mini me childrens salonmini me has become a permanent feature of Teddington High

Street over the last two years nestled cosily next to its big sister

salon Elements, mini me was designed to refl ect this heritage with

some twists for a younger clientele.

Each hairdressing section in the salon has a mini dvd player to

view a selection of in house dvds or have the option to bring along

their own, a large screen with a Wii and numerous games. The

salon also has a fi sh tank installed which acts to distract younger

children who might not relish their visit to the salon.

mini me goes a step further than just being a children only salon,

it employs stylists that are specifi cally trained to cut children’s hair,

it has a specifi c in- house head lice treatment service which takes

either a chemical or non-chemical approach to head lice removal

and prevention and stocks a specifi c child friendly range of hair

care products which are sulphate and paraben free.

Mums looking for support when going back to work can now join a new community site launched in Richmond by professional facilitator Inge Woudstra from Mum & Career (www.mumandcareer.co.uk)

Their fi rst event was held at the Teddington Arms. There was no talk about babies, breastfeeding or schools but instead mums talked about future career options, job sharing, or opting in and out of work.

The event was set up by community websites in Richmond Borough, www.forsanityssake.com, which informs parents about activities and events for bumps to pre-schoolers on an easy, up-to-date calendar and www.mumandcareer.co.uk, which offers guidance and inspiration to mums with ambition.

Inge Woudstra comments: ‘There is no easy answer on how best to combine career and children, you have to work it out for yourself, starting by knowing why you want to work. When you are clear what you want to get out of it, it becomes much easier to live with a tough day at work, missing your child or feelings of guilt.’

Going back to work after a maternity leave or a career break has to be one of the toughest times for a mum, both emotionally and practically. It’s hard on the heart strings and tough to keep the pace.

Along with this, when going back, many women struggle with a lack of confi dence in their work skills. This is only natural as looking after children requires an entirely different set of skills, energy and pace than most work environments. Both community web sites, are aimed at helping mums stay sane in this transition.

A mum who is a Director within the Health Service who attended the session, said: “I am

going back two days a week after maternity leave. Listening to others made me gain clarity about my own feelings and position. It was great to hear so many different ways of thinking about combining motherhood and career.”

A former head in Sales and Marketing said, ‘I have a young baby and have just resigned as my job involved long hours and a long commute. It is pretty scary. Today was really good to get the brain juices fl owing again.’

Mum and Career and For Sanity’s Sake will be hosting another ‘Going Back to Work ‘ workshop in June, due to the high demand for this event – to be part of the discussion go to either www.mumandcareer.co.uk or www.forsanityssake.com.

Contact details on 0208 948 4381 or 078 6658 4930.

Would you like to run your own Childcare Agency? Flexible,

rewarding business that fi ts in around the family.

No experience is necessary.

provided to start your own successful agency.

SEE THEM BALANCE SEE THEM BEAM,

AT THE LITTLE GYMThe Little Gym runs weekly, curriculum-based, gymnastics classes for children from 4 months to 12 years of age. The gym provides a safe, colourful haven where children can gain confi dence in a non-competitive environment, with close guidance and encouragement from highly trained and friendly instructors. Our tailored classes help children get the most from every stage of their development; they promote co-ordination, balance, rhythm and fl exibility, as well as an opportunity to let off steam, make new friends and have lots of FUN!

Our classes allow each child to grow their skills at their own pace. They combine gymnastics, music and games and provide a personalised learning experience that evolves week-by-week. Throughout the programme, parents are kept abreast of their child’s individual progress. Whilst grown-ups accompany the under 3’s, parents of older children can spectate from a comfortable viewing lobby.

We offer a free introductory class, so that parents have an opportunity to see the delight in their child, as they achieve there fi rst Monkey Jump or Forward role. Classes are held throughout the day, all year round, so please don’t delay and give us a call at your nearest branch (see our ad on the back cover for more information). The Little Gym also provides children’s parties and fully OFSTED approved holiday camps.

Please contact one of our friendly team at your local branch:

Hampton Hill on tel. 020 8977 0099 or [email protected]

Wandsworth on tel. 020 8874 5657 or [email protected]
