For all other inspections (childminders, nannies and childcare on non-domestic premises and childcare on domestic premises that does not operate regularly), we give no more than five days’ notice. There's no doubt from the chapter on Woodrow Wilson and Colonel House that House did, indeed, shape Wilson and his presidency, though I'm dubious of the description as a friendship rather than a mentorship or even puppeteering. We have a programme in place which combines body movement with mindful awareness for improved physical health and mental balance. People say that our experiences shape the type of person we end up being - our character, our morals, our inner strength, etc. However, just as important, are the people we choose to surround ourselves with. Not those relationships cemented by blood, but those we choose willingly - spouses and close friends.

With that out of the way, I can say that this is a fine book as long as you don't expect too much depth or breadth beyond chatty history. This book feels more (and is more) like popular long-rad journalism than history. There's a bibliography at the end of the book, but there are no citations, and the interior references to primary sources is anemic, at best. I didn’t realize that these two were such good friends. All I ever read about was Jefferson’s relationship with Adams, and Adams’ last words: Thomas Jefferson still survives (he didn’t; he had died five hours earlier.) I was surprised to learn that Truman had a best friend. I don’t know a lot about the man, but what little I’ve read he didn’t appear to be very likable.

In “First Friends: The Powerful, Unsung (And Unelected) People Who Shaped Our Presidents” (Twelve, 416 pp., ★★★1/2 out of four),Gary Ginsberg, a journalist and one-time political operative, profiles the confidants of nine U.S. presidents – pals of pols, if you will. These influential intimates, mostly out of public view, helped their respective commanders in chief chill out, strategizeand make history.

Next inspection

We are thrilled to host Inspired Forest School sessions. This innovative approach to learning harnesses the power of the outdoor environment. During these sessions, children engage in hands-on activities, fostering a deep connection with nature while developing various skills and knowledge. Gary Ginsberg's "First Friends: The Powerful, Unsung (And Unelected) People Who Shaped Our Presidents" is a fascinating look at close friendships that have endured through, been made in, and been broken by the Oval Office. While there's an old adage that the most powerful person in D.C. after the president is that of the Chief of Staff - or perhaps even the first lady, as the real power behind the throne - this book made me think differently. Ginsberg shows us, in great detail, how close friendships - which so often allude our Commanders in Chief, the majority of whom have described that unique job as incredibly lonely - help shape domestic policy, world events, politics, and the course of history.

People of vast influence usually need one person in their life that will tell them the unvarnished truth, and can't be fired for doing so. They need that one person they can trust to not pull any punches when they screw up and need to be told so. Good or outstanding - We will inspect them at least once within a 6-year window from their last inspection.Arts and crafts,Close to parks,Computer,Enclosed outdoor play area,Equipment for all ages,Garden,Healthy eating,Kitchen,Out-door play,Outdoor play equipment,Playroom,Private changing area,Quiet area,Sensory garden,Sleeping area,TV - DVD,Village walks Cater for over 8s
