Whether you are interested in trying out a brand new softplay venue in Tunbridge Wells, seeking advice for raising your daughter, are interested in joining the Singing Mamas for some precious me-time or trying out Trinity Theatre’s Rhyme Time with your toddler, there are plenty of things to choose from around Tunbridge Wells this week…

♥ I haven’t had a chance to check this place out yet, but will be dropping in very soon! Oakley Fitness in Tunbridge Wells (near The Range – opposite and down a bit – where the church used to be) has recently opened its Softplay, Creche and Coffee Shop. The softplay looks like a good option especially for toddlers to explore on weekday mornings while parents/carers have a coffee and chat? Pics, openings hours and more info HERE.

♥ Smart Raspberry Cookery Classes offer pre-school sessions – a great opportunity to join in a fun but educational class where you don’t need to tidy up the mess! Plus take a tasty dish home with you each week which your preschooler has made. Book a trial to see what you think….Sessions take place in Sevenoaks on Mondays, Tonbridge on Tuesdays and Frant on Fridays. More info HERE or email jill@smartraspberry.com

♥  Join Kim McCabe, author of ‘From Daughter To Woman’ at Salomons Estate in Tunbridge Wells on Thursday 9th January as she discusses practical ways to make teenagers’ journeys safer, kinder and better supported, so that everyone can better enjoy the adolescent years. Taking place at 7pm, this is Kim’s first visit to Kent during her sell-out national tour.  This talk is for everyone interested in steering their daughters happily through their teens, from parents of daughters age 8 – 18 years, flummoxed grandmothers and caring aunties too, and anyone who works closely with pre-teen and teenage girls. Find out more and book your tickets HERE.

♥ Singing Mamas invites you to join them each week for 90 minutes of precious ‘me-time’. Sing together with women of all ages, whether or not you are a mama! Bring your baby, toddler, home schooler or come on your own – whatever works for you. It’s fun, uplifting and after the singing you get to enjoy tea and cake! Taking place on Fridays (1.30pm) at Brittens Music in Tunbridge Wells, find out more HERE about signing up for a FREE taster session.

♥  Brittens Music Colourstrings Kindergarten classes are a fabulous way to introduce music to your little rascals and to equip them with key musical skills and concepts as they grow. Focusing on the human voice, without distracting backing tracks and by carefully selecting the perfect songs, Colourstrings is a brilliantly structured, fun, multi-sensory and active musical experience laying the foundations of a love of music, from babies to children in Year 2. Taking place on Fridays, find out more HERE.

♥  If you fancy picking up a bargain from John Lewis & Partners in Tunbridge Wells then you can save on on hundreds of products across home and electricals from now until 19th January. Go go go!

♥  Rhyme Time is back at Trinity Theatre this Friday morning.  Join in with exciting action rhymes and explore some fantastic new toys courtesy of Whirligig Toys in the Trinity Theatre’s Kitchen & Bar from 10.30am – 10.55am (every Friday with the exception of the final Friday of each month). Just turn up – no need to book in advance and it’s free to attend. Free squash and biscuits for children. The Kitchen & Bar will be open from 9am. Suitable for ages 3 and under.
