For smaller children it’s fun to stack them on top of each other and build a tall tower... only to knock it back over with much joy and enthusiasm. For older children, each box features a number from 1 to 10 and also serves as a tool for learning numbers. Place the blocks inside each other, or use them as decorative items in the nursery. ellajames.co.uk

HERNE HILL SCHOOL’S KINDERGARTEN SHAPES FUTURES
Herne Hill School is well known for its excellence and expertise in preparing young children for life by providing the finest individual education based on a bedrock of love and care.
Since its foundation in 1976, Herne Hill School has specialised in Early Childhood Education (2+ to 7+), the most crucial formative period in a child’s life.
In 2021, after leveraging all its expertise to design completely tailor-made spaces for its youngest children, it was able to move the Kindergarten to a dedicated, state-of-the-art facilities at nearby 99 Herne Hill.
The site has turned out to be highly conducive to stimulating the children’s creativity and maximising their learning. It has met with strong parental approval, gaining a reputation of being “unrivalled”, with some parents comparing it to a “Soho House for children”. 99 Herne Hill boasts a warm ‘home from home’ Victorian mansion, a large garden with an amazing ‘sand land’, nature-centric activity areas such as water play, mud kitchen and herb growing, as well as the annexe ‘Bach’ building at the back of the property for additional tumble space.

exclusively on Early Childhood Education, it is at the same time sufficiently small to enjoy a warm and friendly family community atmosphere. The children benefit from this environment and their strong relationships with loving, caring and expert staff who guide them in a highly individualised manner on their ‘whole child’
development journey following the school’s bespoke five-year curriculum. Its hallmark is to lay the foundations in all skill sets required to succeed in life (social, emotional, self-regulatory, cognitive and physical) by transitioning seamlessly from child-led, experiential, play-based learning to a more structured teaching approach and purposefully maintaining the children’s fun, curiosity and enthusiasm. Their ability to become the oldest children at the school in a co-ed environment also enables them to hone their leadership skills and social responsibilities, ready to move on to their next schools at the end of Year 2, fully equipped academically and emotionally to meet life’s next opportunities and challenges.
WHAT LAST YEAR’S KINDERGARTEN PARENTS SAID…
“Family feel school with loving care given by all the staff.”
“Gorgeous environment with wonderful teachers and a solid educational philosophy.”
“The staff are so nurturing, and they weave learning into play in the most wonderful way.”
“A truly brilliant school.”

PREVENTATIVE HEALTH SCREENING:
PEACE OF MIND FOR YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES
Dr Angela Rai of The London General Practice discusses the benefits of Health Screening.
Health Screening, as part of a preventative package, is a recognised part of modern medicine. Advances in technology and medical science mean that signs of disease or other health issues can be detected much earlier than before, so that action can be taken at an early stage with the potential opportunity to improve quality of life and future outcome.
To get the most from health screening it is recommended that the package is tailored to the individual, taking into account family history, personal medical history, gender and age.
It is also important to avoid ‘over testing’ or undertaking screens when there is no clinical indication for concern.
Common causes of future health problems include lifestyle and family history, and health screening can reveal changes which if implemented could result in positive impacts on health and wellbeing.

• experiencing memory difficulties and who wishes to understand the reason for this.
• who is concerned about a family history of memory issues
• seeking to check their current health status, or get advice regarding a general issue with their health.
The package includes an examination with a medical consultant who is a recognised cognitive expert and a set of investigations designed to identify a wide range of possible causes of memory difficulties.
This service responds to the knowledge that early diagnosis and access to the best treatments for memory and other cognitive symptoms significantly improves clinical outcomes. Figures show that it is possible to reduce the risk of dementia by up to 30% by controlling other risk factors, such as blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and cholesterol.
