Belmont Playcare

Belfast

In the spring of 1965 a few members of Belmont church were concerned that their children, born in 1961, would not have a place in Belmont primary school in September 1965 as there were too many children for the place available, and it was felt that there was a need for a playgroup. Belmont Church was approached to see if a hall could be used for the group. All financial and other arrangements were organised by the church committee and in May 1965 Belmont Pres-School Playgroup opened its doors in Belmont Church. Belmont was the first Nippa run playgroup in Northern Ireland. UTV broadcast a programme from Belmont around 1980-81 which was hosted by Frank Carson and starred the children and staff. Funds were raised through hosting coffee mornings and it was also an opportunity to meet parent and children on a social basis. We remained at Belmont Presbyterian Church until June 2002 when we were to move to pastures new at Belmont Tower. However we were accommodated by St Mark’s Church due to awaiting completion of renovations to Belmont Tower. We spent from September 2002 to April 2004 at St Marks and moved to Belmont Tower in May 2004. In June 2006 the preschool room was awarded an accreditation by NIPPA (The Early Years Association) which was a great achievement. We spend a happy two years in Belmont Tower but when our lease finished we were grateful to St Marks for accommodating us on a temporary basis. We spent over a year in St Mark’s Heyn Hall offering a variety of indoor and outdoor play in a happy and relaxed atmosphere. In November 2008 we were filmed for the Peoples Millions with the support of the community, past pupils, staff , friends, family and our current parents, we won the £50,0000, that with our past fundraising events and the support of the Education Authority we obtained enough funds for a new build which commenced building in February 2009 and was completed 3rd April 2009. We opened our doors on the 20th April 2009 and with the opportunity of new ventures for the playcare.

Cotswold Breath And Body

My name is Jamie. I am a certified Wim Hof Method instructor and what I found in the Wim Hof Method has been and continues to be so effective for me that I became compelled to start this company and share it with as many people as possible. No dogma. No strings. No standing in a bath of ice worshiping Zorb. Find it if you want, see how you feel and what it can do for you. When I was 23 I was paralysed with a rare auto immune condition called Guillain-Barré Syndrome. Doctors said there was no cure and I should take 15 pills a day for the rest of my life. Now nearly 10 years later I am not taking any of them. I have more energy than I did 10 years ago and I am running half marathons for fun (and I always hated running!). The Wim Hof Method isn't a magic pill. I made a lot of progress in the early years on my own, eating better, exercising better, meditating, (via an app). But I reached a point where I had plateaued. My desire to be the most well I had ever been regardless of condition had reached an immovable object. That was when the Wim Hof Method came into my life and with commitment and practise it blew through my limits and changed health for the better....

Make sure all vacancies we work on are realistic and will really add value to our partner (i.e. our client). Support both the employer and the employee throughout their first 12 months together. ⭐ The Your People Partners Story In the early years of my recruitment career (backing the 1990s 🥸), I grew tired of the outdated methods most recruiters still use to find candidates. That was in the first week of my first recruitment job in Bristol, England. 🇺🇸 After being headhunted to a recruitment start-up making full use of the new-fangled world-wide-web, I moved to Chicago, USA to launch a new recruitment office. The timing wasn’t quite right though as the new office opened one day before Sep 11th 2001. Back in the UK in 2002, and after another interesting recruitment start-up experience, marriage and motherhood came knocking. Along with this came some rather challenging years with our child, who had cancer at the age of 3.

