 3 months up to children of school age and aim to follow the child’s routine when they start coming to our nursery to ensure the transition is easier. We understand that every child is different, so work on settling in children on an individual needs’ basis. We have circle time twice a day, where we all sit together. This allows the children the opportunity to tell us all about themselves. We have two Spanish lessons a day one in the morning and one in the afternoon, this gives all the children the opportunity to learn.
Our children are served seasonal healthy food which has been made by our own on-site chef. The children have two healthy snacks a day 10am and 2pm and we provide the children with a hearty lunch at 12pm and light bites for tea at 4pm.

EXHIBITOR: Holistic Sleep Coaching
I am a Holistic Sleep Coach working with parents to improve their baby or child's sleep. My approach supports many common issues including night waking, transitioning from contact naps to cot naps, supporting a child settle with another carer/parent, bedtime battles and night weaning to name a few.
In today's society, it has become normal to follow traditional sleep training methods (e.g., 'Cry it Out'). Mothers may feel pressurised to do so due to their conflicting priorities and need for more sleep and flexibility with where and how their child sleeps.
By setting realistic expectations of their child's sleep, I empower parents to be confident in understanding their little ones sleep cues and needs. I offer a personalised approach to the families I work with, bearing in mind little one's development phase, temperament, personality and child/mothers mental health.
I work towards the family's goals and child's sleep needs - not society's expectations!
