Whilst East Dunbartonshire Council is able to provide a notice board service for the placing of private listings, it must be stressed that it is the responsibility of the individual to satisfy themselves as to the suitability of the services being accessed. It is for the individual to ensure that appropriate standards are met. Where children are involved, the parent or guardian must consider child protection issues where children may be in classes, clubs, events or having individual or group tuition. It is for the parent or guardian to ensure the child’s safety by checking that any parties offering services have had the appropriate background and criminal record checks and are suitably qualified.
For the avoidance of doubt East Dunbartonshire Council do not investigate the backgrounds of those who place listings or verify the validity of the contents of the listings. Consequently, the Council does not endorse any service or activity being offered privately or the parties offering them. The aim of East Dunbartonshire Council in facilitating the placement of private listings is to create awareness only for customers and is not a guarantee as to the quality or suitability of what is being publicised.

Pre-school Music classes run by a trained Colourstrings
specialist. Merry Melodies offers a fun introduction to music
for pre-school children. Based on the sound principles of Kodaly,
it uses an interactive approach combining songs, games, action
rhymes, puppets, movement and percussion instruments.
Research has shown that children who experience music from a very
young age make above average progress in their intellectual and
emotional development. But most of all it is tremendous fun -
for children and their parents! In the early years we start
this process by relaxing and singing together using tactile songs
and games to help create a feel for pulse, while older children
start to develop a good sense of pulse, rhythm and pitch.
It is run by Helen Griggs, a trained Colourstrings
specialist, who first became involved through her own children's
enjoyment of Colourstrings. She runs her own classes as well
as providing specialist teaching in nurseries and play groups.
