Sandilands Nursery & Preschool is opening for full time child care from the beginning of November and believes in ‘affordable fees’. “I have slashed the full time care fees for 3 year olds to £100.00 per week and £150.00 for 2 year old children”, says the owner and manager, Wendy Emond. She is a Christian who has cut her profit margins to enable parents to work without worrying about high childcare bills.

Wendy is a qualified teacher and an early years reading specialist. “My aim is to encourage children to read at a young age. We have great fun with our ‘Fun with Phonics’ and the children learn holistically with songs, actions, dance and speech. When teaching very children the teacher’s skill is paramount and she has to present the teaching/learning in such a way that the children learn without realising it. In play children teach themselves, it’s the same with our reading activities, they learn just by playing”.

Sandilands Nursery is set in massive grounds and we have access to a wood. The children enjoy a wide variety of outside play and inside there is also a very large space crammed with activities and toys. Our motto is Learning and Fun rolled into One!

• 150g chocolate cake• 25g soft butter• 50g icing sugar• 25g plain chocolate• 100g milk chocolate• Small pretzels, broken into large ‘antler’ shape pieces• 8 small jelly sweets, red chocolate beans or Smarties• 2 tbsp royal icing coloured black or purchased black writing icing• 8 cake pop sticks and a polystyrene block to stand up the cake pops

Crumble the cake into fine crumbs. Put into a bowl. In another bowl, beat together the butter and icing sugar until creamy.

Melt the plain chocolate in the microwave or in a bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Add the melted chocolate to the butter mixture and combine. Add this to the cake crumbs and mix thoroughly using your hands, until it sticks together. Divide the mixture into eight and shape each one into a smooth ball. Insert a cake pop stick, place on a tray lined with baking parchment and chill for at least 2 hours.

Melt the milk chocolate in the microwave or in a bowl over a pan of barely simmering water. Take a cake pop and dip in the chocolate. Shake gently until the excess has drained off. Stand in the polystyrene block.

Make two holes in the top of the head and insert a pretzel ‘antler’ in each one. Press a sweetie nose onto the front and hold for a few seconds until attached. Repeat with all the other cake pops. Leave to set for about 20 minutes and then using black icing, pipe on eyes and a mouth.

Theatretrain Sutton is excited to be adding new introductory performing arts classes for 4-5 year olds - TT Minis - to its already established Theatretrain classes which offer professional training in the performance arts for 6-18 year olds. The main Theatretrain School is a part time Performing Arts School for young people and offers all its students the chance to be part of something big – it creates outstanding opportunities for all its pupils to perform, whether in local theatres, on West End stages or at the O2. It focuses on making its training accessible to all and actively encourage children of all abilities to get involved. Centre Director, Carol Soper, says: “the new classes are a wonderful introduction to Theatretrain for younger children and will encourage

creativity, nurture the imagination and provide a solid foundation on which to build the children’s artistic abilities. Pupils will receive tuition in dance, drama and singing – just like the main school - through a fun and exciting programme, with the focus being on storytelling and play. This course is ideal to encourage children and develop their self-confidence whilst learning in a safe and secure environment.”The new classes will start at the newly built Stanley Park High School on Saturday 10 January 2015 and will run from 9-10.30 every Saturday during term time – including half term. Places are limited so contact Carol on 07500 790254 or email her at [email protected] to book your child’s place.
