    Love your ideas,
    but I expect every Childminder on here has been planting for the last two months - seeds from scratch ...

    mine are looking super duper 'flower pot farm' is our label after a favourite book. All bedding plant and vegetable seeds are looking great ...planted seeds, pricked out- great finer motor - replanted watered ,watched looking good...some sent home for nurturing ...parents have grown some at home and contributed...

    but , if you missed the foundation bit- my local B&q are selling bedding plants at a great price.

    We have achieved level 4 -easy to do at any stage you are at in your gardening - great incentives: a load of seeds, Carol Klein book and a microscopic magnifying glass thingy ...all free...definitely worth a go.

    ............but I hope you left room amongst all that natural colour for some lovely plastic WINDMILLS.


    (Anyone going to report the OP to Ofsted for forcing the mindees to endure 'Windmill Deprivation Syndrome' ????? )
