Today, I visited Rowland Hill Nursery to meet headteacher Sian McDermott & Cllr Zena Brabazon.
Lovely to be back at the nursery, which is an asset to Southgate & Wood Green. We discussed early years funding & free childcare, & the importance of support for children's centres 👶

This morning, I laid a wreath in the Garden of Remembrance in Broomfield Park for #RemembranceDay.
With wonderful performances of wartime music and poetry from local schools, it was a privilege to honour those who have served, continue to serve, and have fallen.

This week, it was inspiring to meet @anthonynolan.bsky.social volunteers and donors like Tom, who has donated stem cells 5 times! 👏
Younger donors give patients the best chance of survival, so they need more people aged 16-30 to sign-up.
