    Great mentor and a very positive person that encourages mums to put themselves first whilst offering child friendly classes

  11. Engineering for Kids (Chelmsford and Braintree) for best new class. There was such a gap for something like this. Huge fun for school age children making things and learning too.

  12. Little learners south Colchester, such a great class. Learning and developing with messy play and dry play, with special events throughout the year. So much fun, mess and giggles to be had every week. Highly recommend.

  14. ClaireyPoppins for best Childminder! My daughter absolutely loves Claire and Julie. They do everything and more with the children

  15. Kate from Lingotot Southend runs the most fun and engaging language classes. We’ve been enjoying online lessons in lockdown and my four year old son loves Lingotot. Thanks so much Kate- would highly recommend! X

  16. My children both love going to Little City. It’s the only class we’ve found that caters for a wide range in ages and I feel comfortable as a Dad to take them. The toys are always immaculately clean and it’s a very friendly atmosphere and my two never want to leave!

  17. The Kids Are Playing on Facebook or Instagram has lots of suggestions of local events and places to go. There is always a new place we haven’t visited!

  18. Colchester miracle support group has grown from strength to strength they now have many support groups around Colchester. They offer friendship, help and support to mums especially who have had such a worrying stressful crisis while their babies have been in the Neonatal unit. They have all been through this worrying time and it is very reassuring to have a friendly mum who has been through this themselves. They have also raised thousands of pounds to support the Neonatal unit to purchase equipment and have recently refurbished the children’s/parents room. This has been very gratefully received by staff and parents. The Colchester Neonatal medical and nursing team all recommend this fantastic support group who work tirelessly to help families in crisis. Neonatal Ward Manager Sister Karen Moss .

  28. The Rock Project Maldon has schools in Danbury and Wickford and is amazing for children’s social skills and confidence. Music reaches children on a different level, it’s fantastic.

  29. Hayley from Happy Little Minds with Hayley is doing an amazing job with the children she encourages to find themselves , and gives hope to both them and their parents who thought no help was out there , and shows that with a little belief and trust what only can be achieved . She is an amazing young woman whose own personal situation has given her the insight to help and make a wonderful difference to others .

  30. Little Steps Gym at St Aidans Church (Leigh on Sea) is my little girls favourite class. She has been attending for a few months and I have seen her confidence grow. The teachers are always so friendly and on hand to help with your little ones as they play. Shame the classes can’t be longer than 1 hour! ☺

    The music is fab, the sessions are absolutely magical, informative and fun and it was different every single week! We especially loved the themed sessions like Under the Sea, Baby Pumpkin, and Space week!

  35. Leap along in stanway is a brilliant class to take your little one, it has helped with counting and the alphabet and the sit down work helps with concentration all whilst having fun. Charna is such a brilliant teacher and really makes these classes work. The organisation by charna and Maria shows, when the classes always run without any issues. We are on our third year and would recommend this class.

  41. I can’t recommend Tiny Tempos enough. My daughter has moved from the Tiny Tempos baby class into the toddler class and loves it just as much. It’s fantastic for their memory & listening skills. It’s without a doubt the best class we do and I am dreading her being too old to go anymore as I will miss it so much !
