Free Under-Fives Newsletter

********************************* The Newsletter on the Under-Fives Issue 26 : September 2006 http://www.studholme.net/child/ ********************************* September is here already and some of you will have children going to school for the first time - I hope it is going well. My daughter is already complaining that her teachers "boss her about". The exodus to school has left some toddler and play- groups depleted. So if you have been thinking of going to one now is a good time. You'll get a very friendly welcome and it won't be too busy.
