Winter/Spring Edition, Contents

Our regular competitions can be found on pages 3 & 43, the local events and where to find Santa are on page 29. A big heart-felt thank you goes out to advertisers, friends and family for their patience, understanding and kindness following the illness and sad passing of our dear Grandad, Charlie Eeles aged 93, during the production of this issue. Charlie was born at The Anchor Pub, Stanwell Moor where he later became publican with his wife Lal and was a well known and loved figure in both Stanwell Moor and Ashford. We, his family, will miss him but we’ll never forget him.

Not just a job...a way of life

Do you help out at your child’s school, nursery or playgroup? Have you ever thought about making a career out of it?

Why you need a Will! Writing a Will is essential, however few people get around to doing it. In fact, over 75% of adults in the UK die without a Will. A Will is often thought of as just the place where one distributes ones assets after death, but a Will also has a very important role to play, particularly for all parents with young children and especially for those who are not married.

If you are aged over 25 and have six months experience or more working in a childcare setting we can give you a full bursary to get an NVQ Level 2 Children’s Care, Learning and Development. This is a great opportunity to get a recognised qualification and we will help you every step of the way as you develop your fantastic new career.

Your Will is the appropriate place to appoint Guardians for your children in the event of both parents dying. If this is not done it may be down to the Courts to decide who your children will live with. It is also the place to ensure the financial needs of both your children and the appointed Guardians. Trust Funds can be set up in your Will and used for the benefit of your children. In your Will you also name the Trustees who are going to administer these funds.

Apply now Contact us to find out more: Careers in childcare advice line: 01372 833900 Email: careersinchildcare@surreycc.gov.uk www.surreycc.gov.uk/eycpractitioners

Shortland and 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 email wills@shortlandsawbridge.co.uk A special discount is available to readers of The Family Grapevine. If you mention this article when making your appointment we will write your Will for the special price of just £120 each or £140 for a pair.

Safe Treatments for Baby & Mum-2-Be Nicholas J Oram qualified in 1994 with a BSc in Chiropractic and is the owner of Sunbury Chiropractic Centre. He also works alongside Drs Christine Gardiner and Mumuksh Patel at the Glebe Street G.P. Surgery in Chiswick. Chiropractic and cranial treatment is a very gentle and safe treatment which can be given to pregnant Mums up to the day of delivery for conditions e.g. back ache, symphysis pubis dysfunction (SPD), sacroiliac instability, sciatica and acid reflux. Treatment for a new born from as young as a day old involves gentle massage and muscular releases together with cranial work so gentle that when babies arrive asleep, they often donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wake up during the treatment. Some of the conditions treated are colic, constipation, reflux, sleeping / feeding difficulties and general grizzliness or unexplained crying. Most of these conditions can be helped quickly and successfully by chiropractic without needing to take medication at such a tender age.

Playball is a scientifically-based multi-sport program, which has been developed over 25 years by a team of occupational therapists, sports scientists, paediatricians and coaches to give 2-9 year olds the most sophisticated sports coaching possible. The Playball program helps your child to develop vital life skills through learning skills from a number of different ball sports. For the younger age groups, Playball focuses on activities that strengthen your child’s core, giving them greater stability, and confidence in moving. Playball also incorporates fundamental ball skills and activities scientifically structured to promote better coordination through ‘crossing the midline’ of the brain. As your child progresses, the focus shifts to the finer movements, skills and techniques required for a variety of different ball games including hockey, tennis, football, basketball, netball, cricket, baseball, rugby and volleyball. In the fun, encouraging environment Playball provides, your child will also develop invaluable life skills such as leadership, communication, teamwork, confidence, persistence and independence, all of which can set them apart in the classroom and beyond! So why not give your child an unfair advantage?!

The Springboard to confidence for your child

The UK’s leading national active physical play programme for children from six months to 5yrs Developing physical skills of agility, balance,co-ordination appropriate to his or her age

Supervision by trained staff in a fun and caring environment

Diddi Dance Afternoon Classes Diddi Dance are proud to announce that afternoon classes have now started in Woking. At Diddi Dance we realise and encourage endless enthusiasm and energy in an action packed, full of fun 45 minute dance class. Using various dancing games and exercises, bells, hoops and dance ribbons to our own funky pop songs your little one not only improves their rhythm and co-ordination but also social and gross motor skills. We also look at different dance styles every half term from salsa and hip hop to country and disco. Parents and carers are encouraged to join in and share the enjoyment with their diddi dancer. However, week after week as you see their confidence blossom you will find yourself able to take a well earned rest and watch with pride their funky moves and smiles. We realise that some toddlers are more confident than others. We therefore offer a free trial so you can be confident its a class they’ll enjoy. For a free trial or to book a party call Alysia on 01483 474706 or 07811 346482

Christmas Cards Can Raise a Smile Local Children’s Charity Says Christmas Cards Should Reflect the Spirit of the Season As the shops begin to stock up for Christmas and the days get shorter, local charity CHASE hospice care for children is calling on shoppers to remember the true spirit of the Christmas season when it comes to the cards they buy this year. Last year, many charities suffered from reduced Christmas Cards sales, possibly due to the economic climate and wide-spread reports in the media that charity cards in many High Street shops were giving as little as 4p to charity for every £1.00 spent. CHASE was one of a small number of charities that bucked the trend. Ian Davies, Trading Manager at CHASE, said: “We put this down to the sheer value and quality of the cards, and the fact that after the cost of printing the cards, around 60% of the pack price went directly to the charity.” The Charities Advisory Trust said that more than 80% of charity cards sold on the high street last year gave less than a tenth of the price to charity. However, by buying cards directly from CHASE, you can be sure that the majority of your money will be helping those who need it most. “We have a great range of cards again this year”, the charity spokesperson said. “And just as important is the fact that the funds raised will help us to continue providing specialist practical, nursing and emotional support free of charge to local families with children and teenagers not expected to live to reach adulthood”. Christmas is a very special time for many families, but for the families CHASE supports it’s especially important to make the best of every opportunity to enjoy good times together. Yet because of their serious medical conditions, life-limited children and their families are often

Tel: 01932 854690

deprived of opportunities like going to meet Santa, or enjoying a Christmas meal together. CHASE cares for families in their own homes and at Christopher’s children’s hospice whenever they are needed – 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. The funds provided from Christmas cards, donations and other fundraising initiatives allow CHASE to provide opportunities for families to have fun times together that will become treasured memories in years to come. Many local shops, Post Office and cafes are showing their Christmas spirit by selling a selection of CHASE Christmas cards and giving 100% of the money raised to CHASE. To find out your nearest shop contact CHASE on 01483 454213 or email fundraising@chasecare.org.uk. CHASE is also providing special email Christmas cards on their website again this year, at www.chasecare.org.uk/ecards. They are asking supporters to send these ‘ecards’ instead of paper cards this year and in return, supporters can make a donation to represent the money they have saved. The mail-Order Christmas brochure is also available to download from the CHASE website at www.chasecare.org.uk/christmas.
