What's on

About me

Hi, I'm Elin and I run Elin Tots.

I am a qualified Early Years teacher with lots of experience working both in schools and nurseries. I am passionate about early development and have been obsessed with babies since I could talk. I am a Mami to two little boys and absolutely love them to smitherines.

It has been an absolute pleasure these last few years to work with so many wonderful parents and their little ones and I truly believe I have the best job in the world.

I also hold a degree in dance and have loved dancing from as young as 3. It is great that I am now able to share my enjoyment of movement with others in the community and I aim to keep classes fun and friendly where children enjoy attending classes each week.

I have been trained in Baby Massage since February 2019 and I have loved adding these classes to my repetoire the last few years. 

I believe that a massive part of my role as a class facilitator is to support new parents and young children so please do not hesitate to ask for any help or support. I am sure that if I cannot help I can signpost to someone / organisation who can.

I look forward to meeting you and your little ones soon,

Many thanks for all your continued help and support,


Elin xxx
