The children are able to choose from a range of larger toys.
There are bikes and ride-ons. There are tents and tunnels to
go through. We have balls and bean bags. There are role play
activities such as the kitchen, ironing board and dressing table.
This time gives the childminders
a chance to chat and discuss childminding issues, which is very
important to us.

At the end of the session we all come together for a quiet story,
read by one of the childminders. The children all sit in a circle
on the floor to listen.
