New analysis shows there has been a fall of just under thirty five percent in the number of children taking modern foreign languages at GCSE. Between 2004 and 2024, entries dropped from 533,000 to 347,000.
Yet YouGov data newly analysed by Wycliffe College in Gloucestershire shows that seventy six percent of parents believe languages are important for their child’s education. This mismatch means families may need to take a more active role in encouraging bilingualism at home, especially as opportunities in school become more limited.
Languages are closely linked to cultural confidence, resilience, communication skills and even improved academic outcomes, areas of development which parents clearly care about. With school provision shrinking, many families are looking for simple, realistic ways to build language skills outside the classroom. Here are five ways parents can inspire a love of languages at home:
Make languages part of everyday life. Try using basic greetings or phrases at home to normalise multilingual communication.
Explore other cultures together. Watch foreign-language films, read translated books or cook dishes from different countries to build curiosity.
Highlight the real-world benefits. Talk about careers where languages are an advantage, from business to tourism, diplomacy to the creative industries.
Celebrate progress, not perfection. Encourage children to see language learning as a journey and praise small achievements. Connect learning to travel. If possible, link new vocabulary to holidays or school trips abroad to show the practical value of speaking another language.
Parents are clearly strongly in favour of modern foreign languages, recognising that these can open the doors to future careers, cultural understanding and the ability to communicate confidently in an increasingly interconnected world. They can play a huge role in engaging their children with languages and framing language learning as a life skill, rather than a school subject.
The Roche School is a warm and welcoming family-owned school in south west London. Whilst it is a mainstream English-speaking school that prepares pupils for their 11+ common entrance exam in English in the usual way, the school’s additional focus on Spanish language enriches the learning experience of every child and is a natural extension for this multicultural school.
Families can choose weekly Spanish lessons, teaching essential phrases and vocabulary on topics like family and food; for those seeking a more immersive experience, the school offers Spanish afternoons during which children explore art, sport, science, history and geography through Spanish teaching. In addition to opening up cultural, study and employment opportunities, this dual language teaching approach has even been shown to stimulate pupil skills in English.
In 2025, the Spanish Embassy’s education advisor, María Luisa Martínez, said: ‘The Roche School stands out as a remarkable institution.’ Meanwhile University College London researchers have been studying the impact of bilingual learning on the school’s pupils.

Do you speak another language?
If you speak another language yourself, why not embrace this skill? Children soak up a new language best between the ages of 0 and 3 so think about joining a bilingual play group - if your second language is a bit rusty, you can brush up on your own skills at the same time. You can also read books to your child in another language too.
If you don’t speak another language, once your child is at school, why not try learning one at the same time as your child? There’s nothing like leading by example!
By Genevieve Mackenzie
In the heart of Wimbledon, a quiet revolution in early years education is taking place. Rooted in Scandinavian values and shaped by a deep respect for childhood, the bilingual EnglishNorwegian kindergarten offers something both distinctive and wonderfully simple: time, nature and language woven seamlessly into everyday life.
Families do not need a connection to Norway to appreciate the richness of a bilingual start. Research consistently shows that early exposure to a second language strengthens cognitive flexibility, problem-solving skills and communication confidence. More than vocabulary, children develop sharper listening skills, empathy and an intuitive understanding that the world is bigger than one perspective.
At the Norwegian Kindergarten, Norwegian and English flow naturally through play, songs, storytelling and daily routines. Children absorb language joyfully and without pressure, gaining the lifelong
advantage of being comfortable with linguistic diversity.
The Kindergarten’s approach is inspired by the Scandinavian curriculum, which places equal value on wellbeing and learning. Childhood is not rushed. Instead, curiosity, independence and collaboration are nurtured through meaningful, play-based experiences. There is a strong emphasis on emotional literacy, democratic values and respect for others - foundations that prepare children not only for school but for life.
Integral to this philosophy is a commitment to outdoor learning. Whatever the season, children spend generous time outside, exploring woodland spaces, climbing, building, observing and imagining. Nature is not an occasional backdrop but an essential classroom. Outdoor play builds resilience, risk assessment skills and physical confidence, while fostering a deep connection to the environment.
For Wimbledon families seeking something beyond the conventional, this kindergarten offers a warm, community-centred alternative where children grow up bilingual not because they must but because they can. They leave the Norwegian Kindergarten curious, capable and confident - grounded in nature, enriched by language and ready to step into an increasingly interconnected world.

