The new school year will be with us in a flash – and to help you feel fully prepared while the kids burn off some energy, we’re putting on our British Mums Back to School Playdate on Thursday 22nd August at Ready Set Go from 9am – 11am.

Entry will be FREE for British Mums’ members and the kids can use the slides and soft play facilities for the morning while you sit and have a natter with friends. Ready Set Go is perfect for children up to the age of 12 years. Kids who are 90cm and above can go in the main play area, while those smaller than 90cm get access to the toddler section. If you need your caffeine and cake fix, there’s a great selection to buy at the café.

We’ll have some fabulous partners joining us to share their expertise: Salon 971 will be there to teach us all there is to know about back-to-school braids. Yufeed will banish mealtime meltdowns with tips and tricks to get kids excited about healthy food. Dr Joy Dental Clinic will be there to talk about healthy teeth and gums and offering free advice and checks before the school year begins. Plus the team from Mediclinic Middle East will be talking about vaccinations and how to stay healthy as we return to the classroom.

Exclusive Links are available to help you navigate the property market and answer any questions about rising rents and Epson will be in attendance to talk printer needs, new technology and cartridge-free printing.
