AD – Review // Little Learners Messy Play Pack

Disclosure: This review is a paid partnership with Little Learners Windsor. Berkshire Mummies was also gifted some of the items alongside the experience. I love setting up activities and crafts for my children but was delighted when Bernice from Little Learners Windsor, Maidenhead and Slough got in touch and offered for us to try out a Little Learners Messy Play Pack to use at home. Lockdown has been pretty full on in terms of crafting and activities. Don’t get me wrong I really enjoy doing them but it was lovely to have ‘a few days off’! It meant that I…

AD - this is a collaborative post. We were gifted the Afternoon Teas. As many of you will know who have followed this blog for a while, I am a bit of a fan of Robyn’s Nest Cafe at Moss End Garden Village, not only does the cafe serve great food, it’s child and dog friendly plus there is a corner in the cafe with toys ready to help entertain the little ones. I was delighted when Robyn invited us down as a family for Afternoon Tea during half term, especially to check out the amazing new Children’s Afternoon Tea,…

AD – Gifted Tickets // Review – Maidenhead Mini-Golf

Reviews, Places To Play And LearnMini Golf, Golf, Maidenhead, Places to Play

We were delighted to be invited to Maidenhead Mini-Golf to have a go on their brand new 18 hole, dinosaur themed, mini-golf course and were thrilled it was dry and sunny after a very wet week! It was a perfect way to enjoy a Friday Half Term afternoon. We received a very warm welcome, were given size appropriate golf clubs and picked a different coloured ball each, had a quick safety briefing and headed out onto the course. The mini-golf course was busy which was great to see, but the rounds flowed nicely with us only having to wait for…

Berkshire Mummies were invited by Conertini, to attend one of their concerts and we picked to go to their New Year show with The Brass Funkeys and I have to say it was a really positive and upbeat way to start a Sunday morning at the beginning of January, so thanks for having us Conertini. I took my eldest with me and we will definitely be booking tickets to another one of your concerts in the not too distant future. The Brass Funkeys were an 8 piece brass band, they were fantastic with the audience, educating us about their different…

Before the session started we signed a waiver (you can read and sign this…

AD – Gifted Meal // Review – Veganuary at Bill’s, Bracknell

ReviewsReview, Restaurant Review

Thanks to Bill's for inviting us to their Bracknell restaurant in The Lexicon to try out their Veganuary menu. As a family we have discussed the idea of becoming vegans and don’t believe we could cut out meat and dairy completely from our diets, however we have decided we would like to eat a few more plant based dishes throughout the week. So visiting Bill’s to try out their Veganuary menu was a great way to kick start this off for us. Since The Lexicon in Bracknell opened we have enjoyed eating at the restaurant so it was great to…

AD // Gifted for Review – Beat That!

At Home, Free Things To Do, ReviewsReview, Playing Games

Thank you Gutter Games Ltd for gifting Berkshire Mummies Beat That! to review. We love a board game over the festive period and can’t wait to play this throughout the holidays. The game appealed as there is a chance to challenge yourself in ways that you might not necessarily do in everyday life. The game tests your understanding of your confidence levels verses your actual competence to achieve the set challenge. Who can play Beat That! The game is aimed at 11+ year olds. We don’t have children this age so played the games as a ‘date night’ whilst the…

AD – Press Trip // The Royal County of Berkshire Show

Reviews, Days OutCountry Show, Day Trip

As a family we attend The Royal County of Berkshire Show annually and this year were lucky enough to be invited as press. The show runs for two days and this year we went on the Sunday. Unfortunately upon arrival there was a torrential down pour that lasted over an hour and we started the day a bit wet but luckily the sun decided to shine for the rest of the day and we had a lovely dry afternoon at the show. The first attraction we went to see (in the terrible weather) was the ‘Grass to Glass’ Tractor pageant…

AD – Review // Giggling Squid, Windsor

Reviews, Food In BerkshireFood Review, Eating Out

Berkshire Mummies was delighted to be invited to try out the Giggling Squid in Windsor. It was a chance for us to review the Giggling Squid’s biggest menu change to date after visiting the Wokingham restaurant back in 2018. Our meal at the Wokingham restaurant was incredible so we were excited to be invited back. We went to the Windsor restaurant early evening, mid week and were given the chance to pick our table, the restaurant is set over a number of levels with floral decor throughout, it’s a beautiful environment next to Windsor Castle. Whilst we were perusing the…
