Now we've slept a bit, here's a few snaps of our time in the Welsh mountains at the Green Man Festival ✨✨✨

We run The Cocoon, which is an awesome baby-and-toddler festival tent.
The Cocoon is a little baby-safe haven amongst the joyous chaos and carnage of a festival. A place to sit back and breathe, without the fear that your precious bundle will be squashed by a beer-befuddled Gandalf lookalike, or trodden on by a high-on-life tornado of an eight year old.
The tent is kitted out with the practical bits: baby change facilities, snacks, water, and a small private area - and the fun bits: loads of rugs, cushions, pouffes, toys, books, games, bubbles and musical instruments - and the *super cool* bit: the Cosmic Chillout, a dark sensory baby-rave-room-vibes space, with lights and foil blankets and lots of sensory extravagance! (Although our bubbley fish lamp broke at the festival, sorry if it wasn't there when you were!)

We love hosting The Cocoon ✨ We've taken a baby to a festival (we're currently on our third festival-going baby!) and know it's a pretty mixed bag of great fun and hard work. Having this dedicated space to relax, where people totally get what you're going through and can commiserate about a lack of sleep and exchange tips on how many layers a baby needs in a tent at night, all to a background soundtrack of the hot shots on the main stage... 👌💗

Not to mention just getting to ogle the absolute cuteness of these little babes! 🥰

(Adding in a big shout-out to our 2026 team of facilitators, a great bunch who facilitated the tent beautifully! Thanks guys 😘)

If you know of any events that could benefit from an awesome baby tent, drop us a message. We currently only run The Cocoon at the Green Man Festival, but are really keen to spread the baby-love a bit next year!

What a glorious week!
We've had an absolutely wonderful time running our Baby Tent again at the beautiful Green Man Festival, hanging out with the cutest babies and rejoicing in the Welsh mountains.
It's been a full-on week though, and after a long drive back to Portsmouth we went straight into a sold-out Story Session this morning, telling the classic tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears to a great group of kids.

We'll share some more about the Baby Tent in the next few days - right now it's time to sleep! (And unpack... 😂)

We're off on an adventure!
We're having a little holiday from our normal birthday parties and storytelling sessions, to spend a glorious week in the luscious Welsh mountains at Green Man Festival !

We're back hosting our baby tent, The Cocoon, in the Kids Field, and are having a *great* time playing with all the babies 🥰

We had such a lovely time at our Story Session last week at the Tesco community room 🍄💗 Thanks to everyone that came, we had a pretty much *sold-out* class (yippeee!) which was very exciting. Hopefully everyone enjoyed the session!

We're always hoping to improve and develop our sessions, so if you have any feedback (either positive or negative) we'd love to hear it ✨

The next session is in a few weeks, on Tuesday 25th August at 10.30 - tickets can be booked via the booking page on our spangly, shiny, suprisingly-professional-looking website!
Hope to see you there 😁

Here are the important details for our summer sessions, in super poster form! 😅😁☀️
Each session will be a different story, so feel free to come to each one if you'd like. It's £2.50 per ticket (you only need a ticket for the 2-5 year old, but siblings are welcome to join us!), tickets can be booked on our Tigerboat website. (Link in bio 😁)

Also, a few useful little snippets to know: the Community Room is air conditioned, so it will be fabulously cool inside the room, and you can park for up to three hours for free in the Tesco carpark. And Tesco currently has a summer holiday offer where kids eat for free with any adult purchase in the cafe 👌

Hooray!
Thanks to everyone who has already booked tickets, please share this far and wide! (But if you could specifically share with people who live in Pompey and have kids under 5, that would be much appreciated!!)

Summer storytelling sessions are back! 🎉💗☀️

Things are very busy at Tigerboat HQ at the moment, with a new baby on the team (he's very cute but definitely more of a hindrance than a help so far 😉) and BIG plans being put slowly into action, so we are late to the game organising this, but we have THREE summer sessions planned and ready to go! 🎺☀️

Thursday 30th July (NEXT WEEK!) 10.30-11.30am
Tuesday 25th August 10.30-11.30am
Tuesday 1st September 1.30-2.30pm
📍At the Community Room, Tesco Extra - Fratton!

There is a cap on numbers for these sessions, with tickets costing £2.50 per child (children aged 2-5, older/younger siblings free), so best to book your tickets in advance.
I haven't set up a ticket link yet (🙈) but if you are interested then send me a message and I will send you the link as soon as it goes live!
Each week will be a different story, come to one or come to all three! ☀️💗🎉

I'll make a proper flyer soon, but for now, any questions just ask 😊 hope to see you soon! Xx

Nursery Story Sessions, roll on up, roll on up!

Last year we did a few story sessions here and there in local nurseries - these were so fun! And seemed a big hit with children and staff alike.
This year we want to do more! 😁 We've got our first nursery Story Session coming up on Monday, where this little lady will be discovering her love of a red cloak... and the dangers of the forest - any guesses what the story is?! 😉
But we'd love to book some more sessions in. If you or someone you know would like a story session in your early years setting then do get in touch or spread the word!
An hour of interactive, imaginative, and creatively inspiring fun, for everyone! 😁💗

TIGERBOAT UPDATE! 💖💖💖
You may have noticed we've been a bit quiet on the ol' socials recently, and slightly non-committal regarding future bookings... well, there was a good reason. A new cub has just joined the boat! 🌟

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

This little cub is the squishiest, cutest little chunk: ten weeks old and thriving on life, giving the best baby snuggles and the best baby giggles, and altogether being an absolute joy.

The existing cubs in our Tigerboat team have fully embraced him, and are eager to put him to work for us this summer! We're back taking small bookings for now, and are taking this time to put in motion some BIG Tigerboat plans, so this is a very exciting time for us indeed!
If you want to book anything in, drop us a line ☺️

We can't wait for you all to meet him!!
