Sir Gavin Williamson joined founders of Mini Tots, Jill and Kate, who have created a stay and play experience in Penkridge for young children to explore.
Sir Gavin was pleased to meet Jill and Kate, who opened their business in Dunston Business Village earlier this year. He learned more about their mission to create a more personalised child-care experience in Penkridge. Since their opening, they’ve also set up socialising networks for mothers as well as supporting new parents. Mini Tots now have over 100 children registered from across Staffordshire.
Sir Gavin said: “It was a pleasure to meet with Jill and Kate, two mums who have a passion to create a friendly space for young children to play and for parents to feel supported. At Mini Tots, the space is set up to encourage a child’s curiosity, which is so important for their early development. It was great to see what Jill and Kate have achieved so far and I wish them every success as they build their business further.”
Kate and Jill, founders of Mini Tots, said: “It was so lovely to meet Gavin and show him what we have created and our passion that is Mini Tots.
One of the key parts of our Mini Tots story is that myself and Jill are Moms and we created it from our own personal experiences and perspective… often days can be lonely and isolating and we felt there was such a lack of friendly, clean and welcoming spaces to visit with your little ones. So although our focus is very much on the children having fun and developing their early development skills, it is also on maternal mental health and wellbeing.
We have met so many lovely moms, dads and grandparents so far and we are so glad we can offer the community a space to form friendships with other care-givers.”
