At present we have very little and really need some advice both in the planning and building stages. ANY suggestions / experiences shared would be greatly appreciated Thanks Ladybug x

Hi there everyone I was just reading Dianne's posting in planning the day and my eyes lit up when you talked about 'steady beat activities' and listening games.
