We are delighted to announce that the village hall will be reopening our doors fully on Monday 19th July 2021.

It remains important to respect and be considerate of those who are more vulnerable and who may wish to take a more cautious approach and to keep our staff safe, so we will be keeping the following procedure in place:

We expect you to continue to make use of the hand sanitising stations/dispensers

The legal requirements to wear a face covering will be lifted in all settings. Guidance will advise that wearing a face covering will reduce your risk and the risk to others, where you come into contact with people you don't normally meet in enclosed and crowded spaces, so use of face coverings will remain advisable in confined spaces such as toilets, kitchens and corridors and at more crowded events.

We continue to use the NHS Track & Trace QR code at our premises.

We ask that windows remain open for ventilation purposes throughout the booking.

Consider individual risks, such as clinical vulnerabilities and vaccination status.

The limits on the amount of people allowed in each room will also be ending from Monday 19th July 2021. Previous room capacity is to be restored. This stands at:
The Cottage x 25
The Alan Talbott Room x 50
The Broughton Hall x 130
The Astley Room x 15

Apart from during the full lockdown, we are very proud that our venue has remained open throughout the pandemic. The measures that we have put in place have proven successful in keeping everyone safe and we wish to continue doing so in the future. With this is mind we ask that you adhere to our rules and remember that you are now asked to be responsible for your own safety.

May we wish you a welcome return to post-Covid 'normality'!

TIME TO RELAX

Here at The Little Sensory Company, we're big fans of baby massage and the many benefits it can offer infants. Exceptionally effective at helping little ones to relax and feel secure, it's a wonderful way to promote better bonding and connection with your baby.

Offered by Louise, an experienced masseuse and mum of two, it's a tried and tested method. Giving you the chance to create a real sense of safety and security, it can help even the most fractious of infants to feel happier.

Zerin Smith holds regular classes on a Thursday morning in The Cottage, here at the Village Hall on Station Road.

There are Story, Massage & Movement classes, as well as Baby Massage & Yoga classes.

Message from Zerin:

My classes are designed to be relaxed, welcoming and fun. Touch is your baby's most important sense as they develop, so learning baby massage and yoga is a lovely way to bond with your baby. Group courses are also a great way to meet other parents and make new friendships.

There is always time for coffee and cakes after the massage is over and your baby relaxes and enjoys sensory time.

I am trained and qualified through the IAIM (International Association of Infant Massage)
