elcome to the summer issue of Lots for Tots Derby. I would like to introduce myself as the new Editor. I am excited to be a part of such a fabulous magazine and I look forward to bringing you many more great issues. For more information on the Lots for Tots expansion please see the following page. This issue is packed full of information on where to have some summer fun. There is so much going on around Derbyshire, all the way through to September. This summer is particularly exciting as London is hosting the Olympic games. There are some great events happening with an Olympic theme at some of the great venues in and around Derby. The opening ceremony of the Olympic games is on Friday 27th July. Good luck Team GB! Finally I would like to wish you all a great summer and I hope that we all get some sunshine.

Lots for Tots news... Meet new editor Becky & find out our plans for going Global!
T
his is an exciting year for Lots for Tots as they prepare to expand nationally!
It has been a busy few months for me, learning how to run the magazine. I took over as the Editor of Lots for Tots Derby in May and so this summer issue is my first. I am excited about my new role and rest assured there will be no drastic changes to Nadine’s winning formula. I grew up in Derby and recently returned to Allestree after spending 4 years living in Hong Kong. I am a mum to 2 young children Isabella &
4
William, so I know first hand just how essential the magazine is for parents of young children. As a previous advertiser that had a great response, I also know how well Lots for Tots works for businesses. Lots for Tots Founder & former Editor Nadine’s focus is now on spreading Lots for Tots around the UK & training parents in running their business from home, just as she did. I am enjoying working with Nadine and I look forward to being part of the Lots for Tots expansion. I hope you continue to enjoy the magazine & find it as useful as ever!

Meet the farm animals in the barns and in the fields, and get up close with the daily animal encounter sessions. Take a tractor trailer ride around the farm and watch pig racing. There is the new indoor play zone with drop slides for adventurous children and adults, and a special soft play area for toddlers.

Allestree mum Jane Winter tells us about her accountancy firm Armitage-Winter
I
set up my own accountancy firm in 2004. Having worked in larger firms, I wanted to provide a much more personal accountancy service to small businesses and individuals. I am a qualified Chartered Accountant and Chartered Tax Adviser and have two little children, so I completely understand about juggling work around the school run and family life! Luckily I have Julie Smith, a qualified Certified Accountant and Sarah Teale, our apprentice, to help me. We like to help new and growing businesses, giving advice on starting up, bookkeeping, tax, VAT, payroll and much more. We understand that tax can seem daunting; we can help with queries, however small, reduce the worry and give you reassurance. We can
make a big difference by dealing with your paperwork and tax returns for you, making sure everything is done correctly and deadlines are met. We deal with the Tax Office on a daily basis and contact them on your behalf so that you don’t have to. We offer a free first meeting, so please feel free to come in for an initial chat, with no obligation. We have been with Armitage-Winter for 2 years and have always found them to be professional, helpful and always on the end of the telephone to help with any queries we may have regarding our accounts or payroll. We would highly recommend their services. Creative Days Nursery

Allestree Cleaners celebrates its 5th Birthday this Summer
S
ue Topham is quite an extraordinary woman. Not only does she run the home for herself, her husband and her 7 children, she is also the Director of a very successful cleaning business Allestree Cleaning Services Ltd and employs 21 part-time staff.
Sue became aware of the need for a reliable, flexible and trustworthy domestic cleaning service following the birth of Andrew (who is now 5 years). Thoughts of starting a business which is dedicated to providing the services that clients require rather than finding clients who would fit into the business stayed with her and after carrying out research, she decided that there was sufficient demand to set up the business and invest in recruiting the ideal staff who were trained to provide a professional, high class, reliable and trustworthy service. Sue ensures that she only employs high calibre staff who are flexible, enthusiastic and have a friendly approach. “They are mainly women who have children, perhaps who are now at school, and who want to
34
have a job which allows them to earn their own wage, whilst meeting people in the local community.� As a result, the business has grown at an astounding rate mainly through recommendations from existing customers. Domestic services are the core of the business, however, Sue also receives a huge demand for office and commercial cleaning. The cleaning service can be arranged to suit individual needs whether it be a one off clean, short term help after illness, before/after special occasions or a regular weekly, fortnightly or monthly visit. To find out cleaning prices/rates call Sue on 01332 557 974 or 07504 85743
