Kensington Mums reviews

About Hand Picked Hotels

Hand Picked Hotels was founded in 2001 by owner, Chairman and CEO, Julia Hands MBE.  Julia’s love of historical buildings, the English countryside, local food, and good wine inspired her dream to own a collection of hotels that would celebrate these passions, and invite others to share in them.   It was important to Julia from the outset that guests could feel at home at Hand Picked, whether it was for a romantic escape, a corporate retreat, a magical wedding celebration or a chance to simply enjoy some rest and relaxation.

Hand selecting unique properties from Scotland to The Channel Islands, and overseeing the re-development and interior design of each one, Julia has created a group that comprises 21 distinctive hotels, each offering an abundance of character and charm in locations inviting plenty to see, do and explore. Whilst each hotel within the family-owned hotel group is individual, consistency of service runs central to the brand’s DNA, so guests can expect a personalised service delivered with genuine warmth and a welcoming smile to exude the Hand Picked values of family, community, initiative and individuality.

Enjoy quality family time during the school holidays at one of Hand Picked Hotels’ stunning country retreats

Fawsley Hall Hotel and Spa

Enjoy quality family time during the school holidays at one of Hand Picked Hotels’ stunning country retreats. Steeped in tradition and history, Fawsley Hall Hotel & Spa in Northamptonshire is a beautiful country house hotel surrounded by formal gardens and parkland landscaped by Capability Brown in the 1760s. It was a home built for entertaining: Henry VIII, Elizabeth I and other monarchs all enjoyed its fine hospitality, and that tradition continues to this day. You feel this the moment you enter the Hotel.

Needless to say the hotel has been awarded 4 AA red stars and 2 Rosettes for its Cedar Restaurant, which offers a host of treats, not least of which is afternoon tea, a much loved tradition within our walls. Silverstone is only 25 minutes from Fawsley Hall and offers so many family events and activities to create the most memorable family staycation.

Kensington Mums got to review Fawsley Hotel and Spa with 2 adults and 2 children. Its hidden gem within Northamptonshire’s rolling countryside, makes it a great escape from London and Kensington. Those with dogs don’t need to leave this beloved member of the family at home, as each of Hand Picked Hotels’ country retreats is dog friendly. After a day of adventure as a family, dogs are welcome to relax with their families in the hotels’ lounges, bars and restaurants, just as they would at home.

A hidden gem within Northamptonshire’s rolling countryside.

Mathnasium

At Mathnasium, we believe that every child has the ability to be successful in maths.

It’s a matter of teaching it the way that makes sense to them. When maths makes sense, children leap ahead – whether they started out far behind or already ahead in maths.

Mathnasium offers the finest mathematics instruction worldwide. We utilise a time-tested approach that provides initial and ongoing Assessments, customised Learning Plans, personalised instruction and guided practice to build each student’s maths understanding and skills.

Today, Mathnasium is a global community – teaching children maths in a way that makes sense to them, in more than 1,100 centres worldwide.

As students gain a greater understanding of maths, they become excited about the subject. Excitement leads to passion and passion leads to growth. At Mathnasium, we have helped tens of thousands of children grow to not only understand maths but to love it as well.

We look forward to working with you and helping to build a successful future for your child.

Our Maths-Only Learning Centre Teaches Children to Understand and Master Maths:

  • Expert maths instructors for primary and secondary schoolchildren
  • Proven results based on 30+ years of research and testing
  • Face-to-face tutoring using personalised learning plans
  • Preparation for Maths 11+ and GCSE
  • Improvement in school marks

What Is Mathnasium?

