This month feature is all about the Kids keeping them busy, educating them and having fun!
Karate promotes physical health and agility, discipline, concentration and
self-defence. It is a great way for children to get exercise, meet other children
and learn valuable skills which stay with them for life.
The belt system used in karate provides a useful way for children to focus
on "moving up the ranks" and the sense of satisfaction and self-fulfilment
this brings builds self-esteem and confidence. It is also about training the
mind and spirit so children learn skills they can take into other areas of life
too, such as better concentration and perseverance, vital for academic
success. For More Information, call today on: 07789 095 467.

Bramcote Day Nursery aim to provide
a secure and happy environment for
your child which will enable them to
develop to their full potential.
Established since 1994, there is a
baby room to cater for babies and
crawlers up to the age of eighteen
months, an area for walkers, another
area that accommodates toddlers
and an area for the pre-school
children.
Children are grouped according to age and developmental stage.
There is an outdoor play area, and when weather permits the facility
makes use of nearby parks.
The nursery is open from 8:00am to 6.00pm Monday to Friday. There
are also support systems in place for children with additional needs.
Children attend for a variety of sessions each week.
The staff understand that the framework is not about pushing children
yet ensuring that every child is given the opportunity to learn through
high quality play to the best of their ability.
They strongly believe that children are active learners from birth and
that if provided with the right environment, support and experiences; it
will then in turn encourage their curiosity, imagination and creativity.
The care team ensure that they work together with carers and parents to
ensure that they stimulate each child emotionally and intellectually by
providing unique circumstances that promote individual active learning.
The environment is organized into clearly defined areas to
accommodate different activities appropriate to the development and
competence of the children. Areas are divided, and where possible, by
the use of low-level shelving that reduces distraction and allows
children to become engrossed in their activities.
Mealtimes should be social, happy times where skills can be
developed and foods tasted! All of their meals are carefully planned
and created using only the freshest ingredients to meet the individual
needs and requirements of each child.

The Village Nursery is
committed to maintaining the
highest standards of day care
and nursery education from
six weeks to five years. They
offer full day and part time
day care and early years education in a safe, secure and stimulating
environment, along with good access to outside play areas.
Maureen Scott, one of the owners, is an experienced and qualified
early year’s teacher and this is reflected across the nursery with
learning activities from the baby unit upwards.
“We recognise what an important role we play in each child’s
development. Most of all, we want our children to be happy, confident
and secure.” explains Maureen
The Village Nursery is divided into five groups:
The Bumble Bees – 6 weeks to 12 months
The Caterpillar Crew – 12 months to 18 months
The Butterfly Bunch – 18 months to 2½ years
The Squirrels Nest - 2½ years to 3 years
The Den Pre-school – 3 to 5 years
Early Years Foundation Stage:
The Early Years Foundation Stage sets the standards that all early
years providers must meet to ensure that children learn and develop
well and are kept healthy and safe. There are four guiding principles:
every child is a unique child; children learn to be strong and
independent through positive relationships; children learn and
develop well in an enabling environment; children develop and learn
in different ways and at different rates.
Every child has a Key carer, a Nursery Nurse assigned to them to work
with you to follow your child’s development and progress. Each group
has a Manager / Senior Nursery Nurse who has overall responsibility
for their section, and is also available to talk to about your child.
The Nursery has their very own cook on the premises who provides
home-cooked hot meals daily. Special diets can be accommodated.

Ofsted registration makes
private tuition with Kip McGrath
more affordable than you think!
Making the decision to find
private tuition to give your child
additional learning support can be
a difficult one to make, but not all
parents are aware that as the Kip
McGrath Education Centre
Nottingham West is Ofsted
registered, it’s possible to cut the cost of tuition by using Child Care
Vouchers or by claiming back up to 70% if they receive Child Tax
Credit.
Child Care Vouchers
Many employers offer access to Child Care Vouchers as part of a
benefits package. This means that the cost is deducted before income
tax has been applied – a saving of up to 45% off the cost, depending
on your total earnings.
Child Tax Credit
You may be eligible to claim Child Tax Credit for each child you are
responsible for if they are under 16 or under 20 and in approved
education or training. Child Tax Credit may also be available if you
have a disabled child or are the main carer for an adopted or fostered
child. You don’t have to be working to claim it and it won’t affect your
Child Benefit.
Check out the qualifying criteria at: www.taxcredits.hmrc.gov.uk.
Every Kip McGrath session is fun, relaxed and safe. An individual
programme is created for each child (up to A level) and based on the
National Curriculum to complement what they are learning at school.
Kip McGrath tutors are qualified teachers, expert at guiding their
students to achieve their potential, beginning with building
their self-confidence.
Free Kip McGrath assessment
Kip McGrath offers every child a free comprehensive assessment.

