threeleftfeet Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Sorry for the trivial nature of this post but I'm wondering if anyone with a dc at Birmingham associates can answer a few quick questions? I've tried calling elmhurst and left messages but no response. Do parents wait for their children (if they've travelled a long way to get there) in the first weeks or just leave them to it? If they stay, is there somewhere to wait (also with younger siblings..)? We still haven't been invoiced for the autumn term, has anyone else? I'm now worried our contract acceptance has gone amiss! Do they have elastics or ribbons? Do they have buns or plaits? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grumpybearzuk Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Hi twiglet I normally stay and wait for my dd as it's a travel there, there are seats to wait and I recommend taking something to read and a flask of coffee! most of them have elastics and buns , hope that helps we haven't had our bill yet either so don't worry I am sure we will get it soon xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon2 Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Lots of parents seem to sit around the reception area. Cannon Hill park, the Nature Centre and Midlands Art Centre are within minutes walking distance if you need a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan McNulty Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Once DC are settled in and you feel confident about leaving them there is lots to do in Birmingham city centre. The Museum and Art Gallery behind the Town Hall has a splendid collection of Pre-Raphs. The cafe is also good. I haven't been to the newly re-opened Central Library yet (near Symphony Hall) but it looks fabulous. You can get onto the canal network by Symphony Hall, or by the Mail Box and have a lovely wander. The Bull Ring shopping centre. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
