WELCOME TO MUM'S GUIDE TO HERTFORD!
From bumps to teens, we have it covered! This is your one-stop site for information about what's on, things to do, activities & clubs, education, health and so much more for children and families in Hertford!
If your child is struggling with all the changes going on then this download from the award-winning Gruffalo artist Axel Scheffler will help them to understand.
Coronavirus: A Book for Children is aimed at five to nine-year-olds and hopes to simply answer key questions they may be asking their parents or carers about the COVID-19 outbreak.
The opening page reads: "There's a new word you might have heard. You might hear people talking about it or you might hear it on the news.
"This word is the reason that you're not going to school. It is the reason you can't go outside very often or visit your friends ... But what is it and why is everyone talking about it?
"The word is coronavirus."
So having just discovered that today is National Penguin day I have decided to write a little article to celebrate (because its lockdown- we all need cheering up and who doesnt love Penguins!?
So ive added some resources below to celebrate all things Penguin.
You can view LIVE Penguins vid Edinburghs Zoo's Webcam.
The California Academy of Science
Phillip Islands Little Penguins
Theres also some great Penguin Themed Learning Activities here.
For those of you with Disney Plus the Disney Nature series is great for little ones and has an accompanying educational package here.
For younger tots why not have a go at some penguin colouring or have a hunt through the book shelves to find any penguin related books, or stick happy feet on and waddle like a Penguin.
I hope you all have a Penguin-tastic day!
Love
Kayleigh & The Boys

Best Theatre Arts
"Best are such a warm and welcoming theatre arts class, who genuinely care about each of their students. The classes are fun and engaging which build on children’s singing, dancing and acting skills effectively in such varied ways. The younger classes learn through play and all classes are themed which my daughter loves. They have provided interactive and highly entertaining online theatre classes over lockdown even making films together. Overall, my daughter absolutely loves the classes- online or in person and I can’t recommend them highly enough. "