Marianne Samuels offers Mother and Baby Relaxation Classes...
“In this hour of bliss we rest in ‘peace stations’ of meditative music,
gentle yoga, deep breathing and soothing sounds to find calm.
Babies are sensitive to sounds and love the melodic tunes of their
mother’s voice. We use simple speech sounds and songs to allow baby
to tune into the rhythmical elements of speech stimulating the ear
and helping the development of speech.
This exchange between mother and baby is a sacred time for
connection and bonding and very relaxing too.
After the class there will be time to socialise with a little nourishing
indulgence of tea and treats.
This class is suitable for babies up to 7 months.

Enjoying the lighter
side of life after
losing a total of
over ten stones...
Long term changes to lifestyle and
eating habits are encouraged as the key
to a better quality of life. Two ladies show
the way forward...
Alysen McLaughlin
has lost an amazing 6.5 st after joining in
April 2013 through the GP referral
scheme. Alysen says 'a lot of people
worry about joining a Slimming club because they don't
know what to expect, but from the minute I walked into the group, the
support I've received from my Consultant Louise and the rest of the group
has been brilliant. I've dropped several dress sizes and loved shopping for
an outfit for my daughters wedding in August where lots of family and
friends didn't recognise me! It's made a huge difference to my life, I've got
so much more energy and I can now do things that I couldn't before'.
Cheryl Bowers joined along with two of her friends who wanted to lose
weight after having their babies, and she has lost over 4 stone. They all love
Slimming World's Food Optimising eating plan, which encourages slimmers
to fill up on satisfying yet healthy foods like fruit and veg, lean meat and fish,
pasta, potatoes, rice and pulses without having to weigh or measure. Cheryl
says 'I love trying out all the delicious healthy recipes I pick up from other
members at the group and my friends are amazed at how much I can eat
and still lose weight.
They both slimmed down at Wollaton Cricket Club Group and were
crowned 'Woman of the Year' a Slimming World Competition that
recognises the achievements of women making long-term healthy
lifestyle changes.
Louise who runs the Wollaton Cricket Club group says ' I am so proud of
Alysen and Cheryl, not only do they both look fabulous, their health has
improved, they're bursting with energy and are an inspiration to everyone.
The Wollaton Slimming World group is held every Tuesday at 5.30 and 7.30
and Friday at 9.30am, and Louise is also relaunching a lunchtime group at
The Pearson Centre Beeston on Tuesdays at 12.30. To join or find out more

season
GOLDEN EAGLE
FUTURES –
A TALK BY DR
ALAN FIELDING
20th October
2014, 7.30PM
- 9.30PM
Trent Vale Infants School, Trent Road, Beeston Rylands,
Nottingham, NG9 1LP
About the talk
The Golden Eagle is an iconic species in the UK and many other countries. Its future
depends on how it can adapt to a landscape that is constantly changing. In some places
it is doing well, in others its absence is a national scandal. We will explore, through
photographs, how it lives, survives and dies throughout its range and how its future
may be brighter than it once was.
About the speaker
Alan was once a seaweed biologist but moved into upland ecology in the 1980s. He was
a lecturer in conservation and ecology and has been working on birds of prey in
Scotland for over 25 years. He is an adviser to the Scottish government and the various
Irish raptor reintroduction programmes, most recently completing a report on how the
golden eagle population in southern Scotland could be expanded

