Unlike many schools in Doha, Kings College truly brings the experience and excellence of its English counterpart to Qatar and the English school is integral to the operations of its Doha entity. The school combines excellence of teaching with a real passion for education, whilst ensuring that the children continue to take pleasure and enjoyment from their school day.

Scars Stretch marks Uneven skin tone? "I am always fighting with my weight, and as a result have large stretch marks which can be embarrassing. I was watching TV and the advertisement came on for Bio-Oil. So I tried it and it made my skin feel great. I used it for the next couple of months and slowly my stretch marks started to look a lot better. It's made me a lot happier. Since I've been using it I have told everyone in my family, the people I work with and my friends. I have been using it religiously since it makes my skin feel great. It's good to know that there is actually something out there that does what it advertises." Casey Gray

RE: How can I help my child adjust to starting nursery? From:

Kimberley Sheedy

Most children transition to nursery easily, though on occasion, settling into a new routine with a new caregiver in a new environment can be challenging. Here are a few ways to help your child adjust: • H ave him or her visit the nursery several times for short visits before the first day. The more comfortable your toddler is with the nursery the smoother the transition is likely to be. • P oint out structure and routine at home—for example “now it’s lunchtime, you will be eating lunch at nursery too”. • T each your child simple chores that may be useful at nursery, such as packing away their toys. • P utting a regular bedtime in place prior to starting nursery can also be hugely beneficial to your child’s transition. • R ead books with your child about starting nursery, and explain to them what will happen during the day at nursery. • T alk about friends or family who go to nursery or school and point out how much fun they are having.

a

m gs.co

• W hen it is time to leave your child at nursery, reassure him or her that you will return at a specific time such as after lunch. It is perfectly all right to give your child a hug if he or she is distressed, but it may be necessary to be firm that you have to leave.

Kind regards, Kimberley Sheedy CEO/Managing Partner, Starfish Lane Kids

She had a great rapport with my older son who is very energetic and instead of telling him off, she found a creative way to use his energy and the photos ended up to be one-of-a-kind. She was very easy to communicate with, fast to respond and deliver. I recommend Cherish to everyone.
