Holiday activities for Children

The Grow>Cook>Eat Programme

Easter Holiday Programme

March 29 – April 1 (4 days)

April 4 – 8 (5 days)

Saturday Club (10am – 4pm)

April 16 – May 28 (7 Saturdays)

Grow > Cook > Eat is our outdoor programme for children aged 8-11. Children are taken on a playful and inventive journey to discover food:

• how to grow it,
• how to prepare and cook some of it and
• how food affects their bodies.

The aim is to give children the knowledge that they need that will last for their lifetime.

Children are encouraged to taste new vegetables, encouraging them to eat the national guidelines’ 5-7 portions a day, as promoted by the World Health Organisation. They design rainbows on their plates, play food games and are directly involved in the lunchtime experience creating their eating environment as well as their lunch as a community group.

Activities take place in the garden where there is food growing all around the children. They can begin to see fruit and vegetables in a different light; sometimes not even recognizing familiar vegetables growing in the ground and experiencing new vegetables in an exciting way.

Each session begins at 9am and the children will go home at 5pm (earlier drop-off and pick-ups available on request)

Pick-ups can also be arranged from the Harold Hill area.

Cost for each programme is only £50, including lunch every day and safe yet stimulating childcare.

Open day on Sunday 13th March

(between 12 and 3pm)

A day for parents, children, GPs and teachers to come to the garden to hear about the Grow>Cook>Eat programme from previous participants and parents; also, to familiarise themselves with the garden and meet the staff. You will be able to see the benefits of children playing in the garden and the park and know your child will be safe and happy with us.

Pinney Talfourd invites you to a free Wills and LPA event on Friday 18 March to get your personal affairs in order.  

Over half of the population in the United Kingdom do not have a Will and this unfortunately can lead to difficulties upon death. Your assets may not pass to whom you want to inherit, leaving your loved ones in financial difficulties. It also can be time consuming and expensive to resolve. In order to ensure your affairs are in order you should prepare a Will. 

According to research over 850,000 people in the United Kingdom have Dementia with this figure estimated to rise to 1 million in 2025. Dementia can lead to your loved one being unable to make their own decisions regarding their financial affairs. By setting up a Lasting Power of Attorney now you are able to nominate a person (your Attorney) to make decisions on your behalf in the future if you become unable to. This enables your Attorney to ensure that your affairs are looked after and minimises an already stressful period for your family. 

Join our free event to hear a short presentation about the different types of Will and LPA, and get some free tailored advice from one of our solicitors over a coffee afterwards. 

Date: Friday 18th March

Time: 11am – 12.30pm

Venue: Pinney Talfourd LLP Solicitors, 54 Station Road, Upminster, Essex, RM14 2TU 

For more information and to book your free place please contact Charlotte Butler on 07904 390829 or marketing@pinneytalfourd.co.uk
