🍌 Week 2 complete! 🍌

We welcomed 36 children across our free funded summer sessions, and it was another lovely morning. πŸ’›

One of our Big Bananas was a little disappointed that he didn't get a banana last week, we made sure every child went home with a banana today! πŸŒπŸ˜‚

Big Bananas was fully booked again, with families on the waiting list. If you've booked onto a session but can't make it, please let me know as soon as possible so I can offer your place to another family.

Baby Bananas still has lots of spaces available, so if you know anyone with a baby who might enjoy coming along, please do share the details with them.

Over the next few days I'll be sending a short questionnaire by email. I'd really appreciate it if you could take a couple of minutes to fill it in. The feedback will help show just how much these sessions have benefited local families and will hopefully help us secure funding to do something like this again in the future.

Also, if you've taken any photos during the sessions and would be happy for Hannah Banana Parties and Little Cherubs to use them on social media or in funding reports, I'd absolutely love it if you could send them over. They really help show the impact these sessions have had.

I'm back! πŸ’›πŸŒ

After a weekend at YNOT Festival, I'm finally home with signal again!

Thank you so much for your patience while I've been away. I've got lots of messages to catch up on and will be working through them as quickly as I can.

Don't forget, we still have some FREE funded sessions tomorrow, with a few spaces still available! If you've been meaning to come along, now's your chance.
Book your place via Happity and search Hannah Banana Parties.

I can't wait to see everyone! πŸ’›

Yesterday reminded me why awareness still matters. πŸ’›

I wear a sunflower lanyard because I have hidden disabilities and stress-induced tics.

Before the festival, I spoke to the welfare team about my tics. They couldn't offer any practical support as it was too late to apply for accessibility (my fault). They suggested I make a simple sign explaining that I'm not under the influence of drugs or alcohol, my body just reacts differently under stress. I leaned into it, it felt strange to have to do, but it helped and we laughed about it.

Unfortunately, yesterday I was mocked because of my tics and my sunflower lanyard. As the comments continued, my tics became worse. The more anxious and embarrassed I felt, the less control I had over my body.

It was humiliating. And I hate how it looks to people around me.

I'm sharing this because hidden disabilities aren't always visible, and not every movement or behaviour is a choice. A little understanding, patience or kindness can make an enormous difference to someone's day.

This is one of the reasons inclusion is so important to me, both personally and through Hannah Banana. Every child, parent and family deserves to feel safe, accepted and welcome exactly as they are.

If this post helps even one person think twice before judging someone they don't understand, then it's worth sharing. πŸ’›πŸŒ»

Very grateful for the kindness from friends and welfare team. πŸ’ž

FREE Summer Holiday Baby & Toddler Sessions are here! 🍌

I'm so excited to finally share these with you!

Thanks to funding from we'll be running FREE Baby Bananas and Big Bananas sessions at throughout the summer holidays, giving babies, toddlers and their families the chance to enjoy music, movement, play and time together.

πŸ“ Fit Factory, Chapel-en-le-Frith
πŸ‘Ά Baby Bananas πŸ•₯ 10:15-11:00
🍌 Big Bananas πŸ•š 11:15-12:00

Siblings are welcome at both sessions. Each class is planned around a particular age group, but we'd love families to come along together over the summer.

✨ Bookings open tomorrow at 10am.

To make things as fair as possible, bookings will be released one week at a time, with spaces for 15 families per session- Wednesdays at 8pm.

As these sessions are grant funded, we'll also be collecting attendance information and inviting families to complete a short feedback questionnaire to help demonstrate the impact of the project.

If you book a place and can no longer attend, please let me know as soon as possible so another family can enjoy it.

I can't wait to spend the summer with you all! πŸ’›πŸŒ

Want to make sure you never miss an update? πŸ’›

Each of our classes has its own WhatsApp group where I share the important bits, and only the important bits!

You'll get updates about:
✨ When booking opens
✨ If I'm running late
✨ Any class cancellations
✨ FREE summer session bookings
✨ Other important class information

I keep the groups nice and quiet, so you won't be bombarded with messages. But also encourage you to use it as a way to reach out to families you may have met and keep building that village beyond class β€οΈπŸ’ž

If you'd like to join your class group, just send me a message and I'll get you added! πŸ“±πŸ’›

We're also excited to welcome Little Cherubs for a coffee morning- Come and find out about the fantastic work they do, bring along any good-quality items you'd like to donate, or see if there's anything your family could make use of.
