Nimble Tots - cello, stories, songs and more for 0-5s, every day this week!

Recommended Posts

Just a week to go before it's time for me to shake off the excesses of Christmas and get going with the new Nimble Tots term, starting on Tuesday 5th January with regular sessions in Nunhead, East Dulwich, SE23 and Telegraph Hill! This January I've added more classes, new venues plus regular Thursday Nimble Adventures from Holly as well as my usual Nimble Tales songs, stories and cello tunes!


If you've not been before, Nimble Tales are friendly, story-based sessions for 0-5s featuring live cello and ukulele music for little people and their parents and carers. There are some sessions specifically for 0-18 month year olds, plus younger babies are also very welcome to the mixed age sessions too. You can come for a term, or drop in and PAYG. Most sessions are run by me, Becky, a professional storyteller and early years music practitioner, accompanied by my cello and a host of puppets, props and musical instruments, with each week a new story, ranging from feisty princesses, animal adventures and some traditional tales. Thursdays, as I'm with my own toddler (so will be there in participant mode instead!), are run by Holly, an experienced teacher, drama practitioner and creative genius. With the wonderful Laura and Amie making special guest appearances, we hope to be adding some more regular classes too in the next few months.


It's either ?6 per family (no extra for siblings) if you PAYG, or you can buy a 6-class flexicard for ?30 (and use this across any 6 sessions - no expirty date) or, if you're coming to the same session each week, you can book for a half term for ?4.50 per class. I do often get full, particularly for the East Dulwich classes and the the 11.15/30am sessions, so would always recommend booking in advance, although drop ins are always warmly welcomed if I can squeeze you in!


From Tuesday January 5th:


Mondays: 10.15am (mixed ages), 10.15am (0-18 months), The Green, Nunhead Community Centre, SE15 3TU (STARTS MONDAY 11TH JANUARY)


Tuesdays: 9.45am (mixed ages), 10.35am (mixed ages), 11.30am (0-18 months) at Punk Me Up Ceramics, 34 East Dulwich Road


Wednesdays: 9.45am (mixed ages), 10.35am (mixed ages) and 11.30am (0-2s) at the Ivy House, 40 Stuart Road, Nunhead

2.30pm (mixed ages) 3.30pm (0-18 months): The Honor Oak, 1 Saint Germain Road, SE23 1RH


Thursdays: Holly's Nimble Adventures!

9.45am (2-5 year olds), 10.35am (mixed ages) and 11.30am (0-2s) at the Ivy House, 40 Stuart Road, Nunhead


Fridays: 10.15am (mixed ages) 11.15am (0-18 months), Telegraph Hill Centre, Kitto Road


You can book in advance at http://www.nimbletots.co.uk/weekly-classes-for-0-5s/ - it's a slightly fledgling new website, so more info on this coming soon, but any questions you can message me here or email [email protected]! There will also be more Indie Tots discos happening in Peckham every month from the 14th February onwards, so announcements about these coming very soon!

Don't forget that whilst there's no classes running today (Monday) we're back every other day this week with lots of Nimble Tots creative antics for 0-5s and their parents and carers.


Spaces are fairly limited for 11.30am Tuesday, and other classes are getting a wee bit busy, so to be sure of a space, do book in advance - there's likely to be drop in spaces for earlier sessions, but I'm often full for the 11/11.30am classes.


Can't wait to get back into term and to see you all and hear your voices again!

This week we're back with Nimble Tots classes every day! Nimble tales has the story of Super Dog (plus usual cello tunes, songs and shakers), and the wonderful Holly is back this week on Thursday for her storybook based adventures at the Ivy House!


After a super busy week last week, I'd advise booking in to be sure of your spot, as class sizes will be capped so that we're not too busy - the 9.45am classes and the 2.30pm seem to be the quieter sessions with more chance of drop in room, but those around 10.35/11.30 can get quite busy (particularly on a drizzly day!)

Nimble Tales and Adventures are back again this week, with classes running every day, so come in from the cold and join us for stories, songs and adventure!


