The Grapevine Notice Board
We’ve just had the first frosts, heralding the beginning of winter and inevitably the end of another year. On a business level it has been a long one...everyone waiting for things in the country to improve, trying to be optimistic, but the gloomy news keeps on coming. However, I would rather be here, watching the pennies more closely, than living in many other areas of the world, under dictatorship and in war or coping with famine and drought. The good old British fighting spirit will prevail and hopefully things will generally improve next year.

companies are still supporting me by advertising. It is my job to ensure each receives the best exposure I can offer, but it’s for all of us to support our local businesses and keep our communities alive. If you contact anyone you see advertising in this issue, please let them know you heard about them in the Grapevine. It helps them to know that their advertising is worthwhile and in turn will ensure that I will be around for some more years to come. Thank you!

The Family Grapevine printed publication focuses on being a free local phonebook of services for families, concentrating on antenatal to 18 years. A proportion of the entries give contact numbers for help and support in specialist areas, which can be difficult and time consuming to source for the average busy family. The line entries - and indeed the adverts - are sufficiently varied to encompass the wide needs of a modern family.
There are some reader offers including discount on yummy cupcakes on page 37 and on page 40 a MakeMe voucher for a workshop of your choice. Have a good look through-there may be something for you!

Advertising in The Family Grapevine is very good value and very easy! If you are interested, please don’t leave it until near the deadline to contact me (details below). I will follow through on any enquiry, which doesn’t donate ‘hard-sell’, but just good business management. My business is full time and I understand the demands and interruptions of juggling the many roles working parents have to contend with. With that in mind I am happy to receive calls at any reasonable time and I always respond to messages. Good communication is a vital part of any successful business and I think my ability to ‘keep in touch’ is a key reason for the continued success of this Grapevine. The names of all summer competition winners are on my website. There was a fantastic response. Thank you to everyone who enteredsorry you couldn’t all win! Kara James won tickets and emailed, ‘We had a fantastic family outing at Chessington World of Adventures. There was something for everyone to do and enjoy. The short queues helped make it a really fun day. The highlight was most certainly the audio guided tour on the Safari Skyway which offered us a brilliant view from the sky. Thank you Mid Surrey Family Grapevine for a lovely day! Please keep on running the competitions, they are so worthwhile. Highlight of the year for me was the engagement of my gorgeous daughter to my very lovely future son-in-law. Many happy times ahead. xx

Do you have young children? Do you have a Will? Is this something you know you must do, but never get around to it? Make it a Resolution this month to get it done! Without a Will, if both parents have died, the care of your children, who they live with, will be decided by the Courts. Without a Will, the money you leave for your children’s care may not be managed the way that you wish, or by the persons you wish. Please don’t leave these things to chance. Shortland & Sawbridge are a family business and are members of The Institute of Professional Will Writers. We specialise in writing Wills for people with young children. We are happy to provide you with more information on 020 8397 5176 or contact us at wills@shortlandsawbridge.co.uk A special discount is available to readers of the Family Grapevine. Mention this article when making your appointment and we will write your Will for the special price of just £145 each, or £175 for a pair.

Music makes us feel good and sharing a song with your child is precious time spent together. Monkey Music is the leading pre-school music group for children aged 3 months to 4 years. Last year, it was voted ‘Best National Pre-schooler Development Activity’ in the What’s On 4 Little Ones Awards. Monkey Music aims to introduce children to music, with teachers who gently encourage musical skills. Classes are small, with a curriculum designed for each of the four age groups. Teachers make use of the 30 minute classes to captivate the children using catchy music, percussion, props and boundless energy, with opportunities for the children to play and make music of their own. Over 300 songs, musical games and movement are used throughout and as the children move up through the classes, you watch their musical skills develop. You’re never more than a few minutes away from a Monkey Music class!

Parents, through a wide range of media, are now very familiar with thinking that young children learn through their play and that this ‘play’ provides a strong foundation on which children may build their future skills. It is also true that parents often have the feeling they may be letting their children down by not caring for them at home prior to starting at ‘big school’. However, a well managed day nursery will provide a positive transition from home to a more formal learning environment in many unseen ways. It is no longer the case that children are just ‘minded’ at nursery. On the contrary children’s play and learning is guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage. This guidance document is used by all Early Years settings and assists staff in providing a stimulating and exciting environment where children are able to develop at their own pace.