  • The biggest maths-only experts, with over 1,100 centres globally
  • Expert tuition for Year 1 through to GCSE
  • Assessments to identify any learning gaps
  • Providing personalised Learning Plans to build skills and confidence
  • Promotes critical thinking and teaches problem-solving
  • Homework help to support your child’s learning in school
  • Entrance exam, 11+ test prep and GCSE support

Mathnasium

The Mathnasium Method™

“Children don’t hate maths. What they hate is being confused, intimidated and embarrassed by maths. With understanding comes passion, and with passion comes growth – a treasure is unlocked.” – Larry Martinek, creator of the Mathnasium Method

Assessments

We meet students where they are and take them where they need to go. All Mathnasium students start by taking a customised assessment which pinpoints their learning needs. Mathnasium’s unique assessment process determines (with great accuracy) exactly what each child knows and what they need to learn.

Customised Learning Plan

The Learning Plan identifies the maths concepts to meet the specific learning goals for your child. We then design a customised Learning Plan for teaching the concepts your child needs to master. We build maths knowledge upon what they already know – this helps students learn quickly and boosts their confidence right away. We use a combination of proprietary materials and instruction techniques to ensure your child masters these concepts.

Specially Trained, Caring People Who Teach

We know how to teach your child maths. Mathnasium’s specially trained Instructors implement the Learning Plan and work with each student to ensure they master the material. We want to be there when the learning happens – all teaching takes place during the Mathnasium session and we don’t assign homework. Our maths Instructors foster a caring, encouraging environment that helps students thrive and learn.

We will help your child overcome homework frustration. We help children understand the homework assignment so they feel better prepared to complete the work at home – underscoring their understanding of concepts and transforming homework frustration into a welcome challenge.

The results are transformative – families will see measurable changes in attitude, confidence and school progress.

Why Mathnasium?

For a child’s overall pattern of maths education, where does Mathnasium fit in? Schools are the primary education provider; Mathnasium is a supplemental education provider. The distinction is that the primary provider issues grades, whereas Mathnasium does not. We affect their grades in a positive way, and our role is to supplement what kids are learning in school.

As a supplemental education provider, Mathnasium is structured as a Learning Centre rather than a tutorial service. A tutor’s job is to help a student get through tonight’s homework and Friday’s test. Mathnasium does provide support in terms of homework and upcoming tests, however, our primary role as a learning centre is to delve into the reasons why tonight’s homework is such a huge issue.

Knowledge Gaps

Usually, the reasons are a series of knowledge gaps that students have incurred over the years. Nearly every student we assess has some gaps. They can be anywhere from six months to several years behind.

Long Term Success

As a Learning Centre, our role at Mathnasium is strategic: a long-term proposition. Our job is to ferret out those gaps and then supplement students’ education by filling in those gaps over time. This is why our assessment process is so important; it helps us pinpoint these gaps and provides us with a foundation on which we build the student’s program at Mathnasium.

It’s important to keep this long-term objective in mind. If we just worked on tonight’s homework, we might get through it and help them come up with the answers, but we wouldn’t be teaching these kids anything in the long run. There is a distinction between a tutoring service and our role as a Learning Centre. We are not here to parallel exactly what’s going on in school. We are here to supplement it.

MathnasiumAt its very core, Mathnasium’s mission is to offer a lasting solution to kids’ math problems. This is the place where kids come to solve their problems in maths. It’s when we function as a learning centre that we get a remarkable increase in student performance. Mathnasium provides excellent instruction and a premier teaching method.

Bringing Learning to Life with Eaton Square Senior School

Eaton Square

Sponsored content

Stepping into Eaton Square Senior School, one feels the nostalgia of this beautiful building in its prime Mayfair location.

It is not difficult to imagine Evelyn Waugh or Ian Fleming penning one of their novels in any of the Grade 1 listed grandiose rooms. Indeed, it is the perfect environment to inspire creativity and a lifelong love of learning, providing our teachers and students with a base to use London, with its museums, galleries and theatres within walking distance, as our canvas.

Eaton Square Senior School is an independent co-educational senior school on Piccadilly in Central London. Green Park is on our doorstep and is used daily for lunchtime breaks, curricular and extracurricular activities.