breeze on yer bike!
Safer cycling around tram tracks is crucial if
accidents are to be avoided. To help prepare,
TravelRight Broxtowe held training sessions on
cycling around tracks, which covered everything
from how to cross over the tracks safely to tips
on good road positioning.
The sessions were a part of Nottingham’s European Mobility Week
programme that took place throughout Broxtowe Borough
and the Nottingham urban area. At sessions held last
month.
The Mayor of Broxtowe Borough, Councillor Stan
Heptinstall attended a session to show his support and
encourage more local people to take advantage of training
on offer. After chatting to participants, the Mayor got on a
bike to join in the fun.
“I think the training was an excellent opportunity for
everyone to find out about the few simple rules we all need
to follow. It is important to know how to be safe on a
bicycle whilst still being able to have fun” said the Executive
Director of TravelRight, Gary Smerdon-White.
“I am pleased that TravelRight was able to offer this
training to the people of Broxtowe Borough and that we
helped with community safety in some way.”
Twenty two people attended the sessions which were held
in the evening and at the weekend, to be accessible for the
working population who use their bike to commute.
Jamie Swift, NET Marketing Manager, commented: “We are delighted to have supported this training as we're committed to ensuring the
safety of all road users as the tram network expands to Chilwell and Clifton. This latest initiative complements our own efforts to remind
cyclists of a few simple precautions they need to take in areas where trams operate.”
NET were a sponsor of the training and recognise the needs of cyclists, and Sustrans Ucycle assisted with the promotion.

breeze restaurant review
Looking for a great atmosphere,
good food and service that will want you
returning for more?
Then look no further than Table 8
on Wollaton Road in Beeston...
Our visit to Table 8 was nothing less than a taste
of international standards of dining right here
on our doorstep in Beeston.
Each of our guests chose a different dish so we
could sample the delights of the choice of
menu, which has been chosen carefully to
reflect both British and classic European cuisine.
Starters we opted for Mussels with garlic delicious! Also enjoyed was the pork, liver and
pistachio pate with an onion and raisin confit,
served with toast. We lapped up the sampling
and enjoyed every mouthful.
For our mains the experience continued, from
the succulent pork to the mouthwatering fish
dish, each of which left none of us disappointed.
The highlight was the Fillet Steak...
chef’s talents - a beautiful and intensely
flavourful dance of notes and balances which
delighted and left me once again expressing my
approval enthusiastically.
It’s obvious that the front of house team have
a passion for the food they handle and a
pleasing respectful manner, the friendly staff
will advise and help you chose, to make the
most of their delicious menu.
Table 8 is a gem of a restaurant and the team
deserve great success - we certainly will be
returning again and again!...
With offers on throughout the year Table 8 will
give you a first class dining experience without
breaking the bank...
“ Having enjoyed the finest steak in New York, I can honestly say
that the chef at Table 8 w ould give them a r un for their money.
It was cooked to perfection! ”
A classic choice which is a menu item that
many restaurants get wrong. Not so here! The
level of care exhibited in this deceptively
simple dish was clear to both the eye and the
palate. Having enjoyed the finest steak in New
York, I can honestly say that the chef at Table 8
would give them a run for their money. It was
cooked to perfection! Served with hand
cooked fat chips, we were fit to burst!
The desserts chosen arrived at our table,
we were once again the lucky recipients of the

Bringing in the Harvest….
As the nights take on a chill and the leaves turn a golden hue, the
tasks in the garden don’t slow just take on a different focus. It’s a
busy time harvesting the fruits and vegetables of your labour while
also thinking beyond to next year’s crops and the joys of the work
ahead.
At DIG IN COMMUNITY ALLOTMENT they will be celebrating this
time of year and all its glory with their annual Harvest event.
This will take place on Saturday 18th October at 11-3 at the
Dig in site, Albany allotments on Pasture Rd Stapleford.
It’s a free event with many activities such as pumpkin carving, apple
pressing, arts and crafts and food tasting. You can even pick up a
preserve or help to knit or crochet our beautiful community blanket
that’s taking shape.
breezemagazine 26
Kathy, a volunteer at the Garden explained…
‘Harvest is the culmination of the growing season and we like to
celebrate the hard work of all the volunteers. It’s great to share the
work we do with the local community and invite everyone to celebrate
with us. This is a fun and educational event and there is something for
all the family. Come along and see what we do, just drop in!’
DIG IN COMMUNITY ALLOTMENT is run by volunteers and is a
haven in the heart of Stapleford north. It is run by local people for
local people and is open to all. The aim is to encourage local people
to grow healthy food, bring people together and enjoy and
understand the environment around them.