24 Montessori Nurseries Relocation The Rosalita Edwards Montessori Nursery, which was formerly located at the Tiffinian Sports Club in Summer Avenue, East Molesey, has recently relocated to the Imber Court Sports Club in Ember Lane, East Molesey, Surrey, KT8 0BT. The new location is conveniently situated for easy access from the surrounding communities. The nursery is now providing Montessori education and care for children aged 2 to 5 years in the secure and comfortable surroundings of the Esher Suite at the Sports Club, and is looking forward to a more settled period in the future. The Nursery is regarded by Surrey County Council as providing the only full day care service in the Molesey area, and is open from 7.45am until 6.00pm, 46 weeks of the year. It offers morning, afternoon, all day and full time sessions, on any days of the week. It is registered by Ofsted for 40 children per session, and provides two classrooms, for ages 2 to 3, and ages 3 to 5 years. Children from 5 years up to 8 years are catered for after school, in half term and school holidays. In its recent inspection of the nursery in January 2011, Ofsted rated the nursery as “Outstanding” for both Education and Care. Full details of Ofsted’s report can be accessed on www.ofsted.gov.uk . All 3 and 4 year old children are entitled to receive government EYFE funding for up to 15 hours per week. The nursery provides spontaneous learning in a structured, calm environment, both indoors and outdoors.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!!!!!
No one likes the first day of school after a nice, relaxing summer holidays, and as soon as the alarm starts beeping you just want to fall asleep again. But the first day of secondary school is definitely the hardest! I left primary school being the big fish in a small pond, but then I arrive at secondary school feeling like a tiny fish in a massive pond! The sweet little pond that I’ve enjoyed for the last 7 years was Royal Kent School in Oxshott, it was a short walk from home and there were only 21 pupils in my year, but I’m growing up fast and I knew it was time for a change. It was quite worrying going to a school with 150 pupils in my year alone and corridors with a one way system was very different! My new friends and a lot of other people would have felt the same as me on the first day. However, St Andrew’s Catholic School in Ashtead couldn’t have been more welcoming, with induction days, welcome evening, a BBQ just for year 7 and very friendly teachers. All in all, secondary school isn’t as scary as I thought! I will miss Royal Kent but, thanks to mobile phones I’m still in touch with all my old friends. I’ll also have a lot more opportunities as St Andrew’s is a fantastic school and I know the change is going to be great for me!!! By Grace E.M.A 11yrs

Sumtastics is a truly multisensory maths club which gives pre-
schoolers a headstart so that they can start school as confident happy maths learners. Our method is highly structured and multisensory. We want children to have a fantastic start, to flourish and have a life-long love of numbers. Sumtastics is unique. Each number has a colour, a taste, a touch, a song, and a story. It is both visual and tactile. Sumtastics engages the children using a variety of exciting resources where the children actively take part in the learning. It develops curiosity and encourages discovery through different activities and experimenting with the numbers. Sumtastics focuses not only on the number sequencing, bonds, addition and subtraction, odds and even but also on number language.

Reading Therapist
Maggie Tanner BA(Hons), PGCE, PGDip.Counselling I use a new way of teaching reading, spelling and verbal intelligence. • Free - an initial test, to show why a child is unable to read effectively and a short lesson to demonstrate how I will teach what is needed. • A simple structured course of 12-15 hours that is easy to do and understand, which will bring a child to reading age. • An original and stimulating course, designed to develop a child’s vocabulary, creativity, memory and thinking skills. 1 in 3 children struggles to read effectively. Many children have poor verbal intelligence, reflected in their written work.

40 Party Entertainers continued A - Z Leisure Activities For School Age Children The day I made created my own creature Today mum took me out for a treat. I got to actually make my own creative creature at a MakeMe workshop. We arrived in the pretty Medicine Garden where MakeMe is based. The other boys and girls were chatting with great excitement and the lady who ran the workshop was really friendly. The tables were covered in all sorts of pretty fabrics, buttons and ribbons. After I designed my creature we all went outside to play and have yummy refreshments. After our break we learnt how to cut, sew and put our creature together. It was really fun. The picture is me with my newly born creature I have called her Poppy. I had such a brilliant time that mum booked me a birthday treat – a workshop party for all my friends (but not anyone under 7 as they are not grown-up enough). We are going to make charms out of polymer clay that look like sweets and cakes and put them on a bracelet to take home. I couldn’t get mum to leave as she wanted to know about other MakeMe workshops. They do baking, knitting, sewing, furniture painting and photography. There are 40 to choose from!

A - Z Leisure Activities For School Age Children 47 continued for Easy fundraising ! your local cause
St James’ Church Choir, Weybridge There has always been a strong musical tradition at St James’ Church Weybridge. The Choir is a mixed voice choir of all ages which helps to lead the singing at the main 10.00 am Eucharist every Sunday morning, as well as singing at special services, performing annual concerts for charity and singing in Cathedrals.
The Peel2Save fundraising card is one of the most efficient and effective ways for your charity, school, club, toddler group, pre-school, good cause and other non-profit organisations to raise much needed money.
We are particularly keen to encourage younger members to join. No audition or experience is necessary, just an enjoyment of singing and making music. They will receive training during Choir practice to prepare them for singing awards.
Contact your local co-ordinator: Cobham Frederique Donnan 01932 864704
Choir practice is held in the Church on Wednesdays from 6.30 pm for younger choristers and anyone interested in joining is welcome to visit any practice to see what goes on.
