Hi Samantha

I was just thinking about you the other day and thinking that you
must have had your baby now because if I remember rightly you were
due around Christmas. Many congratulations......I hope everything
went smoothly.

I'm at work at the moment but as soon as I get home I will email you
a booking form. Unfortunately there will be no creche facilities as
we just couldn't afford it and we thought with it being on a
Saturday that most people would have a partner/husband or family
member they could leave older children with. However, babes in arms
are more than welcome.

Michelle.

capacity of antenatal teacher, than parent, but will probably have a
baby in tow.  Are there any creche facilities on the
day/arrangements for kids?
