Make Your Food Waste Matter Too much food is still going to waste in Surrey. The latest research shows that a staggering 58% of food waste ends up in rubbish bins instead of being reduced or recycled. That’s 28,000 tonnes each year - the equivalent of 2,258 double decker buses.

January is a great time to watch your waste and start reducing your environmental impact. Try these 5 simple tips to make a difference and protect the planet in 2021.

1. Plan your shopping and meals in advance to avoid over-buying.

2. Freeze leftovers and food that is nearing its use by date.

3. Turn your potato peelings into crisps or your dry bread into pizza.

4. Try out a new recipe to use up leftovers.

5. If you can’t eat it, caddy it.

For leftover recipes, food waste reduction tips and more information on recycling click here.

Big Thinking at Little Downsend Toddlers of today are the leaders and innovators of tomorrow. They will work in job types that do not yet exist. It is more important than ever for educators to try to equip children with the skills they will need to navigate the future of work and the future of societies. In this rapidly changing world, even our youngest members of society are now embracing new ways of playing and learning.

Little Downsend’s Nursery and Early Years schools are leading the way with their approach to encouraging their little people to think big! Striking the perfect balance between play and innovative teaching, they work to stimulate creativity and curiosity through play and exploration, gently build digital skills, and develop children’s awareness of the wider world, whilst developing their emotional intelligence, resilience and adaptability to set them on the best possible path for their future educational journey and beyond.

Books for Navigating Tricky Times

Encouraging Constant Learning

By Smriti Halls

By Dr Cath Bishop

A book can be a friend in lonely times, a delightful escape, a comfort blanket to wrap around us when the going gets tough. As a parent, sharing this understanding with your children is one of the best gifts you can give them. Find out how.

“Who’s going to win?” From a young age, it seems natural to compare and compete with others. But, historically, what distinguished us from our ancestors was learning by cooperating, communicating and connecting. How can we help our children learn in this way?

Float your boat. Make a boat and float it in a puddle or stream.

Wet chalk art. Rain intensifies and blurs the colours of chalk for a spectacular effect.

Make mud pies. Use old aluminium or plastic containers and have a bake off!

Gauge the rain. Make a rain gauge with a plastic bottle and keep a log.

Puddle jumping. Try jumping over, rather than in – who can jump the biggest?

Collectathon. Gather some different sized containers outside and guess which will fill first.

Fly a kite. Make one from different materials and see which works best.

Blow bubbles. Let the wind do the blowing and watch them swirl.

Parachute play. Make a toy parachute using a handkerchief and toy figurine and throw up.

Make wind chimes. Hang spoons, keys and beads from a coat hanger.

Play Frisbee. Go somewhere with lots of space and let it rip!

Make a wind sock. Attach streamers or ribbons to one end of a toilet roll holder and string to the other.

Cold

Break out the binoculars. Since leaves have fallen from trees, it’s a lot easier to spot birds and other creatures.

Take a night hike. Using torches explore your neighbourhood during these dark early evenings.

Build a campfire. Bring out hot chocolate and roast marshmallows and cook jacket potatoes in the embers.

Go stargazing. Cold nights generally mean clear skies, perfect for watching stars.

Hunt for treasure. Look for holly leaves, lichen, leaf skeletons, sticks, pinecones and acorns.

Frost art. On a frosty morning, draw or write in the frost on the pavement

The Impact of Covid-19 on Working Mums

By Mandy Garner The Covid-19 pandemic has been hard for many individuals and groups, with working mums, particularly single working mums, being one of them.

But the picture is complex. Women dominate in many of the most risky frontline sectors such as health, social care and education and in some of the hardest hit sectors such as hospitality and retail. Parttime jobs, traditionally done by women, have seen a precipitous fall, BUT women are less likely to be unemployed than men and many have gone into full-time roles.

Then there is self-employment which has seen a big decline. A recent report from IPSE and Starling Bank showed women freelancers have been hardest hit financially by late payments of money owed to them and the associated mental impact and women-led businesses have suffered disproportionately.

What is clear is that the impact of childcare problems during the pandemic has been most keenly felt by women, with countless studies, including our own surveys, showing women have been carrying most of the childcare/home schooling burden, despite dads increasing their input generally.

Our latest survey shows lockdown restrictions and school or year group closures are still causing huge challenges.
