I am looking to see if anyone would be interested in purchasing my resources from my successful Nurture & Natter class and Nature babies class.

It is with a heavy heart that I have realised that with the commitment needed in my new role that it is unlikely I will have the time to run the class in the future.

Both classes I feel were very unique as there was a true focus on both baby and mummy wellness. I would be happy to share the structure of each class and activity ideas.

With the resources I have you would only need to find a venue and you are good to go 👍 all you would need is passion to support babies and their mummies and to enjoy a good old nursery rhyme 🥰.
Resources will include baby mats, soft furnishings, sensory resources, wooden toys, baby books,trays, demonstration doll, parachute, black out tent, sensory lights, all my photo props for Christmas, Halloween, Easter etc…
I charged £5 a session and each class had up to 12 space’s. Of course you would be able to charge what you feel is right for your business.

Please do get in touch if you would like to show an interest or to ask any questions. I really believe the local community would benefit once again from such a group and therefore would be be open to discuss offers.

🌿 I have made the decision to put the The Nurture Nest on hold 🌿

There have been many reasons behind the decision however the biggest reason is to spend more time with my family and to have one less thing to focus on in my life.

The Nurture Nest started through going through my own difficulties I was on Maternity leave and knew in my heart I did not want to return to a job I no longer loved. The company I was working for no longer shared my morals it didn’t care about it’s employees, many of which including myself had been treated unfairly but what was I going to do? I had worked hard before becoming a mum on my career and being a stay at home mummy was not right for me either. During this time my mental health suffered I began suffering with crippling anxiety. One thing I did know was that I wanted to give back to other mums and The Nurture Nest evolved.

I returned to work on reduced hours to continue running the business which I am so proud of everything I achieved, I never knew I had it in me to create a business.

I wasn’t happy at work, a job opportunity came up which looked perfect I have always loved support children with SEN and the role was still a leadership role for the right amount of hours and with opportunity of working from home. It was surely too good to be true? I applied and to my surprise was offered the job. It’s been six months of learning but I have loved every second of my job.

What I am trying to say is the biggest lesson I have learned is that I have listened and followed my intuition in the last year and this has lead to my mental health improving and feeling more confident in myself, I would even go as far to say I like myself, I am a good mum, a good wife, a good friend and by simplify my life I feel good… most of the time I still have 2 small children I accept life won’t be easy at times.

Over the last month I have deleted social media from my phone, and it’s been a revelation . However it has meant that I have not been able to be present for my business. Listening to my intuition once again I have decided to pause the business I am so thankful to every one who supported me and came along to my classes. 🙏💕

🌿 Catch up Naps 🌿

In my opinion the biggest cause of poor sleep is over tiredness.

With this in mind a great tip which I still use with both Rex & Nya is to use catch up naps.

When to use catch up naps……..

🌿 During nap transitions ~ When you baby transitions from 3 naps to 2, 2naps to one etc over the first few weeks every other day or every few days your little on may need an additional catch up nap to avoid over tiredness

🌿 Days after a nursery ~ Nurseries are great places for babies & toddlers however both my children are exhausted after. This could lead to an additional catch up nap or the need for a nap earlier and for longer. For Rex I ensure I do not plan too much of these days and that he has opportunities to rest.

🌿 Busy days over the weekend or while on holiday ~ follow the same guidance as above ☺️

🌿 Drink station 🌿

Introducing a drink station within your home is a great way to ensure your children are getting enough water during the day.

I have found through my own experiences the more I suggest or ask my children to drink the more they refuse or tell me they are not thirsty.
As an ex nursery manager I always liked to ensure rooms had a drink station for the children.
I therefore added a basket which always had a bottle of water for Rex and Nya straight away I noticed them both drinking more!

A drink station does not need to be anything fancy but you will need to always ensure that drink is available in the same place every day as consistency is once again key.

I hope you all had a lovely Easter weekend making memories as a family 💕

We certainly have enjoyed the long weekend 😊 I am looking forward to our routine resuming again from tomorrow. 👍
My anxiety certainly suffers more being out of routine I have ensured I spend at least 10 minutes on my yoga mat a day which certainly helps and I enjoy this time alone to gather my thoughts 🙏

Please get in touch if you would like to book a consultation I still have a few available slots for the month or check out my website www.nurturenestsuffolk.com

I am forever grateful for my wonderful hubby who always believes in me, loves me just as I am and is the best daddy to our 3 children 💕

One year a go we finally said “ I do” after delaying our wedding during the pandemic.
We had a small ceremony with only our family and our closest friends, followed by a reception held in at The beer cafe with live music, wholesome food and lots of dancing.
The day was simple but perfect 💕

🌿 Sleep environment 🌿

The environment we sleep in is important, it can either have a positive or negative impact on how well we sleep during the night.

I would recommend the following 3 things when creating the perfect sleep environment.
🌿 A calm clutter free environment.
🌿 Good quality black out blinds or curtains.
🌿 White noise or calming music played softly.

Don't forget your own bedroom you deserve more than anyone else a space you can relax, rest and read a good book before making the most of the sleep you do get!

Well sadly that’s a wrap!
We certainly finished with a lovely Easter special and although my gut instinct tells me stopping The Nurture & Natter class is the right thing to do I am sad to not be spending time with all my wonderful mummies.

My aim was to create a safe place for mummies to connect and share there honest parenting experience and support one an other and I feel from all the lovely feedback that this is what I achieved. I am so proud of this class and at some point in the future I will look forward to the doors opening once again. 💕

The Nurture Nest will remaining open and I will continue to offer
🌿 1:1 consultations for sleep, weaning, behaviour, potty training, fussy eating and lots more…
🌿 At home 1:1 baby Spas or group baby spas.
🌿 I can teach private group weaning, sleep, potty training workshops.
🌿 I also hope to offer 1:1 coaching & mentoring in the near future ( let me though if this is something of interest)

I will be updating my website with all the prices and details please do get in touch if you have any questions 🥰