Eaton SquareThe school building itself is a beautiful grade I-listed townhouse with specialist classrooms for art, science and drama and a purpose-built canteen with onsite catering. The building was once home to Lord Coventry and later the St. James’s Club, one of the most famous members being Ian Fleming who resided there throughout the duration of the war. It’s a truly inspirational place to be, particularly for students who are interested in neoclassical art and history.

Near to Green Park tube station, our access to world-class museums and galleries is incomparable, the Royal Academy is just up the road from us. Unlike other schools, trips do not cost a day’s worth of learning, a cultural and informative visit is easily achievable in a morning or an afternoon.

In the past we have had trips to the British Museum, the National Gallery, as well as the Natural History Museum and a cruise along the river Thames, to name a few! With many more planned for the duration of the academic year. Most national galleries and museums host several exhibitions a year, so there really is an abundance of choice and a lot for our students to experience.

Eaton SquareWe ensure students get the most out of experiential learning on trips by asking the right questions to guide reflective conversations. We set our students up to think for themselves by teaching them how to consume, question and analyse their surroundings. These are skillsets that can be used in any situation in their lives going forward.

We have dedicated and passionate teachers who encourage experiential learning and the use of the unique opportunities London has to offer.

Come and hear all about how we make the most of our very special Central London location at our next Open Event on Saturday the 23rd of September at 9.30 am, taking place at Eaton Square Senior School, 106 Piccadilly, London W1J 7NL.

We will also have two additional open events during the Autumn Term 2023 for our Senior School and Sixth Form (Located at 79 Eccleston Square, London SW1V 1PP), delivered to those who are unable to attend our event in September.

Best Singaporean restaurant

Kensington Mums reviews*

The Bugis Singapore Restaurant and Bailey’s Bar in South Kensington

The Bugis celebrates authentic Singaporean, Malaysian and Chinese cuisines made from locally sourced, seasonal ingredients. It takes its name ‘The Bugis’ from the bustling area in Singapore renowned for its flair of street food and flavours. We had also previously visited the restaurant in High Street part of the Millennium Hotel. You can watch our video reel as a review and we couldn’t wait to come again for the best Singaporean restaurant in Kensington. The Bugis Singapore Restaurant has received numerous accolades and awards as one of London’s best Asian restaurants.

The Bugis Singapore Restaurant features a brand-new culinary approach with small and sharing plates. The cuisine deeply rooted in the Malay peninsula, Singapore street food and hawkers’ heritage.

Best Singaporean restaurant in Kensington!

About Bugis

The Bugis originally opened in 1995 on the corner street, when it received numerous accolades and awards as one of London’s best Asian restaurants. Since then, it has relocated inside The Bailey’s Hotel, and has undergone a full renovation featuring a sumptuous yet modern interior and an upscale Bailey’s Bar with an enticing cocktail menu inspired by Lord Bailey’s journey in the Far East. The place is to become one of the most exciting drinking and social experiences in Kensington.

What to expect

Sit back and experience delicious authentic Singaporean, Malaysian and Chinese food with a modern twist in the heart of London. Considered to be one of London’s best Asian restaurants, Bugis Street encompasses a relaxed ambiance with fabulous international cuisine. The staff are very friendly and can explain what’s on the menu. We had a selection of starters and sharing main courses. For starters we highly recommend the sesame prawn on toast and aromatic crispy duck. They also offer a sharing platter which combines the spring rolls, spare ribs, sesame prawn on toast and chicken satay. This is a great for a family to share. As for mains, we had some of the Bugis signature dishes such as the Singapore Laksa, its seriously the best in town! Nasi Goreng also a speciality from the region. For a lighter lunch or dinner, I would opt for the steamed filet sea bass which was deliciously light with ginger and spring onion. You can view the menu here.

In case you still have space for more, do try their desert options too of banana fritters and ice cream. The kids loved it!

Work-Life Balance Made Easy: Discover TutorSitting™

Are you a busy parent searching for a healthy work-life balance? You’re not alone. Studies reveal that more than half (56%) of working parents with children under 18 find it challenging to strike a balance between their career and family responsibilities.

