A local mother who is part of Sutton's Council's Pop Up Scheme, which offers support and encouragement to new business start ups, is launching a new workshop to help mums negotiate the "minefield" that is childcare.
Marie-Luiza De Menezes has developed a Choosing Childcare Workshop for local parents and carers in need of clear information on choosing childcare in one practical session. "As a mum who had to get to grips with demystifying the different childcare options from pre-schools through to au pairs, I realised there is a real need to share that knowledge in a supportive environment. So as an experienced trainer I put together a session with user friendly information and practical steps to help parents get their childcare sorted." Details The course is on the 17th June at the Mid-Town Hub in Sutton from 9.30-11am. To book the course and get more information email [email protected] SUTTON DAY NURSERY OPEN DAYS! If you are looking for childcare from September why not pop along to one of our Open Days here at SDN. Simply click here to register your interest and they look forward to welcoming visitors Tuesday 14th or Monday 27th June. It was a time to swing back to the fifties and sixties for some nostalgic music and stylish outfits when the latest addition to Carshalton High Street - Dotty's Teahouse - celebrated its opening with a vintage-themed tea party recently. Party-goers enjoyed a selection of tea-time treats and Surrey-made Silent Pool Gin served in china teacups, while singers The Haywood Sisters arrived in a classic Morris Minor to entertain the guests. Owner Rebecca Mackenzie is building on the success of a pop-up tea room in Kingston. She wants to broaden her horizons in Carshalton, starting a number of arts and crafts workshops for local enthusiasts at the back of the shop: ‘My aim is to make Dotty's a real community hub, so we'll be hosting all kinds of workshops and clubs: sewing, knitting, floristry, paper craft and much more. Our motto is “tea, cake and creativity” and I hope everyone who visits us leaves feeling inspired.’ Former Mayor of Sutton, Councillor Muhammad Sadiq congratulated Rebecca and her partner Dave Jones on creating six new jobs in the village and released a bunch of balloons, each containing a surprise gift. The lucky finders of the balloons will discover an invitation hidden within to enjoy an indulgent afternoon tea for two at Dotty's – the first new teahouse in the village for many a year.