My two younger children are five and ten. I think a lot about what their twenties might look like. About what kind of life and world might be waiting for them. And you know what? I can’t see it. I cannot picture it.
I - like you - was raised with a certainty about the future. I knew that if I followed certain pathways there would be a structure on the other side. A place to step into. A way to earn a living. To participate. To contribute. To belong.
But artificial intelligence is rewriting the rules of work as we know it. Entire industries are being reshaped. Traditional employment is starting to erode. Even the very idea of employment is starting to be questioned.
The things we were taught to aim forjob security, linear careers, predictable professional paths - are all going to reduce and in many cases vanish. And yet… we’re still preparing children as if nothing is changing.
So, what can parents do to prepare children for this new world of AI?
Where is AI at?
Until recently, most AI tools have been like clever assistants. You give them a task, they give you a result. You ask them things and prompt them. You’re still in the driver’s seat, deciding what to do, when to do it and how to interpret the outcome.
These systems can:
Write high-performing marketing copy, faster and more competently than most humans.
Draft and revise contracts, legal filings, and financial reports.
Summarise dense research papers and explain them so a child can understand them.
Generate original art, design branding assets, and build entire websites from scratch.
Analyse bloodwork, interpret scans, and draft medical notes.
Respond to customer service requests with human-sounding nuance and empathy.
Plan, publish, and optimise full-scale advertising campaigns.
By Issy Butson
Create original music, video, essays, lesson plans, even emotional support scripts for therapy bots.
But now AI agents have arrived. An agent isn’t designed to just complete a single task but to be given a goal, and then to figure out how to complete it. It’s designed to make decisions. To take multiple steps. To work through thinking processes by itself. To find and utilise whatever tools it needs, often in ways you don’t expect, to execute that goal.
Goals like:
‘Build a website that sells eco-friendly dog toys.’ All by itself, an AI agent will write the code, design the branding, set up a Shopify store, generate the product descriptions and write a launch campaign, using tools like Figma, Stripe, Zapier and Canva.
Or:
‘Summarise this 200-page court case and highlight relevant precedent for a new brief.’ An AI agent can now scan legal databases, extract precedent, highlight key decisions and flag contradictory rulings - tasks that would usually take a junior associate or paralegal hours or days.
So these autonomous software agents act like an intern, a marketer, a coder, designer, analyst, researcher, legal assistant, accountant, medical scribe, HR coordinator, project manager - the list could go on and on. And they’re getting faster. More accurate. And more capable.
Once you give a machine a goal eg ‘launch this product’ or ‘write this code’ and it can achieve it without you, you just don’t need a person in that chair anymore. And where you needed ten people, maybe now you just need one or two.
In ten years’ time…
So is it really that hard to imagine that in ten years AI agents will be monitoring patient health in real time and adjusting treatment plans without a doctor’s input? Running entire logistics networks from port to doorstep without human dispatch? Optimising energy usage across cities without a team of engineers?
Then there’s the even more tangible shift to robotics - machines that don’t just think but physically act. Stocking shelves, preparing food, delivering parcels, cleaning buildings, assisting in surgeries, caring for the elderly, building homes. Machines that don’t get tired, don’t need wages and don’t stop for lunch. It’s hard to imagine a single sector that won’t be reshaped by it.
Right now, in Amazon’s fully AI automated warehouses, robotic arms pick, sort, pack goods and optimise routes in real-time.
In fast food chains across the US and Asia, robotic systems are flipping burgers and serving customers in live, daily operations.
In hospitals, robotic assistants are transporting supplies, prepping
surgical tools, and even performing ultra-precise micro-surgeries under the direction of human surgeons.
In aged care facilities, robots are helping residents dress, take medication, and reducing loneliness through social interaction.
Las year, Microsoft laid off six thousand people, three percent of its global workforce: its CEO has said that thirty percent of the company’s code is now written by AI. IBM has replaced hundreds of HR roles with AI agents handling tasks like vacation requests and pay statements.
Most people familiar with the AI space will tell you something that’s hard to hear and equally hard to believe - AI will likely replace a very significant amount of global entry level white-collar jobs within the next five years. In the scale of our children’s lives, that’s effectively tomorrow.
What do we build instead?
There is a tendency for our current education system to unintentionally stifle the qualities our children will most need in future – originality, independent thinking, risk taking and deep knowledge, rather than the broad, shallow knowledge needed to pass exams.
won’t actually be needed for employment but all the good stuff they develop internally while building them will absolutely serve them well.
Relationship-building and collaboration
The most resilient people in the future will be the ones who know how to find their people, build things together and communicate across difference.
Identity development and direction-finding
In a world of almost infinite choice and no fixed paths, children are going to need a strong sense of who they are, what they care about and how to move toward it. That kind of direction doesn't come from outside. It gets built, internally, over time. Make sure they develop that deep, strong sense.
As parents, we need to get our heads round the fact that the jobs that will be replaced won’t be just low skilled jobs on factory lines, at cash registers or repetitive manual work. We must also recognise that our education system is designed to train children for the world we have been used to - in other words, to teach them things that, now, technology has also mastered.
Skills versus qualifications
Companies are already losing faith in education pipelines that aren’t producing adaptable, job-ready people. In their place, there is a rise in skillbased hiring and project portfolios that actually show what a person can do. The future won’t care about qualifications. It will care whether you can think, build, solve problems, adapt and contribute in ways that a machine can’t.
Within the next ten years, the gap between what children are being trained for and what they’ll actually face in adulthood will just become too big to ignore.
How do we guide children in a world that’s no longer structured around graduations, qualifications, employment, performance reviews, entry level roles and corporate ladders?
We need to get serious about a different kind of preparation for adult life. One that accepts, fully, that the future will not reward people for what they memorised - it will reward them for what they can build, navigate, initiate and solve.
Here are five real-world capabilities which form a much more deliberate and demanding kind of education.
Self-management and personal agency
In a world where job structures or set working hours are less prevalent, your child will need to know how to manage themselves - not just their time, but their energy, attention, output and emotion. These are skills most adults were never taught. Your child should start learning them now.
Deep work and independent problem-solving
Surface-level knowledge is everywhere. What matters is the ability to go deep - to focus without distraction, to stay with complexity and to work through problems that don’t have obvious answers.
skill development
Instead of ticking boxes, help your child build tangible, functional skills. Not just academic ones - practical, creative, technical and interpersonal. The kind that led to useful output, adaptability and confidence. A lot of those skills
A child raised this way will build the muscles they’ll actually need in this changing world:
• Motivation without any external pressure.
• Adaptability when things change, because they will, over and over again.
• Confidence to try things they’ve never done before.
• Patience to get good at something hard.
I believe we’re approaching one of the most fascinating periods of human history. But that we are woefully unprepared. So, this is a call to parents who want to give their children a real head start. A call to step into this big unknown space and spend the next decade helping their children develop the resilience, confidence, adaptability and purpose that will serve them well regardless of where all this goes.