This trend is cause for concern. In our contemporary lifestyles, the once extensive support network provided by family and friends is steadily shrinking. Consequently, families are increasingly turning to professional services to help manage household affairs and their children’s education. These services encompass a wide range, from tutors and mentors to coaches, babysitters, and nannies. The list is extensive, as are the challenges in locating suitable individuals to fill these roles. We firmly believe that being a parent should not entail sacrificing your free time, nor should the demands of busy parents compromise a child’s education.

Is there a solution? A means to seamlessly amalgamate these roles into one dependable individual who can ensure that while you enjoy some well-deserved “me-time,” your children continue to make progress in school?

Introducing TutorSitting™: A New Solution

As experienced tutors, we recognised that we were partially addressing this need. However, due to the limited human attention span, tutoring sessions typically lasted no more than two hours. Consequently, parents could only enjoy a brief respite at best. It soon became apparent that to genuinely meet the requirements of modern families, we needed to redefine the role of the conventional tutor. This realisation marked the birth of TutorSitting™.

TutorSitting™ represents a groundbreaking service that uniquely combines the exclusive advantages of tutoring with the convenience of babysitting, resulting in a bespoke experience. This ensures that you can enjoy regular, well-deserved breaks while having peace of mind that your child is in capable hands. Our tutors exclusively originate from London’s top five universities, guaranteeing their high qualifications and eagerness to share their hard-earned knowledge.

Our Commitment to Families and University Students

What distinguishes us from other tutoring companies is our unwavering commitment to both families and the university students we bring together. We assist parents in striking a balance between their professional and personal lives while delivering top-notch education to children. Simultaneously, we offer university students opportunities for fulfilling employment.

Our dedication revolves around providing high-quality education services that pave the way for your child’s academic success and cultivate a genuine passion for comprehending the world. Our approach is built on three fundamental principles: Exceptional Tutors, Lifelong Curiosity, and Empowerment.

Work-Life Balance Made Easy: Discover TutorSitting™

Our commitment commences with our carefully selected tutors, all exclusively sourced from London’s top five universities. In addition to their profound subject knowledge, our tutors may also serve as role models, inspiring students to strive for academic excellence.

Our tutoring sessions extend beyond addressing immediate academic concerns. Through our tutors’ guidance, students develop critical thinking skills and a deep-seated curiosity about the world, laying the groundwork for lifelong learning.

We empower students to take ownership of their learning journey, viewing education as a collaborative process in which students actively engage with the material. This approach transforms education into a voyage of discovery rather than mere rote memorisation.

How it All Started

We established Bright Education Group when we were both master’s students at Imperial College London. As immigrants newly arrived in London, we had to work long hours alongside our studies to make ends meet.

With a strong passion for teaching and prior tutoring experience in our home countries, we were eager to share our hard-earned knowledge with students who could benefit from it. Getting started was exceedingly challenging, taking several months to grasp the intricacies of connecting with students and their families and promoting our services. However, once we gained momentum, demand surged, primarily driven by referrals and word of mouth.

Eventually, we accumulated over three thousand hours between the two of us and found ourselves physically unable to cope with the demand. This realisation prompted us to extend our reach by hiring and training fellow university students and connecting them with families seeking tuition for their children. Thus, the Bright Education Group was born, and we have been assisting families and university students ever since.

Take Action: Find Your Perfect TutorSitter™

We recognise that the current education system does not suit the majority of students. Incremental improvements cannot remedy a fundamentally flawed system. Humans possess an inherent curiosity, which has been one of our most valuable assets as a species. However, many modern minds do not align with the current school system, which primarily involves providing answers to questions students have never asked.

So, if you are seeking to strike a balance between your work and personal life while ensuring your children receive a meaningful education, simply visit www.brighteducationgroup.co.uk to discover your perfect tutor. With the new school year new well under way, we anticipate strong demand, so book your session today and let us help you attain the work-life balance you deserve.

