Today is and we feel that a shoutout to our fabulous class leader, jacqui is worthy on a day like today.

Jacqui has been running Twistin Tots for nearly 20 years. Classes were supposed to be a stop gap while her children were little but thankfully she continued long after that! She will certainly be missed when she hangs up her wiggle sticks in June! Thankyou for always being amazing! 💜

This week we’re on a trip to the Seaside and we’ve got a super easy Home Activity for you to do with your children…….Let’s make cute jellyfish together! 🪼

You will need:
* Paper plate                         
* Tissue paper and or lengths of wool
* paint / felt pens / crayons
* Googly eyes
* Ribbon
* Glue stick

How to make:

1. Cut your plate in half down the middle
2. Paint and allow to dry, or colour in with felt pens or crayons
3. Cut several lengths of tissue paper / wool for the jellyfish’s legs and one piece of tissue paper to cover the bottom of the plate – you can cut this piece out so it is wavy at the bottom and it will become the underside of the jellyfish.
4. Stick on 2 goggly eyes and colour/paint on some cheeck and a mouth
5. Stick the legs onto the back of the plate
6. Cut a small hole in the top of the jellyfish and thread through your ribbon so that you can hang it up.

Our Story

All of our classes help to develop young children, while also assisting with speech and language development and meeting Key EYFS requirements. They provide a useful forum for new parents to meet and make new friends and are great places for young children to interact with their peers.

Twistin Tots classes runs every weekday morning and Wednesday afternoons. On Mondays we are in Spondon at Freddy's Play Centre and at Belper Community Hall; we are in Belper on Tuesdays (Belper Community Hall); Matlock (Imperial Rooms - AM), Little Eaton (Village Hall - PM) and New Tupton (Village Hall - PM) on Wednesdays; Darley Abbey (Village Hall - AM) on Thursdays; and Ripley (at Planet Happy) on Fridays.

Our baby class, Twistin Tinies - suitable for babies aged 0-18months and their parents/carers - runs Tuesdays (Belper Community Hall - PM). As well as offering baby development and sensory activities, this class teaches parents activities and music to do at home with baby and offers the chance to meet other like-minded parents and share experiences over coffee and cake in an informal setting.

Our class for older children - Twistin Tikes, for ages 3-5s - runs in Nurseries and is loved by the children who experience it. It is just about to be re-launched as a “Public” offer at Care Homes. Watch this space for further developments.
