It's been a busy year and we've enjoyed meeting and working with many new clients as well as catching up with familiar faces. This year our Christmas charities in lieu of Christmas Cards are Martin House Children's Hospice and the Children's Burns Trust - I'm sure that you will agree that these are worthy causes. Rebecca now aged 3 is very excited about Christmas this year (see left sporting the 'Santa mask' she made at nursery!). The team and I wish you a lovely break and time to catch up with friends and family over the festive season and good tidings for the year ahead.   Best wishes,   Helen and the rest of the team at Underwood Training

Top tips for Christmas:   Don't water the Christmas Tree with the lights plugged in! This has caused a number of cases of electrocution... In 2002 (the latest statistics available) 1,000 people were estimated to have visited A & E after accidents involving Christmas trees and 350 people after incidents involving Christmas lights.   Give yourself enough time to prepare and cook the dinner to avoid hot fat, boiling water and sharp knife accidents that happen when rushing. If you get burned from the fat when removing the roast from the oven - 20 minutes of running water (no less) and if there is any sign of the burn after this do seek medical advice. (See the Children's Burns Trust website first aid advice)   Have scissors and screwdriver ready so that you are not tempted to use a knife to open boxes or assemble toys   Falls are the most common cause of accidents, so try to keep the stairs clear of any obstacles.   Did you know that as Christmas novelties are not toys they do not have to comply with toy safety regulations? Be careful to keep small items away from young children to avoid a choking hazard - including cracker novelties. For a reminder of how to deal with a choking baby see The Chokeables video
