I know from experience that it can be overwhelming deciding on a class or group to take your baby or toddler because there are so many out there to choose from. So let me help you by telling you more about Bob Tales. It all started when I had my first child. Like a lot of new parents I felt a bit lost and I wanted to feel part of something. So I rounded up a few mums in West Didsbury for coffee (and lots of cake) and acted out some stories. It was

just a bit of fun at first. When more mums wanted to come along I gradually started bringing music and puppets and props. I named one of the puppets, Bob. I can't even remember why! But he became the mascot. Before I knew it, Bob Tales was born, and I had my own small business. That was ten years ago.

The Albert Club Toddler Session
By Bob Tales
Bob Tales is an interactive story and singing session bringing your favourite books to life with puppets, props and parachutes. After the session, there is the opportunity to stay for a play. The toddler class is for little ones on the move. Some parents might prefer this earlier time slot and bring older babies not quite walking - that is fine too. I know toddlers are free spirits. I don't expect them to sit still so please don't worry if your child likes to run around and explore at their own pace. Baby siblings under six months are welcome at no extra cost. Refreshments are available at the bar after the class. All adults are responsible for their own hot drinks.