Museum Offers Unique Way to Honour
Fallen World War One Soldiers
Members of the public will be able to knit a poppy on the same type of hand-powered
machine that was used to knit socks for soldiers during the Great War to honour
Nottinghamshire’s fallen soldiers. This one-off opportunity, on Saturday 11th October, is
free of charge, and is part of a wider knitting day being held at the Framework Knitters
Museum, Ruddington, for BBC Radio Nottingham’s Big Poppy Knit campaign.
The Big Poppy Knit campaign, organised by BBC Radio Nottingham as part of the World
War 1 centenary, has been created to commemorate the people who lost their lives
during WW1. They are asking members of the public knit or crochet 11,000 poppies to
mark each of the 11,000 Nottinghamshire men who fell during the war. The poppies will
then be donated to the Royal British Legion to be sold as part of the Poppy Appeal.
The knitting day, which will run from 11 am to 4 pm, is open to all ages, and both
knitters and non-knitters. The knitting machines that will be used to knit the material for
the poppies, called Circular Knitting Machines, are really easy to use so can be used by
children and those with no knitting ability. For those who can knit there will be space in
the tea room to sit and create poppies, with a variety of patterns available. It will be free
to take part in all activities. In addition to the poppy knitting all visitors will also be able to see the newly redeveloped museum
for free that day.
During World War 1 a movement was launched to provide the men at the front line with knitting clothing, especially socks.
The Country set about this task with great vigour, and many of the socks knitted would have been created on hand-turned knitting
machines, such as the Circular Knitting Machines that are now at the Framework Knitters Museum.
“The Great War saw the country pull together and provide the troops with the knitted goods that they needed,” Paul Baker, Museum
Manager, said. “Now it is our turn to knit, and help to raise as much money as we can to support our Armed Forces personnel.
We hope as many people as possible will come to the event, both knitters and non-knitters, and support this great cause”.

Greenwood Community Awards
Recognises Broxtowe
Volunteers
Three individual volunteers and groups from
Broxtowe borough were recognised with
Greenwood Community Awards.
Greenwood Partnership Board Chair, Councillor
John Knight presented the awards to
community groups and individual volunteers,
for outstanding contribution towards
improving the environment. He praised
volunteers in his welcome speech: “we would
not have the beautiful county that we have
without volunteers who work hard to keep it that way.”
Nominations had been received from groups and organisations for environmental work carried
out over the last year working towards the creation of Greenwood, Nottinghamshire’s Community Forest.
One Hundred and thirty guests enjoyed a review of achievements by volunteers and organisations presented by Colin Barson, Chair of the
Friends of Greenwood Community Forum.
Eleven awards were presented on the night to volunteers from all areas of Greenwood and included awards for individuals and teams of all
ages and abilities who take part in conservation tasks or work behind the scenes.
A highlight of the evening was the Walking for Health Award which was presented to Maureen Hayden, a member of Walk & Talk walking
group for twelve years. Colin Barson, Chair of the Friends of Greenwood Community Forum commented: “This is always a big night for
volunteers who work hard on our parks & green spaces within the Greenwood area. I never know how the event will better the previous one
and I’m always surprised and delighted.”
Friends of Bramcote Ridge and Ken Hamilton, Friends of Brinsley Headstocks also received certificates thanking them for their contribution
during 2013.

