Hi, We are currently planning a sleep/rest area for our ever growing number of two year olds. While some will very happily sleep on sleep mats, our younger two year olds sleep so much better in our one dream coracle. However the dream coracle is marketed up to 20m so can be a bit snug for some. Has anyone else found another solution? I love the dream coracle and wish Cp would make a bigger version. Would love to hear other peoples ideas... Thanks in advance FF

Found out today that my sons pre school is closing next week as they couldn't form a committee I was going to attend the meeting this morning but had something crop up that I needed to deal with. I'm totally devestated for them. It's such a lovely little setting with dedicated staff but they have been troubled for a while, I feel bad I was at the meeting.

Hi all, I would like to start up a Penpal system with a couple of nurseries. All it would be is the good old fashion way of writing letters to each others settings. It would be nice for the children to recieve post and to hear about what other children get up to. Mike

We have a lovely Community Playthings art trolley for sale as we don't really use it to its full potential. It is about five years old, but as you probably know, CP products are built to last forever and it's in very good condition. I am based in North Suffolk and the buyer would have to collect - it's heavy! It costs £582.00 new incl VAT I am selling for £200.00 or a near offer http://www.communityplaythings.co.uk/products/creative-and-messy/art-supply-storage/help-yourself-trolley

After a discussion with the area senco and Educational psychologist today I would like to spend a childs EYPP on either yoga cards for the setting or getting in a yoga teacher. Does anyone have any experience/success with either of these and can you give me some information that may be useful. Any help appreciated. :1b (Due to our location I am finding it impossible to find anyone near enough to come and do some classes)
