We are a Pre-School based in a village hall. We have to set up every day, which means getting tables out of cupboard. Does anyone have, or know where you can buy suitable trolleys to put them on to save a bit of carrying morning and night. I know they have such things in school, but they are quite big. I really need a smaller size to suit our tables. Thanks in advance Glen

A while ago I saw a resource for Pre-School children, like big meccano, with screws and bolts to fit pieces together to make large models. I would like to buy some now, but can't remember what it is called. Can anyone help, with the name and where to buy it. Also if anyone has some, do they like it, is it worth the money. Thanks in advance Glen