misty mornings
As we start to see shorter
days we also sense the start
of colder and damper
weather in the garden.
With some lovely warmer days over
September, autumn has now definitely
turned, and it feels colder. It's a time to start
preparing for early frosts as well using all
those dead leaves for mulch!
Why not get some broad beans started?
An early cropping broad bean called
Aquadulce Claudia has long podded, whiteseeded tasty broad beans and it’s early to
mature. It is recommended for autumn and
winter sowings throughout the U.K. for the
earliest crops the following spring and
summer.
Broad Beans - here’s how:
Prep: Sow direct into soil prepared by
digging and raking to a depth of 50mm,
spacing the seeds 15-23cm apart.
Sowing: Best sown alternately in double
rows allowing 23cm between the two lines
forming each row. Allow 60-90cm between
further rows.
breezemagazine 34
What to expect: Germination takes up to
twenty one days and that’s when you see
shoots coming up. Support on canes or
similar as they get taller by tying them with
soft garden wire.
These can also be sown in pots or trays of
compost on a windowsill or in a
greenhouse for eventual planting outside.
They grow best in a sheltered site, but not
shaded, in well drained soil. Sowing cropping is about six months after
germination.
For earliest crops sow late OctoberNovember but can be sown right through
to late January. It is advisable to pinch out
tips of plants when the first pods have set
(started to form beans) to deter blackfly.
Winter Herb Growing
Let’s take a look at something anyone can
do during winter to keep something going
in our garden or even on a balcony!
Not all herbs will grow in winter here in
the UK but some most certainly will:
Rosemary will do fine even without a cold
frame. You should be able to crop a little
from it if it’s a well-established plant, but
don’t overdo it as it’ won’t put much new
growth on unless the winter is quite mild,
but taking some of the old growth is fine.
35.ads_Layout 1 25/09/2014 16:37 Page 1
breezemagazine 35
36.gardening_Oct14_petes_Layout 1 25/09/2014 16:39 Page 1
breezegardening
(continued...) Mint and Parsley: both okay in winter, and parsley
in particular will keep growing even if it’s snows! It’s slow growth,
though, and you won’t be able to use that much of it unless you
have a lot of plants. It’s probably worth moving it into a cold frame
to encourage more growth.
Parsley self-seeds with abandon, so after a season or two you can
end up with plenty of small plants in the corners of pots so plenty
to harvest.
Sage and thyme: can survive without any protection over the
winter, but again, can have slow growth so don’t take too much
from any one plant unless the winter is unusually mild or you’ll take
away all the plant’s reserves.
These will do well in a cold frame and should grow at least a
handful of fresh leaves, in which case you should be able to keep
getting small but useful quantities of fresh herbs from them over
the winter.
Why not get a simple coldframe and try out getting more from
your garden this year? They come in handy in Autumn and also in
early spring. You could also build your own:
Basic Cold Frame
The back of the frame should be about twice as tall as the front so
the lid slopes to a favourable angle for capturing sun rays.
Build the frame tall enough to accommodate the maximum
height of the plants before they are removed.
The frame can be made of brick, block, plastic, wood, or just about
any material you have on hand. It should be built to keep drafts out
and soil in. Use the inexpensive and widely available double walled
clear plastic cell sheeting for the top.
Partially burying it takes advantage of the insulation from the
earth, but it also can cause water to collect and the direct soil
breezemagazine 36
contact will shorten the
lifespan of the wood
frame parts so treat them
first with some
preservative.
Placing your frame near
a wall, rock, or building
adds additional insulation
and protection from the
elements - and wind is
definitely one to keep
away from your plants!
Make sure your frame is South facing to capture maximum
sunshine and heat.
The ideal temperature inside is 65 to 75 degrees Fahrenheit
during the day and 55 to 65 degrees at night.
Use an inexpensive thermometer in a shaded spot inside the
frame for quick reference. Beware of overheating at certains times
of the year; a bright spring day can heat a cold frame to as warm as
100 degrees, so prop up or remove the cover as necessary.
The more you vent, the more you should water. On cold nights,
especially when frost is predicted, cover the box with old quilts, or
similar insulation to keep it warm inside - and remember to remove
it to allow daylight in the next day!
There is always a way to keep on gardening and it need not take
up much space as we have shown, neither is it expensive - you can
spend minimal amounts putting your own simple cold frame
together (some have even used upturned large clear plastic
storage boxes with holes drilled in the sides!
So why not be inventive? It’s all part of the fun of gardening and
you have virtually nothing to lose, always something to learn so as
we journey towards Winter - Enjoy!

Prepare your pets for
Fireworks Season
It’s nearly Guy Fawkes’
night, the start of a
stressful time of year
for most dogs and
cats. Every year
millions of pets are
terrified and some go
missing or damage
themselves or their
homes in fear of the
bangs and flashes of
the fireworks which
are fired off from late
October until
New Year.
However, modern science means that we now know the best ways
to help these pets to cope with the fireworks experience. The best
strategies start before the fireworks so you should seek expert help
as soon as possible to discuss the solution for your pets. It is
important to recognise that pets who are scared of fireworks will
tend to get worse every year if they are not helped through this
time.
Churchcroft Vets are experts in advising on the most effective
methods to help your pet (and on what not to do too). As head vet
George says “Each pet has specific needs so what suits one pet will
not necessarily suit another. A thorough discussion of the problem is
needed to make the best recommendations”.
Through October, Churchcroft are offering FREE fireworks fear
consultations so that your pet can get the best advice tailored
to their individual needs. To take advantage of this offer and to
help your pet through this stressful season, call Churchcroft on
0115 922 4855 and ask for a free fireworks consultation.

