Manningham Hello and welcome to October 2014. Well we are now in the second month of spring and I think it's fair to say that with an average daily temperature of 17.6 degrees for the month of September we did not have the warm days that usually come around this time of year. We did experience some storms and lots of rain this month so you would be forgiven for thinking we were in the middle of June , let's hope October serves up some decent weather for all of us to enjoy.

Do you have a child you are considering sending to Childcare or Kinder? Parents thinking about child care will be well aware of all the decisions that need to be made along the way, making these decision's can be very difficult. Here are some suggestions as to where you might consider sending your child, Doncaster East Day Care, Cuddly Bear Child Care, Templestowe Valley Preschool, Pied Piper Child Care, Glory Land Child Care, Twin Hills Pre School, Wonga Park Community Cottage and Gum Nut Gully. They are all local and have amazing staff and facilities, all are taking bookings for 2014 and 2015.

In October why don't you take take advantage of some great special offers in Your Child in Manningham Magazine. IONIOS Modern Greek Café Restaurant has two offers at the moment 1st offer Buy One Souv get the other half price and 2nd offer 2 Pitta Pizzas for $25, La Porchetta Monday Night is Parma Night, Via Roma Café receive a free coffee with any main meal, Terra Mia is offering $10 Wood Fired Pizza or Pastas and $10 Calamari with chips or Chicken Snitczel with chips, Take away only. The Mannngham Club is offering some great deals on Xmas Parties. Vista Beauty get shellac on your nails and toes for only $50.

Also In October we celebrate Halloween. This American tradition is becoming bigger every year in Australia. My son really loves Halloween so this year we will definitely Trick or Treat. Here are some suggestions. Come to Tunstall Square Friday 31ST October 4pm – 6pm West side of Tunstall.
