Well the new little slide certainly got well tested and approved today. Outdoor play is such a fun, exciting and important part of children’s learning and development.
A great way to develop their gross motor skills and have a sensory experience. Great for their health, both physically and mentally and of course the added bonus of helping them to sleep better. 🤔😀

The children have been having ago at making a Maze for the Guinea Pigs today, the piggies are not the brightest piggies in the world bless them xxx
They didn’t manage to nudge the piggies ball, so kept going back through the tunnel … They did get their treats in the end though xxx - Doll Houses
Not sure who enjoyed playing with these today the most – the big or little ones xxx 🤔😍
Dolls houses and role play are a fabulous way to build up social and emotional skills and develop language xxx