ARIES [March 21st-April 20th]
With emotions running high at
some point you come to terms with
one situation. Keeping in touch
becomes priority with a positive
outcome in view. One or two
obstacles may block something of
importance to you but not for long
as you soon reach those goals in
plenty of time. Family commitments
keep you more than busy
CANCER [June 22nd-July 23rd]
Strangers may not remain strangers
for long. Romantic moments take
on a high when least expected.
Making decisions could prove
difficult when you don’t wish to
hurt others. Travelling a little more
than you would have liked you help
another when times are difficult.
Careful not to overspend you
sacrifice something for another.
LIBRA [Sepr 24th-Oct 22nd]
Be careful not to burn your candle at
both ends. As you realise you can only
do so much. Listening to the right
people at what is being said saves you
from jumping to the wrong
conclusions. Mid month you make
changes with benefits, securing
something of importance to you and
those you love. Dividing time may
prove difficult
TAURUS [April 21st-May 20th]
Certain responsibilities take up
precious time but this has no effect
on either you or your family.
Learning new skills and meeting
influential people has a positive
effect all round. Welcoming
someone into your life has its
moments of tears and pleasure.
Making sure someone keeps an
appointment you may end up
telling porky’s one day.
LEO [July 24th-Aug 23rd]
Not happy with one area of your
life you swing into action making
all your hard work worthwhile.
Partners adjust to your demands
when ideas for the home come to
light. Stepping back and just letting
others have their say puts you in
good light with another.
Opportunities arrive for you to put
your best foot forward to move on.
SCORPIO [Oct 23rd-Nov 22nd]
Feeling let down soon passes when
better opportunities and loyal people
surround you. Taking nothing for
granted you change direction with
one area of your life giving one person
something to think about. Travelling
to and fro from one place to another
may tire you but worth it in the end.
Putting your trust in no one seems the
obvious.
VIRGO [Aug 24th-Sep 23rd]
Although October becomes much
busier than expected your able to
glance ahead and become aware
that certain changes taking place
around you are of a beneficial
nature. Taking time out to sort
other people’s problems puts you
in a dilemma. However one person
comes to the rescue giving you the
time needed to deal with important
matters.
SAGITTARIUS [Nov 23rd-Dec22nd]
Any exhaustion both mentally or
physically is considered when changes
are made to make life easier for you.
Under pressure its seems someone
cannot take no for an answer. Making
sure all is in order you take that wellearned break with loved ones. Putting
plans into action you make sure you
reach your goals by the end of the
month.
GEMINI [May 21st-June 21st]
Plans are put into action to have
some time alone where there is
peace and tranquillity. Second
week a meeting could well turn out
better than you had anticipated
with ideas for future gains likely.
Turning things around in the home
to suit you takes time and effort
with promises to complete one
unfinished job.
breezemagazine 42
CAPRICORN
[Dec 23rd-Jan 20th]
Feelings of isolation
soon leave after
discovering the reason for these
feelings. Taking a trip down memory
lane jogs emotions out of the blue
therefore decide to put closure on one
small chapter of your life. Discussions
are held regarding future ventures as
well as becoming more independent
from others. Social invitations come
your way.
AQUARIUS [Jan 21st-Feb 19th]
Instead of putting everyone first you
make time for yourself and those
closest to you. With no solution in
sight to one problem you decide to go
with the flow and no longer stress. Not
feeling your best first few days your
soon back on your feet organising and
making progress in what could turn
out to be a good move. A new friend
not far away.
PISCES [Feb 20th-March 20th]
No longer likely to cut your nose off to
spite your face and lose out you also
begin to realise how strong you have
become. Standing up to those who
are not honest with you are found out
and put in their place. Something new
brings pleasure with a thirst for the
best. Busy with family or friends
keeps you occupied for the rest
of the month.