Reading and spelling sit at the heart of the academic vision at Parsons Green Prep, aligned with the Department of Education’s National Year of Reading.
This small but highly ambitious school where every child is known and supported, witnesses daily the way in which confidence in these core skills unlocks learning across the curriculum. By strengthening the school’s approach, pupils are provided with the strongest possible foundation for future success, both in school and beyond.
Their journey begins in the classroom with daily, well structured phonics and reading. These are intentionally personalised and interactive; children learn to decode words securely, explore different texts and build fluency, allowing them to read with expression and enjoyment.
As pupils move up the school they encounter rich class texts, focused guided reading groups and dedicated independent reading time. This steady progression helps them recognise their own growth and approach new challenges with confidence.
To deepen engagement further, pupils are also encouraged to use an online reading platform. This has widened access to books, increased reading practice and boosted motivation, improving fluency and an eagerness to read for pleasure. As mentioned in the school’s recent ISI report, children ‘enjoy reading books to their teachers and
By Lydia Cozens and Alex Jarrett
answer questions about the characters they read about.’
Spelling teaching has also been strengthened. Children learn spelling patterns and rules in a clear, systematic way before applying them directly in their writing. This makes their learning feel purposeful, encouraging them to experiment with new vocabulary, knowing
that they have the tools to support them. The impact is visible every day at Parsons Green Prep: children choosing books independently, tackling ambitious words and taking ownership of their spelling. By placing reading and spelling centre stage, the school is pupils grow into confident, articulate learners who embrace new ideas with enthusiasm.

