Dear Readers Good day Sunshine! If the national press is to be believed, by the time you read this we will be basking in the start of a three-month heatwave. Well, we live in hope! But what is guaranteed is a long summer finding something for the kids to do, and if you are a working parent without family support nearby this is one big headache. Our extensive guide to local summer clubs, camps and supervised activities is therefore your essential reading. With our increasingly busy lives, family time is really important too, and there’s lots to do together in the Crawley & Horsham area this summer - and we’ve got that covered too. We love to hear from our readers, so do get in touch and tell us what you like about the magazine and what you’d like to see more of. In the meantime we wish you all a wonderful sunny summer!

The ‘Big Friendly Read’ Summer Reading Challenge 2016 Produced by The Reading Agency, will launch in all West Sussex libraries on Saturday 16 July 2016. All over the UK, libraries are celebrating 100 years of the world’s favourite storyteller, Roald Dahl. The Big Friendly Read, the Summer Reading Challenge 2016, is your child’s chance to join in those celebrations. The scheme is free and flexible for all families – all your child has to do is sign up at the library and then read six library books by Saturday 17 September 2016. They can be any books they like – stories, fact books, joke books, e-books and audio books - they all count. Children will receive rewards for each book they tell us about and those that read all six will receive a special Big Friendly Read medal and certificate. Libraries are also asking for volunteers to help run the challenge in a library near them. Volunteers will be offered full training and can gain new skills, including communication, team work and experience of working with families. This is a particularly good opportunity for young people seeking new skills to help with school, college, training or employment. To find out more about the Big Friendly Read, including what’s happening in your local library, or to apply to volunteer, visit www.westsussex. gov.uk/readingchallenge or ask in your local library.

A new nursery in Crawley Bright Horizons Family Solutions are excited to announce that they will be opening a brand new Day Nursery and Preschool in Crawley in September 2016. The nursery is located on Maidenbower Business Park in close proximity to the M25 as well as Three Bridges Station making it ideal for commuting parents, and will be open 52 weeks of the year, excluding weekends and bank holidays. Bright Horizons have over 30 years’ experience in building and designing nurseries, and this wealth of knowledge will enable them to create a naturally inspiring nursery environment that will allow each child to grow, flourish and love learning forever. Crawley Day Nursery and Preschool has been thoughtfully designed to meet the needs of children aged three months

to five years, offering six individual homebases specifically tailored to different age groups, as well as a children’s kitchen where the children can explore Bright Horizons’ Cookery Club programme. The setting will also boast an external play area featuring a treehouse, climbing wall and beach area. Bright Horizons’ carefully selected nursery staff team will lead the children through a range of educational activities, nurturing each child’s imagination and helping them to develop and learn in a warm and friendly environment. For babies and toddlers they create a safe world, rich with opportunities to actively explore, with books, songs, and lots of listening and responding to their vocalisations and words. For toddlers they offer the manageable

challenges and relaxed environment that two to three year olds need. Staff understand the frequent changes in moods, interests, and capabilities and provide calm, consistent care and supportive teaching. For pre-schoolers, Bright Horizons have created bespoke Ready for School Programmes which prepare children for the next steps on their learning journey. These programmes include Growing Readers, Growing Writers, Growing Mathematicians, Active Athletes, Cookery Club and Gardening Club. The nursery will have an on-site chef and menus which are created by a nutritionist to provide a healthy and balanced diet. For more information, please visit www. brighthorizons.co.uk or call 01293 226919.

