What a Week!

The Birthday Week is over and we are exhausted! It was great fun putting together the prize draws and seeing all the entries flood in for each fab prize. EDtot thoroughly enjoyed picking the winners' names out of a box with all the entries.

A big thank you to all the lovely people who donated prizes. If you don't already know them, here's a round up of what they have to offer:


Mothers Inc - onsite childcare whilst you enjoy your pampering experience. Fancy a massage or facial, but can't find childcare for such a short time? Mothers Inc. offers the perfect solution.

SE22 Piano School - your local piano teaching practice with students from ages 3 - 60. The school teaches from beginners to advanced levels in classical, pop, improvisation and jazz piano and holds recitals such as the one offered in the prize draw.

Cheeky C's - the fun, creative and exciting playgroup, which is split into different C's. Take your toddler/baby along to enjoy the construction, camping, creative, cosy, crazy, cooking, concert, costume, curious and concentration corners with a coffee corner for the adults!

Tippee Toes Music - the music and movement classes include action songs, musical instruments, movement props, puppets, colourful laminates, parachute play and oodles of bubbles! They also offer baby massage, soft play, parties and even a mobile creche for those special events.

The Dish and The Spoon - need a coffee, but know your little one won't want to sit still for long enough to allow the caffeine to kick in (for you; not them!)? Head to The Dish and The Spoon cafe and deli in Nunhead serving up Dark Fluid Coffee, cakes and more with the added bonus of a lovely play area to keep the kiddies amused.

Fuzzy and Friends - looking for a class that will fire up their imagination? Try out one that is all about learning through music and make believe. With free-play time before and after the sessions for the adults to catch up over a cuppa.

ShutterBaby - how could you not want that shot of your newborn all curled up on a pile of towels with a pair  of angel wings? We left it too late to grab that special newborn pic, but luckily they tend to stay cute for a fair few years and ShutterBaby can help you capture those perfect pics.

Diddi Dance - jealous of the amount of energy your little one has every day? Channel it into improving their rhythm and co-ordination using various dancing games and exercises, bells, hoops and dance ribbons to Diddi Dance's own funky pop songs. They also offer fantastic party fun!

Babistic Baby - enjoy all the benefits that baby yoga can offer in a group session with other mums. Babistic Baby also offers baby massage and maternity reflexology sessions to help relax you and baby.

Bach to Baby - not only do you have the chance to enjoy a concert without hiring a sitter, your little one also has the chance to attend a live classical music performance and chill out to Bach, Beethoven, and Brahms!

Powerpramming - it is hard enough sometimes to get yourself up and out with a newborn let alone find childcare whilst you try to get your fitness back! Powerpramming is the perfect solution as you can bring your little bundle with you whilst you enjoy working out at your own pace.

Captured on the Rye - a home furnishing shop with a cafe area serving delicious coffees, hot and cold beverages and a selection of cakes. Check out the handmade designs that are screenprinted locally. Many lines are organic and Fairtrade cotton.

Thank you to everyone involved. Here's to another fun filled year!

EDtots Turns One!

We are so excited as next week we will be a whole one year old! Yay! Our own little EDtot wasn't too aware of her first birthday, but was very happy with all the attention she had that day. We, however, plan on having a huge birthday celebration that lasts all week! Woo hoo!

It has been a fabulous year and we are very grateful for all the support and unbelievably lovely comments we've had from our users in person and online. It is always nice to hear how useful the site is. The activity providers have also sent us some lovely feedback on how it has helped with their classes.

To celebrate all this loveliness, we have teamed up with some activity providers and local businesses to offer our fabulous EDtot-ers (that's you guys, by the way) lots and lots of brilliant prizes! All next week there will be prize draws for a different giveaway each morning and afternoon! (Lots of exclamation marks are needed!!!)

If you want to be first to hear of each Prize Draw, pop over to Facebook or Twitter and "like/follow" to receive our updates. Don't worry though, you don't need a Facebook or Twitter account to enter the draws as they will be run on the EDtots site.

We hope you enjoy our Birthday Week and we look forward to another fun year. Here's a taster of some of the people/companies giving away prizes:
