Hi Monica 
For private nurseries in the Altrincham/Sale area please click here.
Day nurseries and full daycare in Trafford

But if you only want childcare 9-3 (and don't want to pay for a full 8am - 6pm day) consider pre-schools which offer "wrap-around" care which includes lunchtime. Many will take from 2 or 2 1/2 years. N.B. they may only open in term time.

3/5/11 Children's TV series looking for kids aged 11-14 to travel to South East Asia

Do you know any kids who love having the latest stuff? 

Do their parents spoil them rotten?!

Or perhaps they’re concerned about where the products we buy come from? 

A new series is looking for young people aged 11*-14 to travel to Indonesia and/or the Philippines to find out more about where their favourite clothes, toys and gadgets come from, and meet the people who make them. We’re looking for young people who are not afraid to tell us what they think, and are happy to challenge other people’s opinions. 

If you know someone aged between 11*-14 who would like to find out more, their parent or legal guardian should call 020 3301 8411 or email jobartlett@watershedtv.co.uk  We are not able to speak to any kids without talking with their parent or guardian first, so they should not call us themselves!

Closing date for applications: 21st May 2011 

Notes:

*Any 11 year olds must have turned 11 on or before 31st August 2010, so be in year 7 at school.

21/7/10 Mandarin Teacher
Does anyone know of a teacher of Mandarin or a local class for my 14 year old daughter who is extremely keen to learn the language? Thankyou. We live in the Wrexham area but are willing to travel.
Tracey Armstrong

To respond email noticeboard@kidsguide.co.uk  

I believe there are after school classes at Kings School in Chester.
Realise this is a bit late but my 11 year old son attends a fantastic mandarin club at the Queens school in Chester (he attends a chester comprenensive school). They learn the language and cultural aspects and he is made really welcome. They don’t charge us anything as long as he stays keen and dedicated (its not the easiest language) he can carry on going. He is now in his second year and amazed us by chatting to the waitress when we visited Manchester chinatown!

Hello there,
This message is for a mum who was looking for a Mandarin tutor for her 14-year old daughter back in July. I have just found this message. Hope it's not too late to offer my tuition to the keen learner. 

I am a UK qualified Science teacher (Bangor University) and a member of the General Teaching Council for Wales. After being a Mandarin teacher for 5 years and the head teacher for 4 years at Cardiff Chinese School, I am now a private Mandarin tutor. I give lessons from home in person and on Skype.

A little bit more about myself, I have a 14 year-old daughter too and a few pupils of similar age learning Mandarin with me.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Huayun.

Dr. Huayun Zhuang-Jackson.
