Cheeky Monkeys Newsletter with Spring dates

Dear All,
 
Pinch punch - it's the first day of the month! I love May, two sets of bank holidays, my birthday, better weather and generally a pretty blossomy month! Isabella-May will be one on the 25th which seems incredible, how time flies....
 
Anyway, lots to look forward to this month, including the Brighton Festival. I am really looking forward to nosing around the Open Houses and seeing some interesting art in the area, and also going to see the Whose Shoes production of 'Spreading her Thinly'. This is a light hearted show about us multi-tasking women shown at the Joogleberry Theatre in Kemptown. Why not get some mates together, book your tickets and have a girly night out? Details on www.brightonfestivalfringe.org.uk
 
The back room is currently getting prepared for the arrival of A & M photography. Amy and Michelle are both local mums who are experienced in taking wedding shoots, portraits and other event photography. Take advantage of the free parking and easy access to get the dreaded passport photos done, and discuss possible portraits and comissions?
 
Also another enterprising local mum is setting up Ickle Prints Pottery parties, come along and join in the fun on Saturday 17th May from 10am at the shop. Have a think about what your little ones can paint for Fathers Day in June, or perhaps other family birthday gifts?Castings in a box frame will also be available - all at excellent prices.
 
Speaking of enterprising mums, do remember to spread the word about the fabulous 'Mums in Biz' seminars, dates available all year 'round a brilliant afternoon for all budding business women out there. Please look at the website www.mumsinbiz.com for more details. By the way, listen out for the Radio Reverb interview Nicky from Mums in Biz and I did for the 'Mums the Word' show. Hayley Peacock does a great job on delivering a topical broadcast for mums every Wednesday at 2pm 97.2FM.
 
The incredibly successful French language classes La Jolie Ronde are currently looking to recruit Spanish speakers to teach Spanish to ages 5plus. Due to start at Cheeky Monkeys in September - no experience necessary as all training is provided! Please contact within.
 
And finally, do remember there are some brilliant toys and gifts, organic toiletries, fair trade fancy dress outfits, all available to buy at Cheeky Monkeys as well as everything else that's going on!
 
Well, thanks for your time and look forward to seeing you soon.

Bonjour!! La Jolie Ronde French for Children has arrived in Saltdean.

La Jolie Ronde is an international organisation specialising in language learning for children from 3 - 11 years old. Many parents are keen for their children to participate in language learning at this age and research has shown that the best time to learn a language is when children are between 18 months and 10 years old.

This is what I provide:

" Excellent accent for children to copy
" Fun activities to encourage learning
" Structured, tried and tested programmes
" Lots of energy and enthusiasm

Classes are now running in Saltdean for following levels.

3-5 year olds - waiting list
5-6 year olds - places available
7-8 year olds - places available
