My plans were that Ellie would be completely toilet trained by the time the 6 week holidays were over but the closer we got the more I realised she really wasn't ready.

Story Props – Developing Storytelling
Storytelling, reading stories and acting out known stories has quickly become one of our favourite pastimes as a family since Ellie arrived.

Her love of stories is far bigger than… Continue reading The Golden Key (gifted)

We visited Blists Hill Victorian Town in Ironbridge, (Telford, Shropshire) during this half term and is one of ten museums in the Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage site. We are incredibly lucky to have these museums on our doorstep and want to make use of what our great town has to offer.