As a small, ‘Excellent’ rated prep school in Chelsea, Cameron Vale combines academic rigour with individual attention, ensuring every child is guided towards success at their chosen senior school.
From the earliest years, pupils are encouraged to think deeply, question confidently and express themselves articulately.

Lessons are deliberately challenging, nurturing analytical skills, sophisticated vocabulary and the ability to make connections across subjects.
This foundation is extended through targeted mathematics and English preparation. Small class sizes allow teachers to know pupils exceptionally well, providing personalised, expert guidance and regular feedback throughout the senior school application process. Children leave Cameron Vale academically prepared, confident, resilient and ready to thrive in London’s leading senior schools.

Your child’s school will understand that homework does not have to mean pages of writing or worksheets every time. In fact, varying how children record and present their learning can make homework more engaging, accessible and enjoyable for the whole family. When children are given choice and creative freedom, they are often more motivated and proud of what they produce.
One simple and effective approach is using drawing and diagrams
Younger children or those who find writing challenging, can show their understanding through pictures, labelled drawings or storyboards. A child learning about plants might draw and label parts of a flower or design a comic strip showing the main events. This supports understanding without the pressure of long written answers.
Hands-on and practical tasks are another excellent option. Your child’s homework could involve building a model, cooking a recipe linked to maths or measuring or sorting objects at home. For example, children might create a model of a landmark, use Lego to show number problems or organise household items into groups. These activities make learning feel real and meaningful.
Using technology opens up many creative possibilities too. Children may be asked to take photos of their work instead of taking bulky projects into school. This is especially useful for practical tasks such as baking, gardening or science experiments. A short video explaining what they did or learned can be just as valuable as written work. Older children might create a simple slideshow, record a voice note or type a short reflection. Technology also supports children who communicate better verbally than on paper.
Scrapbooks or learning journals are another flexible way to present homework. Children can mix writing, pictures, photos, tickets and drawings all in one place. This works particularly well for topic-based
homework or holiday projects and allows children to personalise their learning.
Finally, many schools do see the value of talk-based homework. Asking children to discuss a topic with an adult, interview a family member or explain what they have learned builds confidence and understanding. Parents can jot down a few notes or the child can record their ideas using a voice app.
By offering different ways to record and present homework, schools help children play to their strengths. This reduces stress at home and encourages families to see homework as a chance to explore, create and talk together rather than just complete a task.

We’ve trained children to love the chaos in stories, not the calm that follows. When I once asked a Year 2 class their favourite part of a story, every hand shot up for the problem part: Goldilocks breaking chairs, the wolf blowing houses down. ‘The solution’s the boring bit,’ one girl said. But real growth, in stories and in life, begins when we start solving things. Those ‘what next?’ moments can teach resilience, creativity and confidence. Solutions give children tools they can carry into maths, friendships and everyday decisions.
Flip the script
What if the solution was the most exciting part? Kids love the drama of ‘uh-oh’ but it’s time they saw the ‘what next?’ as just as fun, with problem-solving an adventure in itself. Encourage children to pause mid-story and predict solutions. Their often wild, funny or clever ideas are exactly what trains flexible thinking.
A spark from Edward de Bono
Researching Edward de Bono, the father of ‘lateral thinking,’ taught me that adults often fall into fixed patterns. But fiveyear-olds? They’re natural innovators. When de Bono asked children to improve a broken wheelbarrow, their wild ideas outshone those of CEOs and engineers. The youngest thinkers

are our boldest problem-solvers, if we let them remain that way. Curiosity and play aren’t distractions from learning; they’re the engine behind original solutions. Thinking sideways strengthens their ability to approach problems with confidence and creativity.
Storytime experiment: Little Red Riding Hood
Pause the story right before the woodcutter saves the day and ask: ‘What else could Red Riding Hood do?’ You’ll get chaospoison apples and superheroes - but then, something magical: ‘She could trick the wolf!’ or ‘She could turn him vegetarian!’ Suddenly, your child isn’t just reading a story, they’re rewriting it with imagination.
Breaking the parent loop
Many children inherit their parents’ patterns: fear of failure, perfectionism, even ‘I’m just not good at maths.’ Storytelling lets children imagine new family scripts. It’s a gentle way of saying: you can rewrite more than just fairy tales. By modelling curiosity instead of frustration, parents show that every problem has more than one path forward. The earlier children experience this freedom, the sooner they internalise a growth mindset that will help them both in school and life.
Solutions classroom: small wins
It doesn’t have to be a grand plot twist. Even small, everyday problems offer opportunities for children to exercise lateral thinking. When a child figures out a new way to organise their desk, solve a tricky arithmetic problem or negotiate roles in a group activity, celebrate it. These micro-moments of problemsolving build confidence and encourage risk-taking. By valuing these ‘little victories,’ we signal that solutions are as exciting as the preceding dramas. Over time, children begin to approach challenges with curiosity rather than fear.
Try this at home:
Lateral thinking doesn’t need worksheets. Ask:
‘What’s another way to see this?’
‘What would the villain say?’
‘Can you invent three solutions, even silly ones?’
At first it feels like play - but play is the training ground for flexible thinking. Before long, your child sees every problem as an invitation, not a wall.

