My husband is severely asthmatic and finds it is ok particularly now the humidity has dropped. Bring enough inhalers to keep you going for a while and take them with you when you find a doctor, my husband used the family practitioner listed by our insurance company.

Had to laugh kareena my DD is in the same year, maybe same class, she too was singing "Head, shoulders,knees and toes" in Mandarin a week after she started and her ability to sit and do colouring and 'read' books on her own has surpassed my expectations.

My 14yo and 4yo started there this term.

I was in the UK during the application process and found them prompt and pro active with all correspondence. The children are happy and that is what is important. I have met the head on several occasions and was impressed with his approach.

I swear by my GHDs, I got mine through their website when I was in the UK might be worth seeing if they would ship over here. I haven't seen the wide plated ones that I have here.
