11+ Tuition For children in Years 4 & 5
Welcome to the March-April issue of Families Birmingham, Solihull and Sutton Coldfield magazine. Spring is such a wonderful time of year, a time of rebirth and renewal, a chance to start afresh as the best version of ourselves. Take a look at the Healthier Living article written by Lesha Woodstock of Juice Plus, on page 8, about the importance of boosting our natural immunity and keeping active. After all, our family’s health is our family’s wealth. Also, I’m delighted to introduce the young ‘Green-Fingered George’ who gives tips about getting our little ones out in the garden having fun.
