Artificial floral arrangements are created individually using top quality silk and artificial flowers, foliage and stems to create amazingly realistic displays which are an allergy-free way to enjoy the beauty year round.

Welcoming Back Darren Toms

Those of you that came to our Conference in  2011 will no doubt remember the inspiring and awesome motivational talk from Darren Toms.

In fact, he was so good, we have asked him to come back for Conference 2012.

Darren shot a video of his talk and added it to YouTube and has kindly given us permission to use it on our website and we have also added it here.

First 20 Tickets Sold to Get Free Ad Space!

So, many of the other Business Mums Conferences that have been taking place round the country are now over and we can fully focus on our Conference in February 2012.

Cambridge Business Mums Conference promises to be fun and interactive and with the event being held in a magnificent venue, what excuse can you give not to come?

As a further incentive, we are offering the first 20 tickets sales a free ad space in our Conference Programme.  The programme will be a glossy, 36 page informative booklet which will also be available as an e-edition on both our Conference and Business Club websites.

But, you need to be quick.  We have already started selling tickets so places are getting limited.

However, if you do miss out, advertising is from as little as £20 so even if you can't get to the Conference, you still have a wonderful chance to get your business name out there :-)

For further details and/or to book your tickets or ad space, please visit our website here

Award Sponsor - Water Babies (Peterborough and Cambridge)

We are absolutely delighted that Water Babies (Peterborough and Cambridge) are sponsoring out Best Business Mentor Award.  Here is what they get up to in business:

Swimming with your baby

Sounds lovely.

And it is.

In fact, it’s more than lovely. It’s one of the most memorable, thrilling and bonding things the two of you will ever do.

But, along with the fun, physical and mental development and social aspects, there’s a lot of technical stuff to consider too. 

And that’s where we come in: Water Babies, the UK’s leading baby swim school.

We’ve got the wealth of knowledge and desire to ensure you’ll experience something truly extraordinary. After all, this is one of the most magical times in your life. And we hope to enhance it for you.

Extraordinary Instructors: the smiley, confident person teaching you in the pool.

Our world-class instructors, who could have qualified as private pilots - three times over - in the time it takes them to train.  More than 50 hours pool work; at least 25 assessed lessons; internal and external exams. There’s a lot to do.

And that’s why we’re proud to call them professionals.  (Although, incidentally, many are also ex-doctors, psychologists, international sportsmen, lawyers and teachers too.)
Who’d have thought that how a baby is held in the water will influence their future swimming position? But it will.

How do you interpret the range of subtle signs your baby will use to communicate their feelings in the pool?

And a parent also needs gentle guidance and detailed explanations. Thus ensuring that, moving forward, you will become your baby’s best teacher.

It’s all this, and so much more, that our instructors are trained to show you.

Extraordinary programme: the science behind the fun

Would you ever want to start watching a film half way through?
There’s a reason why our courses have a beginning, middle and carefully monitored progression. Because only then can your baby benefit from the meticulously constructed building blocks that will see them swimming by around thirty months.
We have an individual lesson plan for every week of the course (190 in total). That’s a lot of technical preparation.

And one of the reasons why we’ve won four national awards – the first baby swimming company to do so.

Extraordinary Results

Seven of our Water Babies have saved themselves from drowning in the past twenty-four months. Utterly fantastic; especially when you consider that three of them were only two.

Or you might watch a bunch of three year olds launching into the pool, glorying in the confidence they enjoy in water.  Not so dramatic - but equally inspiring.

Water Babies is the baby swimming company most recommended by parents to other parents. 

‘An investment that’s worth every penny,’ is what we often hear them say.

As well as mentioning our professionalism, great customer service and obvious passion for what we do.

We hope to be able to demonstrate all this to you.

Water Babies .... the start of something extraordinary