I have both professional and personal experience with cow’s milk allergies; when my daughter was twelve months old, we made our first attempt to climb the Milk Ladder.
Unfortunately, once past steps one and two, we couldn’t get any further. Lots of crying and vomiting prompted us to take a break. After two more attempts and feeling like there would be so many food related occasions we could never enjoy together as a family, we finally reached the top of the ladder when my daughter was three and a half… although - between you and me - she still flatly refuses cow’s milk, claiming she can’t have it, despite happily eating ice cream and drinking chocolate milkshakes!
What is a cow’s milk allergy?
Cow’s milk protein allergy (CMPA) is an abnormal response by the body’s immune system in which the proteins in cow’s milk are recognised as a potential threat. It is estimated to affect around 7% of babies under the age of one, although most children grow out of it by the age of five (NHS, 2019).
The two main types of CMPA
IgE-mediated: typically rapid onset (within minutes and up to two hours after ingestion)
Non-IgE-mediated: typically delayed onset (usually two to 72 hours after ingestion)
These two different types of allergies come with similar but

slightly different signs and symptoms. They can include itchy skin, a rash, atopic eczema, abdominal pain, vomiting, diarrhoea, coughing, chest tightness, wheezing or shortness of breath.
IgE-mediated can also cause acute flare up, swelling of the lips, face or around the eyes, nausea, sneezing and congestion. Non-IGE mediated can also cause gastrooesophageal reflux disease (GORD), loose or frequent poos, constipation, redness around the anus, blood and/or mucus in the poo, colic, tiredness, food refusal or aversion and faltering growth with at least one or more gastrointestinal symptoms.
If your child has other symptoms, that does not mean your child doesn’t have a food allergy. If you think your baby is having a reaction to cow’s milk, see your GP. Make sure you get medical advice before taking cow’s milk out of your child’s diet.
The Milk Ladder is a six-step technique of reintroducing your child to cow’s milk slowly so that their tolerance builds gradually. It is only suitable for children with mild to moderate non-IgE-mediated allergies and you should always seek medical advice first. I recommend referring to the official iMAP Guide for details, plus sweet and savoury recipes.
Put simply, the Milk Ladder starts with more broken-down forms of milk, like biscuits or pancakes and builds up to things like yoghurt and cheese, until eventually your child can have fresh milk. This is because when milk is heated or baked, the protein changes so it is less allergenic.
If your child has a reaction at any of the steps, stop and contact your health care professional before starting again. Once you have reached the top of the ladder, switch to cow’s milk in all food and cereals at breakfast.
Use the QR code below to see the iMAP guide with the six steps on the Milk Ladder.

