About Busy Rascals.

Hello! My name is Rose, thank you for visiting the Busy Rascals website. ​

​

Busy Rascals is intended to help all parents are carers feel like they are not alone. It is a safe space for you to engage in one-to-one play with your child or to just sit back and relax with a cup of something hot and caffeinated whilst they enjoy some independent play in a social environment. 

​

Busy Rascals was created off the back of a weekly baby and toddler group I ran with a fellow mum I met out in the woods on a chance encounter. We bonded over the lack of social opportunities for parents in the Forest of Dean.

 

 

 

I am a mum of 1 human, 2 dogs, 1 cat and 3 rescue chickens! After a career change from the fashion industry in 2015 I am now a part-time Veterinary Nurse specialising in emergency and critical care at a large referral hospital in Bristol. My love of art is never far though and has helped me with the creative process of designing Busy Rascals.

​

Hopefully this is just the start of what can be access to more play and social opportunities for the Forest of Dean community. ​
