Feedback Comments from Target Mums Attending 6 Week Course
Baby Boogie Mites Programme at Children’s Centres 2010


Little Waves Children’s Centre, Gosport Spring 2010
  Thank you, I would make it a longer course
  Enjoyed all the course but would make it 12 weeks instead of 6 weeks
  We now do more activities at home
  Nothing I would change only if it was 8 weeks
  Would like more sessions
  Lovely course enjoyed it thank you
  Baby responds more to music and more alert
  I’ve learnt how music can help aid my baby’s development and mind
  Wish it was longer than 6 weeks
  Theresa’s enthusiasm was infectious


St Cuthbert’s Children’s Centre, Portsmouth Summer 2010
  Listening skills have developed, greater interaction between us
  Thoroughly enjoyed the course, use the CD as part of our morning routine
  Great bonding experience
  My husband uses the CD lots
  Encourages bonding and socialising
  Fun; my husband was able to join in with the CD at home
  More confident in myself
  No longer embarrassed to sing at the drop of a hat
  Will continue at home
  We listen to the CD provided everyday
  Fun, variety of music, continuous learning
  Baby clearly excited to hear the songs
  Given me more confidence to sing and dance with my baby
  Having the CD to accompany the course is excellent
  At 3 months my baby recognises and concentrates on the songs, a real aid to her development
  Developing a love of music
  A strong bond and good interaction with developing listening skills and a love of music and actions
    Lots of fun
