I’ve had SO many questions from people asking what else I’m selling and for prices.

This is all I can remember off the top of my head 😂

Honestly, I don’t quite know what to say…

Today was the last time I’ll ever do a class. It’s weird to say that after doing this for 4.5 years.

Forwards and backwards is ingrained in my brain forever, hundreds of themes planned and set up and thousands of classes performed. All at an end.

People keep asking if I’m emotional. I don’t think I quite am yet, I think I’m just focusing on each step. I’m not letting myself think about it. I know it’s going to hit later.

I thought I was going to do this job forever. But businesses like ours are getting hit hard. The nursery hours, the cost of living and rising costs for hospitality businesses are just some of the problems for us all. I decided to make the decision before the decision was made for me and end on a high. Please keep supporting your local play cafes and classes if you can. It breaks my heart that new parents may not have the same support and community.

I just want to say a huge thank you to every single person who has stepped through the doors over the past 4.5 years. Whether that’s been when I was mobile in community halls, or at the Patch. Thank you to everyone who has liked, shared and recommended me.

Thank you to all of my regulars, I’m going to miss you all so much. Please keep in touch, I want to see your little ones grow! You’re all amazing.

The resource and toy sale starts tomorrow at 10 o’clock! We’ve been working really hard to get the Patch ready for you all coming. Everything must go, I have no space for anything in me little terraced house 😂

Thank you again!
