Up until now I have never given Ben any vitamins as he always eats well and I tend to think he should get what he needs from his food however, since starting preschool this year he has come down with the class vomiting bug not once but three times so vitamins might be just what he needs to put him back in his tip top fighting form again.
As part of the promotion Bassetts have done some research into mums opinions on soft play which makes an interesting read so I thought I would share (see press release below). Personally I love soft play, it gives Ben a chance to burn off some of his seemingly endless energy while I can spend a little quieter time with my baby twins as he does.
Three quarters of British mums swear by soft play as entertainment for their children*
A recent survey of mums in the UK found that a whopping 71% enjoy treating their children to a soft play day because it is guaranteed high-energy entertainment that can be enjoyed whatever the weather.*
The survey carried out by Bassetts Soft & Chewy Vitamins asked 1,000 mums their opinions on the benefits of soft play and discovered why mums enjoy it as much as children do. Mums revealed that they believed a session at soft play burns off their children’s excess energy (70%), is a good form of exercise (60%) and of course, it’s fun for them (61%).*
Mums also enjoy the soft play experience, 65% said that they love to see their little ones have fun and 40% also said a visit to a soft play center is a good excuse to meet up with their friends.1 That’s why mums will be excited to hear that, from 1st August, every promotional pack of Bassetts Soft & Chewy Vitamins offers a free soft play session for one child. With nearly two hundred great soft play centres around the UK taking part in the promotion, children around the country can have fun at their local centre, while mom enjoys a hot cup of coffee.
The research also found that the majority of mums (60%) said that their children are more content following a soft play session, are more likely to eat their dinner and sleep better that night, and it improves sociability skills too (62%).* Skye Symes, Brand Manager at Bassetts Soft & Chewy Vitamins commented, “Mums have told us that they want their kids to be healthy and active so that they can enjoy school. That’s why we decided to make mums’ lives a little bit easier with free soft play sessions on every promotional pack. With so many mums valuing the time they have at soft play and the kids enjoying it even more – it’s a win-win for everyone!”
And it doesn’t stop at soft play – the Bassetts Soft & Chewy Vitamins range offers a choice of delicious one-a-day vitamin pastilles that are specially formulated to help support a healthy lifestyle at all ages and stages.