As I am still recovering from a ridiculous cold (I'm never accusing my husband of man flu again - I am top of the class with cold related whinges!), there will be a few different faces popping up running classes this week, as I'm trying to make sure I get my voice fully back ASAP. This does mean there will be lots of different stories, so you're welcome to join us more than once!


Full list of sessions and times below (including who's running what!), as ever, it's ?6 per family to PAYG, cheaper if you buy a 6 class pass (valid across any 6 sessions), and advance booking is recommended as we do get very busy at some sessions. I'll always pop something up on Facebook if we're full for a particular class, but as a general rule the 10.30/11 sessions are pretty busy, as is 3.30pm on a Wednesday, and the 9.45am classes tend to be a bit calmer.


Monday - Amie covering this class this week!

10.15am (mixed ages), 11.15am (0-18 months) Nunhead Green Community Centre (56 Nunhead Lane- next to the Old Nuns Head pub and Nunhead Green playground) **Please note we have moved from the Dish and the Spoon**


Tuesday - I'll be running this one!

Thursdays: Nimble Adventures with Holly, featuring Mister Magnolia!

If any of you lovely people are planning to join Nimble Tales at the Ivy House, tomorrow (Wednesday) morning, do make sure you book in online by 9pm tonight! The lovely Holly will be covering the class, and I'm sending her registers this evening - after this, any spaces available will be drop ins on a first-come-first-serve basis. There's normally drop in room for 9.45am, 10.35am can get quite hectic sometimes, and 11.30am is already fully booked. I'll put a note on here with how many drop in spaces are remaining in the morning.

This week Nimble Tales are all about transport - broomsticks, cars, space rockets and more, whatever it takes, we need a brief January holiday! There will be the usual cello tunes, puppets, songs and scarves.


Then Thursday this week, Holly's Nimble Adventures will be about the Storm Whale by Benji Davies.


I'm too late for Monday, but coming next:


Tuesday

    • I've used just about all the locally available supermarkets for deliveries over the years, and I now  use Waitrose for deliveries, for various reasons. They have a good range of the things I eat, their food is good quality and their "essentials" range is generally good value (except the tissues, which suddenly became so thin as to disintegrate immediately. I was mainly buying them for the nice plain boxes, so now I just put other tissues into the old Waitrose boxes 🤣) It is very rare for something I've ordered to not be available on the day. Their delivery drivers  are genuinely friendly and helpful. Their customer service is very good. On the rare occasions I've had issues, they have refunded me without quibbling. They often have special deals on some of the things I buy often, so I stock up when they are cheaper. I do occasionally compare prices with other supermarkets, and overall I really don't think Waitrose is more expensive, but obviously they might be for things I don't personally buy. I absolutely hate Sainsbury's, would use Lidl for some things but they don't deliver, Iceland has a very small range of things I eat, and I can't remember why I don't use Tesco or Asda any more. I recently checked out Ocado because there was some offer which seemed good value, but they just didn't have enough things I wanted to buy to make it worth using the offer. M&S don't deliver ( to the best of my knowledge) but in any case they seem to be still badly suffering from the recent hack into their system. Apologies, I have just remembered this thread is about shopping at actual physical stores, but probably many of the issues are the same.
    • Since I am of a certain vintage now, not sure if what I am going to suggest is even still around but here goes… use to be able to buy “dummy/mock papers on line and also had mini synopsis of Shakespeare plays specifically covering students wanting to gain a better understanding of play before taking mocks/ exams. Only know this as many many moons ago, struggled with English Literature and Language and this was the avenue-my parents went down. Also was at this point in my life, educated abroad as part of my fathers job.  
    • Love your comment about “shoehorned” - put a smile on my face..! As for comment about “Little Waitrose” ummmm - never really thought about it. Personally, could not care less. But guess Sainsbury Local and Tesco Express are to you more acceptable.. Ultimately, when I think about it, I actually don’t care what they call themselves - been lured by partially branding and partially convenience and what they offer in groceries.
