In a bid to try to help with the regular queries of what weekly activities are on for babies and toddlers, I've put together an online resource for the ED community: EDtots.


It is a work in progress as there are a lot of classes to add to the list so I figured it might be better to post the link to it in advance of any grand unveiling so that local activity organisers can add their own classes at the same time that I work on building up the database.


It is free to use the site and hopefully anyone with a wee tot will find it useful. Unfortunately there are constraints on the size of files, etc on the site so I am unable to list masses of information on any given activity, but there are also links to the providers own sites so you can find out further details if you're interested.


If anyone runs a class and would like to add it to the list, please go to the New Activity Form page. If you attend a class you'd like to recommend, just drop me a message here or on the site Contact Form and I'll look into the details for the class.


Thanks!

Yes it's ace!


I think you should change the name of this post though - at the moment it looks like a post asking about activities, maybe something like 'I've made a useful site for babies and toddler activities' or something *even* catchier than that ;)


Thank you for making it!

Thanks everyone for the lovely comments and the PM's giving details of suggested classes. I don't have previous experience in creating a website so it is all a learning experience for me. Bear with me whilst I figure out how to work some of the gadgets and links!


Looking into advertising is also an item on the to do list, but will try to keep any adverts to a minimum so it is easy to find what you're looking for.


Cheers!

This is great thanks!


One thing to point out is that the site is not iPhone friendly. I can only see as far as the column 'term time only' on my phone and can't scroll across any further.


Some other things to add are jelly babies, rhyme time and soft play at the leisure centre.

I have enabled the mobile view. On my phone it means the sidebar (showing the days of the week) is minimised and you have to click on it to show the options. This should mean that most of the columns in the table are visible, but you may have to click on the top (All) button of the last column to see the full address.


I will see if there is any other way to adjust the table view, but for now this should work. I don't have an iPhone, so let me know if still a problem.

Evening all.


It has taken a while, but I think we have a solution for the iPhone scrolling issue. I've changed the Monday Activities table and it should now show all the classes without needing to scroll.


Before I roll out any changes to the other days, please do let me know if this now causes problems on other systems. Sorry - am sure there is a way I can test this on different formats myself, but as previously mentioned... this is all new to me!


Further changes will be made to make it easier to link from the Activities page to provider's websites and to improve little things (like freezing the headings when moving down the page), but for now would be good to just know that it runs ok for everyone. One known issue is that some operating systems may tell you the content may not be secure and you have to click ok to accept that and for it to run. For now, please do just click ok and will try to find a fix for that too!


Thanks for all the lovely pm's and emails received!



Edited to say... here is the link to go straight to Monday's page:

    • Not really since the first world war, and mainly in the sense then of 'getting a Blighty one' meaning a wound so serious you had to be sent home. I seriously doubt if one school child in 100 now would know what Blighty meant if the word was presented on its own with no context.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.
