Hello<br />
Welcome to our family<br />
Welcome to the <strong>November</strong> issue of <strong>Parenta</strong> <strong>magazine</strong>!<br />
We’re delighted to introduce this month’s jam-packed edition, which includes a diverse range of articles written by our<br />
esteemed professionals in the early years industry. From superpowers to safety and from multisensory to mathematics, we<br />
have it covered!<br />
International sensory expert Jo Grace continues with her popular series and questions whether you really do need a<br />
sensory room, nutrition guru Louise Mercieca concludes her article exploring whether vegan diets can support early years<br />
development, Dr Kathryn Peckham helps us to manage emotions without losing our cool and Lee Connelly continues his<br />
gardening adventures!<br />
Safeguarding Consultant Yvonne Sinclair takes us through the updated version of Keeping Children Safe in Education, Frances<br />
Turnbull shows us how to be creative with balloon painting, and Gina Bale teaches us how to tap into our creative selves! We<br />
also have a new expert on board - Jonathan Newport – his valuable advice helps us engage with families around children’s<br />
behaviour.<br />
Don’t miss out on our free webinar this month, as we focus on, ‘Financial Solutions for Early Years Settings’. Join fellow<br />
educators as we uncover some of the ingenious strategies and innovations that are allowing us to not only make ends meet<br />
but also to stretch our resources further and ensure the lasting success of our businesses.<br />
