I am dedicated to filling your childs day with activities that are age related and help them build their confidence.
activities
I am very much an outdoor childminder so if the weather is suitable I will be found outdoors with the children. We regularly use all of the local parks. This allows the children to run freely and meet new friends and of course uses up lots of their energy. Other places we regularly attend are, Lunderston Bay, Battery park, Darroch Park, Walled Gardens, Findlaystone Estate, Kelburn Country Park, Largs, and the many good parks there, Everton Camp site and we often go walking in the woods(we have built a wigwam den there) I also have an enclosed back garden with lots of ride-on cars, prams, balls, a 14 foot trampoline with safety net and large playcentre.
We are also very fortunate to have a huge field accessed from the garden so many days are spent playing here, playing and climbing trees and paddling in the burn.

indoor activities
We do have quiet time when we are indoors at home but we also do lots of arts and crafts, we play with playdoh and paint and draw. You can see some of our lovely art work in the pictures section. I have lots of indoor resources available which I try to rotate on a regular basis to keep the children's interest. Below is a list of indoor resources. These are added to regularly as the children's interests change.
