Apologies, we've had to cancel the Monday class this week as I'm voice-less and ill, so can't sing or play! I'll be back on Wednesday at the Ivy House x

How long is each session? Thank you.

[lovelyrita]

Dandy - sorry I didn't reply, they're 40-45 mins long, although once the baby class settles in I might make this a teeny bit shorter.

Thanks to all you lovely people for a great 2014 of Nimble Tales, including some very fun Christmas parties this week! Nimble HQ is closing for our Christmas break very soon, but just wanted to let you know our plans for 2015, plus I've attached our shiny new flyer for classes. From January onwards, the drop-in price will be ?6, BUT you can buy a 6 class-card (no expiry date, and choose whichever sessions you wish) for ?27 - ?4.50 per class. Classes next term will be:

Mondays 2pm: The Old Nuns Head (Nunhead Green) - mixed age class

Wednesdays: The Ivy House (Stuart Road)

10am - 3-5 year olds (younger siblings welcome)

11am - 0-2 year olds

Full details, and you can also buy a class card at http://nimblearts.co.uk/?page_id=421 (or simply purchase at a class)

PLUS we're trying out some arts and crafts classes aimed at parents/carers with pre-walking babies, led by the marvellous Hannah who runs the rather brilliant Art Market East Dulwich. These are advance booking only, and will be held in Nunhead on the 21st and 4th February, and are a chance to do something creative and learn a new skill, in a safe, baby-friendly atmosphere (including tea!). We'll put proper meets up for these in the new year, but you can find out more, and book your space at http://nimblearts.co.uk/?page_id=1033.

Lastly! If you'd like to join our mailing list to get updates about Nimble Tots classes (and we've got lots brewing for the new year...), just drop us a line at [email protected]

Hi, I wondered if you had any clubs on for INSET day January 5th?

[lovelyrita]

HI Esme - we've just got our normal baby/toddler class on the 5th January, but probably not useful for inset day covering for older kids, something we should look into for future end of holiday days.

[lovelyrita]

Don't forget that

I've spent most of this evening juggling bits of website code, and you can now book in for any session, and pay online (if you'd like! Cash payment also fine) in advance at http://nimblearts.co.uk/?page_id=421 - you can use this to book in for an individual session.

Drop ins are also welcome, but to make sure of your space, and as classes get busier (I'll put on here if any classes are looking like you need to book) just follow the link above.

If it doesn't look, give me a nudge - I haven't yet tested across all different browsers.

Hope to see many of you tomorrow for the second outing of Olivia the Owl - a story about how mums are almost always right, with a a bit of Belle and Sebastian and Bach in for good measure :) x

[lovelyrita]

Don't forget it's week 2 of our new class at the lovely Peckham Pelican tomorrow! We're just opposite Oliver Goldsmith School, and near the South London Art Gallery. It's a great cafe/bar, with lots of space for toddlers and good simple bagel and soup lunch options.

It's our last outing for Olivia the sleep dodging Owl, we're going to be flying with scarves and cello music, dancing with bubbles and doing lots of shaking!

Drop in and join us, or use our sparkly new booking system to reserve a space...http://nimblearts.co.uk/?page_id=421 You can pay online or bring cash ?6 drop in (no extra for siblings) or buy a 6 session flexi class card.

This week's Nimble Tales, cello tunes, songs and stories for under 5s are all about Eric the Spider - when you're the new kid in town it's already tricky making friends, and when you've got 8 legs and a tendency to scuttle, it's even harder! Join us for music, bubbles and shakers as we try and help Eric out smile emoticon Our classes this week are:

Monday 19th Jan: 2pm, The Old Nuns Head (Nunhead Green) - all ages!

Wednesday 21st Jan: The Ivy House, 40 Stuart Road

[lovelyrita]

Tomorrow we're at the Ivy House again, come join us under the glitter ball for some spidery tales. First one there gets the comfy sofas (although I'll make sure I've got the cushions too!)

x

[lovelyrita]

There's still space to join us at the Peckham Pelican tomorrow at 11am for cello tunes, songs and a spidery story... We'll be at the back on the stage - don't be put off if you arrive early and it looks closed, the Pelican opens officially at 11am, but I'm normally in there setting up before this, so do come in and grab yourself a cuppa. x

[lovelyrita]

This week we're revisiting one of my all time favourite Nimble Tales, Snorglepuff the ever-hungry monster! Drop in and join us tomorrow at 2pm at the Old Nuns Head, Nunhead Green for bubbles, cello tunes and a particularly silly tale of monsters with rumbling tummies...

x

[lovelyrita]

My usual pre-Wednesday reminder! We're back at the mighty Old Nuns Head tomorrow, find us in the back room under the glitter ball, among the fairy lights! There's space at both the 10am (3-5s) and 11am (0-2s) to drop in and join us. Not very strict on ages, but the earlier class is livelier and more movement, and the 11am tends to be a bit quieter.

Come join us! x

[lovelyrita]

...And tomorrow (Friday 30th) there is drop in space at the Pelican! We'll be at back on the stage, and there's plenty of room for buggies. You can book in (and even pay in advance if you want) at http://nimblearts.co.uk/?page_id=421, but if you're spontaneous there should be room to drop in and join us at 11am!
