Mini Me Yoga Hub
We are very excited and extremely delighted to have been invited to be a Mini Me Yoga Hub, helping to promote the importance of wellbeing and, sharing with others in our area, how the MMY programme supports this.
Ashley, MMY’s CEO had this to say, “Juice Nursery has been recognised as truly living and breathing the MMY programme. We have asked them to become one our hubs, as a Centre of Excellence and to share good practice. The management and staff team have really embraced the programme and we are delighted to team up with them, to share with others the benefits that the programme can bring to the health and wellbeing of children.”
Want to know more about how you might introduce yoga into your activities at home then please get in touch, as we can share some simple yoga flows with you, such as our Sleep Flow. We also have packs of the Mini Me Magick Yoga Cards available to buy, which are available from our office, at a cost of £10 per pack.
Inclusion Friendly Award Achieved!
We are delighted to be able to share with you we have received confirmation from Trafford’s Early Education & Childcare Service that Juice Nursery has received an
Inclusion Friendly Award, which is given to certain early years settings, in recognition of their dedication to ensuring that good inclusive practice is embedded throughout. This is a tremendous achievement, of which we are very proud, and believe that this award, acts as another indicator of the high calibre of our team and the outstanding level of care and support that they provide to the children here at Juice. We wanted to take this opportunity to thank our team for all their hard work and dedication, which has resulted in our achieving this!

Mini Me Yoga Parent Workshop
A big shout out to all the Juice Nursery parents, who came out on a rather chilly night, to attend our Mini Parent Workshop, led by MMY’s CEO, Ashley Costello.The aim of the workshop was to share more on MMY’s yoga and mindfulness programme, that we have implemented throughout the nursery and how they might introduce aspects at home. It was a great evening, with a focus on sleep & calming routines, as well as some tips and techniques to help manage those big emotions and our brave attendees even struck the odd yoga pose or two!
Namaste!