Family Time: Creating Custom Photo Displays Together

photo display

Whether they’re snapshots from an unforgettable family trip or just selfies you took goofing around on a rainy weekend at home, photos are central to our lives: they’re memories preserved. So why let them gather digital dust on your computer or phone storage?

Get the kids involved, and with a bit of creative spirit, you can embark on a delightful journey to turn those special photo memories into prints that you can touch and cherish every day. From custom photo books to canvas prints, there are tons of great ideas for bringing your memories to life.

Ready to dive into a world of creativity, bonding, and fun? Let’s get started!

Gathering Memories: A Family Affair

Choosing the Photos

Gather the family together and you can start selecting those special photos as a team. Whether it’s one of you making a funny face on the last summer holiday or a tender moment from a wedding, each picture tells a story. Let everyone pick their favourites!

Organising the Collection

Once you’ve chosen the photos, organise them by theme, date, or event. It’s the perfect chance to reminisce about the memories behind each picture!

Once you’ve selected the photos that absolutely deserve a new life in print, it’s time to explore the best print formats for the job.

Creating Custom Photo Books – A Treasure Trove

Selecting the Theme

Photo books are like storybooks of your life. Decide on a theme, such as “Family Holidays” or “Baby’s First Year”, and let the kids weigh in – their ideas might impress you!

Depending on your project’s theme, you might also want to include some photos of little mementos you’ve kept from the time in question. For instance, if you’re crafting a travel photo book to commemorate your last family getaway, you can include tickets, maps, or other items that create a sense of place.

Designing the Layout

To make the most of a photo book, you’ll need professional printing services. Quality providers will offer a wide range of photo book templates that you can fully personalise.

As well as choosing the photos for each page, you can add clip art and other decorative touches as well as your own captions – making a beautiful keepsake filled with memories that you’ll treasure for years to come.

Printing

You’ll need to make a couple more choices for your book format, such as the binding options: ring-bound and lay-flat options are always popular.

Some providers offer a choice of printing techniques too. High-definition digital printing will make every smile sparkle and every sunset glow, but if you’re feeling extra luxurious, real photo paper adds that irresistible, tactile richness that turns flipping through your photo book into a sensory experience.

Crafting Gallery Walls – A Work of Heart

You can add a personal touch to your home with custom wall art made using your own photos. Whether it’s your baby’s first steps or a breathtaking sunset from your last family holiday, turning precious photo memories into one-of-a-kind wall prints is simpler than ever!

Planning the Layout

A gallery wall is a beautiful way to display a collection of photos. Sketch out the arrangement on paper first or use masking tape on the wall to visualise the layout.

Choosing Print Formats

A neat collection of same-sized framed photos is a classic…but eclectic gallery walls made up of various print formats are even more fun! Pick formats that complement each other as well as your home’s decor. Mix and match sizes and styles for a unique look. And let the little ones help; their creative input can make all the difference!

Hanging the Prints

This part might require some teamwork. Measure, level, and hang the photos together as a family. And then celebrate with a collective high-five once the gallery wall’s complete!

DIY Photo Displays: Creativity Unleashed

Looking for more creative ways to showcase your family’s memories? Here are some additional DIY projects that will make your photos pop!

Creating Photo Clips

With some clothes pegs, a length of string, and a bit of creativity, you can make a charming photo clip display. It’s a simple and fun project that even the youngest family members can join in with.

Designing Shadow Boxes

Shadow boxes let you include mementos with your photos. Whether you use seashells from a beach trip or ticket stubs from a concert, these 3D displays are a joy to create. The shadow boxes themselves can be purchased at the shops – what you fill them with is entirely up to you!

Illuminated Photo Display

Take your photo clip chain to a whole new level! Just grab some fairy lights and clip your favourite family pics onto them. What’s awesome is that you can easily change the pics later, matching the seasons, holidays, or special family events.

Memories Made Together