Home About School News Classes Values Clubs & Resources Calendar Our Team FAQ's For Parents Contact Us About entranceWestfield School About Us Early Years National Curriculum Adult Curriculum Policies At Westfield School we believe in creating a family atmosphere in which every member of the school community is valued in their uniqueness. Westfield School is smaller than most: there are currently just over 60 learners on roll, between the ages of 2 and 19. This number varies year on year. The school dates from the early 1970's, but the buildings and grounds have undergone considerable improvement over the years, and now feature six class bases, two sensory areas, a specialist food technology room, therapy room, multi-purpose hall and sensory garden. Other facilities such as hydrotherapy and RDA are accessed via alternative providers. Our playground is divided into four distinct areas to enable different activities to take place with no effect on young people requiring ‘quiet time’. We regard playtimes as an extension of the curriculum and different activities are offered on different days, which enables learning to continue throughout leisure activities. It is a great feeling to witness four of the ECM outcomes happening every time you look out of the window: no-one has yet managed to achieve economic well-being out there!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS * About me [https://kalandrakamusic.com/faqs/#about] * Lessons [https://kalandrakamusic.com/faqs/#lessons] * Materials [https://kalandrakamusic.com/faqs/#materials] * Studio / opening times [https://kalandrakamusic.com/faqs/#howtoget] * Payments and cancellations policy [https://kalandrakamusic.com/faqs/#policies] HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TEACHING MUSIC FOR? I’ve been teaching music for over 10 years. What instruments do you teach? I teach guitar (classical, acoustic and electric), bass, banjo, ukulele, and also DJing and music production. WHAT MUSIC STYLES DO YOU TEACH? I can teach a variety of styles (classical, pop, rock, indie, funky, reggae) and electronica (house, techno, downtempo, drum and bass), but it really depends on the students’ music taste. I would adapt the lesson accordingly. DO YOU OFFER FREE CONSULTATION? Yes, I do. In fact, I highly recommend it, so new potential students can set clear expectations and get answers to the questions they might have before enrolling in a single lesson or a block. CAN I TAKE A TRIAL LESSON BEFORE I BOOK A BLOCK OF HOURS? Yes, you can. In fact, this is what I initially suggest to new students, so they can see how they get on with the lesson, the instrument and me, too. HOW LONG DOES A LESSON LAST? A lesson normally last for one hour. DJing lessons can be longer (an hour and a half or 2 hours), and ukulele lesson for kids are usually 30 minutes long. I DON’T HAVE ANY MUSICAL BACKGROUND AT ALL. WILL I BE ABLE TO LEARN AN INSTRUMENT/DJING? Yes, you will! I have many beginner students who had never played an instrument before, and they are making big progress. CAN I LEARN MORE THAN ONE INSTRUMENT AT THE SAME TIME? Of course! It is really up to you. HOW MUCH TIME SHOULD I PRACTICE EVERY DAY? There is not really a recommended time for it. However, a minimum of 15 minutes per day would be nice to see a steady progress. DO YOU SEND HOMEWORK TO STUDENTS? Yes, I normally do, so they can practice what they were taught on the lesson. DO YOU OFFER ONLINE LESSONS? Yes, I do for each instrument and Music production, but not for DJing. DO YOU OFFER STUDENT DISCOUNT? Yes, I do. a 10% discount applies to all prices shown on the website. If you want to apply to the student discount, you will have to show proof that you are a student (i.e. a dated student ID). I SENT AN ENQUIRY, BUT I HAVEN’T RECEIVED A REPLY. WHY? I aim to reply to enquiries within 24-48 hours. Also, check your spam folder, as quite often my emails end up there. DO I NEED TO HAVE MY OWN INSTRUMENT? Although it is not essential as I have spare instruments at the studio, it is recommended to have your own instrument, so you will be able to practice from home. FOR DJING LESSONS, DO I NEED TO HAVE MY OWN CONTROLLER/ DECKS? This is the same as with instruments, it’d be good to have them at home, so you can continue practising what you have learnt in the lessons. I can also give you advise on what software you can get to DJ with you computer without using a controller (I actually started this way in my early years). WHAT EQUIPMENT DO YOU USE FOR YOUR DJ LESSONS? I use 2x Pioneer CDJ900 Nexus multi players, 2x Technics SL 1210 MK2 turntables,  a Xone 92 Mixer and 2x KRK Rokit 5 active speakers along with a subwoofer. WHERE DO THE LESSONS TAKE PLACE? They take place at my private studio located inside the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Centre (25 Palmerston Place, EH12 5AP Edinburgh [https://goo.gl/maps/dSYMfvjDPtG1Uzq59]) I WILL BE COMING TO THE LESSON BY CAR. IS IT FREE TO PARK IN THE AREA? No, it is not. It is free to park from 6:30pm from Monday to Saturday, though. There is also a street nearby (Belford R [https://goo.gl/maps/psRN3eXhAVNko7mMA]oad) where you can park from 5:30pm and throughout the day on Saturdays with no parking restrictions. CAN YOU GIVE ME LESSONS IN MY OWN HOUSE? Depending on the students’ needs, this can be occasionally arranged, but it’s not always possible due to my schedule, which can be tight at some times. An extra charge for transport will apply. Get in touch with me for consultation. [https://kalandrakamusic.com/contact/] DO YOU TEACH AT THE WEEKEND? Yes, I do. I’m open on Fridays from 5pm to 10pm and Saturdays from 10am to 3pm. I close on Sundays. DO YOU TEACH CHILDREN? Yes, I do, from all ages. Parents can come with them to the lesson and wait  inside the studio, if they wish. There is also a tea room inside the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle Centre. WHAT HAPPENS IF I CAN’T ATTEND A LESSON? If you let me know with more than 24 hours in advance, I can rearrange the lesson for another day/time. However, if the request for cancellation is less than 24 hours: – I will try to rearrange the lesson on another day/time in the same week (this is subject to both the student and my availability). This lesson will be charged as usual. – If the lesson can’t be arranged in the same week, the lesson will be charged. No exceptions are made. – Sick absences and overtime work are also included in this cancellation policy. In order to avoid cancellation, I recommend you to be realistic about your spare time and commitment to the music lessons. Some students are very keen to learn and instrument/DJing, but they just can’t find the time for it. DO THE BLOCKS OF LESSONS EXPIRE? No, they don’t. The remaining lessons will be kept until you come back from an absence (sickness, holiday, etc) I WON’T BE ABLE TO ATTEND MY REMAINING LESSONS. CAN I ASK FOR A REFUND? Unfortunately, that is not possible. However, the lessons are transferable, so somebody else can take them.  YOU HAVE PROPOSED ME A DAY AND A TIME FOR MY LESSON, BUT THIS STILL HASN’T BEEN CONFIRMED BY ME. CAN YOU HOLD MY SLOT UNTIL LAST MINUTE? I will hold a slot up to 48 hours before the lesson. After this time, I can’t guarantee the slot will be available. I currently have a waiting list for students wanting to get some specific slots (mostly at evening time), and if I haven’t received confirmation from you prior to 48 hours to the lesson, the slot will become available. WHAT PAYMENT METHODS DO YOU ACCEPT? AND WHEN DOES THE LESSON HAVE TO BE PAID? For single lessons, I accept cash and card, to be paid 24 hours prior to the day and time of the lesson. For block of lessons, bank transfer and PayPal are also acceptable, always paid 24 hours prior to the first lesson. If a lesson hasn’t been paid before this timeframe, there is no warranty the slot will be available. And if the payment hasn’t gone through at least 12 hours before the lesson, this will be automatically cancelled.  ARE THERE ANY ADDITIONAL COSTS APART FROM THE LESSON CHARGE? No, there aren’t. Prices shown on the website are fixed to the final price.
