Little Leopards - Baby Massage & Yoga... Perfect for baby massage and yoga and more 🤗❣️

It’s my turn for the “we need you” post. As you will know from things I’ve shared, conversations we’ve had in class and things you will have seen from other baby class leaders the baby class world is really tough at the moment. Numbers are at an all time low, costs are at an all time high and we are rapidly approaching summer which is always quiet, even during good years.

I fully appreciate the cost of living crisis is real, that money is tight for everyone and in reality a lot of people just can’t afford classes at the moment but for myself and Little Leopards in particular having our own studio makes the current times especially scary. Our home is beautiful but the prime Pen*stone location comes at a cost, a cost which doesn’t stop when bookings do. I have never made millions from this little business but I really can’t be making a loss. In the 6+ years I have run Little Leopards this has been the most worried I have ever been about whether we will survive. I adore what I do, I put my everything into it, I sacrifice time with my family to make Little Leopards special for everyone who steps through the door and I would hate for all of that to be lost.

This is where you come in! Please please please spread the word, recommend our classes, mention us in group chats and pages and if you’re in a position to book a class please do.

I appreciate you all so so much and all of the support I get is incredible so I don’t want this post to seem like I don’t but the reality is times are changing, the way people attend classes is different and that coupled with increasing costs is making running a small business a huge challenge. Please support us in anyway you can to help keep us going ✨

Did you know it’s Childminder Appreciation week? 🤩

So let’s give a massive shoutout to the incredible childminders out there 🥰

Childminders offer so much more than childcare, they consistently go the extra mile and make a difference in children’s lives every single day. We see the hard work and dedication you all put in and I’m sure we’re not the only ones! If you have a fantastic childminder in your life, now would be the perfect time to express gratitude ☺️

To all of our fellow childminders - we hope you feel seen, loved and appreciated this week. The creativity you bring, the magical moments you create and the love and care you have for your little ones does not go unnoticed ♥️
