Enter the H&F Brilliant Business Awards Simple and free to enter, the prestigious Brilliant Business Awards are the highlight of the business year in Hammersmith & Fulham. They not only acknowledge business success and achievement – shortlisted and winning businesses also say they help attract customers and help you grow your business. They’ve been described by past winners as ‘an inspiration to other parts of London to recognise hard work and entrepreneurship’. The awards are open to all businesses and organisations in Hammersmith & Fulham and we’re looking for potential Oscar-winning businesses, organisations, entrepreneurs and social enterprises – and that could be you. The benefits Last year, Fort 4 Fun was named the Best New Business at the H&F Brilliant Business Awards. “It was great to get the recognition from the council for all the hard work we are doing,” said Fort 4 Fun founder, Stella Linares (pictured above, centre). “The stamp of approval from the H&F Brilliant Business awards gives you an edge on your competitors while also doing wonders for your team. “There was such a buzz around my team after we won the award. It really did lift the spirits and made them feel proud about the work they are doing every day.” The affordable after-school childcare service in Melcombe Primary School in Fulham Palace Road went from having 200 families on their books, to 500, in the space of just one year.

Children Growth Development In this topic we will be teaching what parents and carers need to know about the four key stages of development: physical, cognitive, emotional and sexual development. This will ensure they are informed about the specific changes kids will go through and how to cater to their progression. Children’s Behaviour Here, the developmental changes to children’s temperament will be taught and the different ways a parent or carer can go about dealing with the child’s behaviour. We will also advise upon the qualities a parent should possess in keeping a parenting method that allows for a healthy household where the child can feel consistency which improves bad behaviour. Parenting Stress This topic builds upon the previous topic in the way of coping with the stresses of tending to children and the ways to cope with these issues. The qualities mentioned previously will be developed with more clarity and we will explain the pros and cons between them. Health and Safety In this topic, we will be teaching the fundamentals of health and safety around children. Areas such as food preparation, danger-free environments and hygiene will be taught. Also, a demonstration about how to effectively go about these practical subjects will be performed also to further develop the understanding of parents.
