www.westendermagazine.com | 21 Endmum’s West notebook by Michele Gordon thelanguagehub.co.uk Is it just me or has summer come early this year? Whatever the weather, the summer school holidays are upon us. Yes, that time of year when you wonder how you can cover all your kids time off with your two weeks annual leave. Lock them in the wardrobe for the remaining five weeks? Call in sick and hope no one will find out? Or play the lottery and hope to win on time to afford at least part-time child care. Decisions decisions! For working parents summer holidays can create serious child care problems. We are quite lucky as I can take Ruby and Leon with me to The Hub while working. However, if you don’t have child care issues the kids will drive you up the wall within a short period of time because you’ve run out of ideas about what to do with them. But there is help at hand! Although most regular children’s activities stop over the summer, there are many providers who run special summer activities to offer plenty of entertainment. There are many camps which focus on sporty things and quite a few organisations are spread across the West End so no need to travel far. Glasgow Life run a holiday activity programme during the Easter and summer school holidays each year (glasgowlife.org. uk) for 5-11 year-olds which is a mix of play, sport and arts & crafts; places for these sell fast as they are very reasonably priced. There are other organisations like Summer-In-The-City (summer-in-the-city. co.uk) for 5-16 year olds which use Jordanhill Campus as their base in the West End. Daily rates are £25 per child or £125 per child per week, or £65 per child per week for half days. The advantage here is that your child can be cared for from 8am-6pm if need be. Another popular one is Camp Indy (campindy.co.uk) based at Kelvinside Academy which is open to ages 5-14. If you have set yourself a smaller budget and are just looking for the occasional activity then look up Glasgow Life’s website again as you will find anything from indoor bounce and rhyme sessions to story book readings, arts and crafts to outdoor sports activities in various parks, all of which are free. Or alternatively, check out one of the sessions at The Hub. We run weekday activities for children and adults. Some are language immersion classes, some are arts and crafts based and others learning about different countries and cultures. This way you still have some cash left to treat yourself and the kids along the way with some yummy food for example. We like The Big Mouth Coffee cafe on Dumbarton Road (bigmouthcoffeecompany.com), they have a very reasonably priced basic children’s menu and staff are very friendly too. If they fancy more of a ‘restaurant atmosphere’, as they call it, Ruby and Leon will chose Tony Macaroni on Byres Road (tonymacaroni.co.uk). But our personal find of the year so far, which we only discovered a few weeks ago, is definitely 1010 on Radnor Street (1010glasgow.com). They serve very tasty burgers and children aged 10 or younger eat for free! This only leaves me to wish you all a great summer and lots of fun whatever you do. Einen schönen Sommer Euch allen und bis bald!
