Cosy Mummas Thrive Tribe
Mums to be and new mums - From third trimester up to three months
Details: ***NEW SESSION FOR NEW MUMS AND MUMS-TO-BE*** Come and join Becky and Mindy in the beautiful sanctuary of our Oxstalls Campus forest school site. Our aim is to create a safe space in nature for mums-to-be and their young babies, to share experiences and challenges, and to build strong connections with new friends, each other and your baby. It is well known that being in the outdoors is known to calm, restore and relax, creating a space for good mental health and well-being for both mother and baby - If mothers are calm then often the baby also calms. We will provide a nurturing space with hot drinks, snacks, cooking on a campfire and nature activities based on seasonal themes, building appreciation and connection to nature and supporting you to get outside with your children, no matter what age they are and whatever the weather! **Please ignore the labels on the tabs as we are unable to change these** The sessions run during term time and must be booked as a 5 week block to enable the best outcomes. To ensure that these sessions are accessible we are lucky enough to be able to reduce the prices from £12 per session, due to generous funding from local sponsors and therefore, have set the cost at £2 per session (no charge for babies) = the 'book for 1 child' option, but if you are able to pay a little more you have the option to pay £5 = the 'book for 2 children' option and if you would like to support our Community Interest Company in providing more subsidised spaces, you can pay £8 per session = the 'book for 3 children' option.
