So why can't you put the cost though your accounts?

Would anyone seriously not claim for something just because their own child uses it. That would just be cruel to buy something then ban your own children. :panic:

My children use everything I buy for childminding, and put through my books.....it's a perk of the job surely. :rolleyes:

I have this one:

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/3498633/Trail/searchtext%3EBALL+PIT.htm

Its great - its a good size and folds easily in its own storage bag that then just hangs on a hook in my cupboard. Would take about 2 bags of balls to fill properly, I just have one bag at the moment but do need more.

And my 9 yr old DD loves going in it too!!!:laughing: :laughing:

I use the same or a pop up tent - I'm using my igloo (ikea) at the moment they love it - mine are too young to sit and read etc in the igloo and it gives a new dimention to the balls -

yeah very (not that ours has been down) :laughing:

it has 4 small poles (like wendy house poles) in the corners to keep it up.

it can happily fit my 3 youngest mindees in it at the same time and still have room to play and they are 2, 3 and 5 years old :eek: :clapping:
