🎵 FREE WIGGLES & JIGGLES GROUP FOR MUMS & BABIES 👶
Ace Music Therapy CIC are running their 6-week Wiggles & Jiggles group starting next week in Chelmsford!

Designed for babies 12 weeks to pre-crawling, these gentle sessions combine live music, movement and baby massage to support your baby’s development and help build those all-important early bonds. ❤️

But Wiggles & Jiggles is also about you, Mum.
The early months can feel lonely and overwhelming, particularly for mums experiencing postnatal depression (PND).

Music and shared activities can provide opportunities to connect, express emotions, improve mood and strengthen interactions between you and your baby, while meeting other mums who may be going through similar experiences.

🎶 Led by Amelia, HCPC Registered Music Therapist, and Natalie, Paediatric Physiotherapist

📅 Wednesdays, 11th Nov – 16th Dec
⏰ 10:00–10:45am
📍 Chelmsford Community Church, CM1 2LQ
👶 12 weeks – pre-crawling
💷 FREE | limited spaces available
Funded by The National Lottery Community Fund.

Come along, make some music, meet other mums and enjoy some special time with your little one. 🎶👶

**** Please note- these sessions are run by Ace Music Therapy CIC and not our service, so please contact them directly if you have any questions ****

❤️Another huge THANK YOU today to the lovely Chicken & Frog Bookshop, who have donated 2 boxes full of beautiful books for families our teams are supporting. Books are so important for children to have access to and this donation will support a lot of children in developing their love of reading and exploring stories together ❤️

Let’s make this year’s campaign the best yet. The books go to families supported by Barnardo's Changing Pathways and Children First Fostering Agency. Buy a book, well wrap it and pass it on.