Bedtime during the toddler and pre-school years can feel like a completely different world compared to the days of getting your baby sleep. Even children who previously settled well can suddenly need ‘one more story,’ ‘one more cuddle’ or ‘one more drink’ the very moment the lights go out. Although it can feel frustrating or confusing for parents, rest assured most of these behaviours are rooted in normal development.
Between 18 months and age 5, children go through huge leaps in language and imagination development, independence, emotional awareness and physical ability. With all this progress comes new bedtime challenges. Many toddlers discover the power of ‘no’ at around 18 months of age. They gain a new sense of autonomy and begin asserting independence. Their use of the words ‘no,’ ‘my turn’ and ‘I do it’ are about exploring control in the safest place they know.
Much of this behaviour comes down to emotional regulation. Young children are still learning how to manage big feelings and bedtime is the moment the day slows down enough for everything to catch up with them. They cannot simply switch off after a busy day; they rely heavily on connection with parents to feel secure enough to settle. Asking for another cuddle or another story is often their way of topping up closeness rather than manipulating the situation. This connection helps them switch off and feel safe enough to fall asleep. Sleep pressure also changes as children grow, meaning naps may need adjusting or bedtime may need shifting slightly later.
Meanwhile, pre-schoolers become highly conversational and imaginative. Separation anxiety often reappears and a child who was once content to settle independently may suddenly now need a parent close by. This is the age of shadows, monsters and busy little minds. As their world expands, so can their worries and bedtime becomes a moment when those thoughts surface.
Understanding these developmental drivers helps parents respond calmly. With firm but gentle boundaries, a steady routine and a few minutes of meaningful one-to-one connection before bed, children feel more secure and settle more easily.
Parents can support calmer evenings by creating a consistent wind-down routine that meets both the child’s need for connection and their own need for boundaries. Predictability helps children feel safe, while gentle limits prevent bedtime from stretching indefinitely. Responding calmly, keeping routines simple and using language that’s clear and warm can make a noticeable difference.

Oracy – the ability to express oneself clearly and confidently – is essential for learning, communication and building relationships. Not only do music, movement, drama, poetry, storytelling and teamwork help young learners build confidence, they also increase fluency and, in our experience, result in a remarkable development in communication skills.
Music and movement help children develop rhythm, projection and confidence. Singing explores pitch, tone and pace, while dance links movement with speech. These activities make speaking and performing enjoyable and memorable.
Drama and role-play let children step into different perspectives, practising tone, body language and improvisation. They build empathy, critical thinking and confidence in speaking to others.
Poetry strengthens fluency and expression. Reciting and performing poems improves memory, articulation and the ability to convey emotion. It encourages playful and imaginative use of language.
Expressing themselves becomes easier through creative activities, as it offers children a safe space to be themselves. Through discussion, reflection and performance, they gain confidence and ownership of their ideas.
Storytelling helps learners structure ideas and engage with classmates as their audience. Sharing stories develops clarity, structure, listening, and collaboration skills. It also builds confidence in expressing complex ideas.
Teamwork and group activities improve listening, turn-taking and communication. Children learn to respond thoughtfully and speak effectively in a group.
Bringing oracy into family life
Special equipment or plentiful spare time aren’t required to nurture oracy skills. Turn everyday moments into performing-arts moments: Daily routines. Instructions can become rhymes or a call-andresponse, keeping communication lively and helping younger children practise clarity and rhythm.
Storytelling at dinner. Each person adds a line to a made-up story, building confidence and creativity.
Mini performances. Performing a poem, a short dance or a role-play scene boosts self-belief and encourages children to speak out.
Music on the go. Singing in the car or while walking to school supports projection, breath control and emotional expression.
Oracy isn’t just about speaking – it’s about feeling heard. And the performing arts gives children exactly that: a voice that feels strong, expressive and truly their own.

With the Easter school holidays approaching, there’s sure to be some time for some celebratory baking (and eating!) with the kids. So get your aprons on and head for the kitchen with this yummy Waitrose recipe in hand.
Ingredients
• 125g Stork Original Spread
• 125g Waitrose Golden Caster Sugar
• 2 British Blacktail Large Free Range Eggs, beaten
• 3 tbsp whole milk
• 110g self-raising flour
• 3 tbsp Food Thoughts Fairly Traded Organic Cocoa Powder
• 75g Food Thoughts Cacao Melts Fine Dark Chocolate Discs, roughly snapped
• 75g white chocolate, roughly chopped
• 270g Cadbury Chocolate Icing
• 120g miniature chocolate eggs
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Line a 12-hole muffin tray with paper cases.
2. In a medium bowl, use a wooden spoon to beat together the Stork and the golden caster sugar. In a separate bowl or jug, combine the eggs and milk, then beat into the Stork and golden caster sugar. Sift in the flour and cocoa, then mix to combine. Fold in the snapped cacao chocolate melts and chopped white chocolate. Divide between cake cases.
3. Bake for 18-20 minutes until risen and cooked through (test to see if a skewer inserted in a cake comes out clean). Allow to cool in the muffin tray for 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
4. When cool, push the icing into a piping bag. Using the star nozzle release the icing. Start at the centre of each cupcake and swirl around, so you finish with a clear circle around the edge of each cupcake. Top with three little chocolate eggs.
