My Summary
About Me
I live in Cubbington with my family.
We have fabulous local parks, toddler groups, farm parks etc.
We enjoy our memberships to National Trust properties to explore and Compton Verney who have wonderful grounds and super toddler sessions weekly. These encourage the children to socialize in larger groups & develop confidence & independence.
The children enjoy arts and craft activities both indoors & outdoors, baking, & free play. We have a large secure garden where the children enjoy access to outdoor fun, water/mud/sand play, climbing frames, balance beams, stepping stones, watching the tadpoles develop & various birds nesting in the Ivy. We enjoy growing fruit and veg to encourage healthy living, but the emphasis is always on having fun as we learn in a home from home environment.
Looking after our parrot, guinea pigs & 2 small dogs, helps teach the children about the responsibility of caring for pets.
