I encourage children to be confident, independent and develop their own self-esteem. I organise regular visits to toddler groups, childminder ‘Stay & Play’ groups, local parks, libraries, children's centres and soft play centres which include plenty of indoor/outdoor activities. I have a separate play room in the house containing a ‘little tykes’ playhouse, play kitchen, ball pond plus a range of equipment to suit all ages.
Arrangements are made for quiet rest times or sleep for younger children.
We have a large garden-grassed area and patio area. The grassed area includes a baby swing, slide and space to enjoy an outdoor picnic with the children.
There is a patio area for children to enjoy outdoor toy's, trikes, sand pit, etc. Most toy's are made by little tikes also a separate area for all the new generation of gardener's (planting area). There is also an area where children can sit and eat al-fresco style (garden furniture: table, chairs, sun canopy etc) .
Walks and outings are also a regular part of our day with trips to the park and other local attractions (weather permitting).
