Hi, I must just share with you the lovely work we have had done by a company in our outdoor area. They really interpreted the kind of design we wanted. It was all done in goodquality wood and we are really pleased. As they are in Scotland and work in wood they really understood the quality of what we needed. The children loved the shelter den and the toadstools are fab It is really worth looking at their site for ideas. The magnifying posts which are proper ones used in the national parks are fab!! We have previously spent lots of money on some which didn't last over the summer! I feel i've found the Community playthings of outdoors. I hope its ok to…

For those of you following my story....the administration manager has resigned.....she has been very abrupt, rude and yes I can admit it now a bully......the trouble for me is she has three weeks to work her notice, although the committee have said she can leave immediately if she would prefer......I wasn't told anything about the resignation before the staff, she had told everyone and i found out from a parent....the whole term has been trying to say the least....I have remained professional but am finding it difficult to cope at the moment. :wacko: Sorry I am not after sympathy....Christmas is coming and we have lots going on and I have the underlying stress of man…

Have found a rather lovely u-shaped bench for our outside area, trouble is the cost. £500 for the bench plus £200 to £400 for delivery/installation, see link below. This is quite a chunk out of our budget so I was wondering if you had any ideas or know of a stockist of something similar or can suggest an alternative perhaps? http://www.pendlewood.com/childrens-playgr...teller_161.html Thanks

So, you've all seen the pictures, and heard our news. We are stranded on the north-west side of the River Derwent now that the bridges have gone or are closed as structurally unsafe. (Our remaining bridge into Workington is collapsing as I write) Mike faces a 90 mile drive to get to work on the other side of the river, which usually is a short trip of 5 minutes. The village school is 'closed until further notice' as teachers live on the other side of the river, and two of the three have been flooded out in any case, so wouldn't be coming anyway. So, does my Preschool stay open, or should I close too, two of my staff have children at the village school, so it's …