dance and drama

Encouraging Success Success, of course is measurable in many ways. A large part of the promotion of physical disciplines such as dance, are the multiple benefits and attributes those who have trained in them can take into adult life. Good posture, physical and spatial awareness of your own body must come high on the list. The knowledge to move, hold and even challenge the various parts of our bodies correctly as we grow and as we grow older, is invaluable. Co-ordination, balance, general fitness, learning how to succeed and build resilience in the face of failure, are all integral parts of a dancers training. Self-discipline and motivation are perhaps the most wonderful tools that training provides. Fitting school work around dance lessons, understanding the need to practise independently in order to achieve a desired result, and doing that independent practise even when you don’t feel like it – the list goes on! Pupils of the Louise Ryrie School of Dance & Drama, based in central Crawley are seeing the fruits of their hard work rewarded this year: Madison Sproston, 14 auditioned against

hundreds of other hopefuls to win herself one of 25 places at the BRIT School for Performing Arts commencing September 2016 on their BTEC Level 2 first certificate in Performing Arts (Musical Theatre.) Ashleigh Pickering, 16 has trained in ballet, modern, tap, jazz, contemporary & pilates since the age of three. She will commence the Professional Dance and Performance course at The Central School of Ballet, in September 2016. Two past-pupils, building on their childhood training, are inspirational role-models for younger students with similar ambitions. Lydia Clark has been accepted in to 3Fall Dance Company, which is made up of third year dancers at the University of Chichester. Working with a range of contemporary choreographers, they create works which tour to various schools and institutions around the country.

Madison: I absolutely love performing and my main motivation is enjoyment. If you’re passionate about something, it’s easier to try hard and put in the practise. Q. How important is it to have adults and teachers that believe in you? Claire: It’s important – it helps you to gain confidence and to feel supported. It helps to remember this support when you have to work on your own a lot. M: I wouldn’t have been able to achieve what I have done so far without the support of my family and teachers. Q. What would you say to young people striving to achieve success? Lydia: Dancers build a lot of skills such as team work, discipline, creative exploration and leading a healthy lifestyle which are all attributes that employers look for! Q. What would you say to parents supporting their children in their hobbies? C: By supporting them, both parents and child can enjoy the experience. The child feels more secure, and will have greater access to training and equipment, whilst parents are able to watch them improve and perform. M: It’s brilliant to support your children in their activities – but don’t put them under too much pressure, just let them enjoy it. Not the only way by any means, but introducing children to structured, disciplined dance lessons would definitely appear to be a positive move towards them leading motivated and accomplished lives! As a school, we continue to strive to give all our students the confidence to be the best they can be.

Helping to build lots of confidence Tiny Tekkers run football and multisport classes for children aged between 18 months and 7yrs. These sessions are put on to aid the children’s physical and social development. Every session covers all aspects of sports version of the ABC’S (agility, balance and coordination). You can expect everything from obstacle courses to football matches. Classes are very popular and are split each class into age appropriate categories so all the children can progress at a similar level with the coaches devised session plans. Your child can interact with lots of other children whilst they play and explore the sport, led by the coaches through the use of stories and imagination: turning ordinary play into structured learning. (The best part is they don’t even realise they are learning!) The coaches very much live by the ethos of “play not push” as they believe the best time for a child to learn is when they’re enjoying themselves. The coaches enjoy the sessions just as much as the kids (maybe even a bit more) as the class is high tempo and very entertaining throughout, ending every session on a positive note

consisting of a cool down and stickers/ hand-stamps for every child. Tiny Tekkers is a great way for children to learn how to interact, share, build confidence and play with others nicely before entering their playgroups/ nurseries and the likes. Not only do Tiny Tekkers run classes on the weekends and mid week but they also teach at schools, nurseries and playgroups. This is a good way for the children to be independent of their parents and discover the world of sports for themselves. The coaches are aided by the support staff of the school. Don’t let the “Tiny” fool you as they also run classes for older children and can cater for all ages. The company can run team coaching all the way up to adults teams. We offer a wide range of coaching services, ranging from 1 to 1 as well as team coaching. On top of all that they run fantastic parties that are great fun for all involved! Birthday packages can be tailored to meet any requirements whether it be a small party in your back garden or a fully blown sports day at a venue we can arrange. For more information, email Jordan@ tinytekkers.com or find them on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter

We also run fun multisports classes for toddlers PROFESSIONAL SPORTS COACHING COMPANY ● Holiday Camps ● Team Coaching ● 1 to 1 Specialised Training & much much more…
