    Really nice and colourful, but is it me being thick as I couldn't see anywhere telling people how to contact you.

    It has been a long day but I can't see a "Contact me" link, I think it may be my browser as it looks like only 1 page loads up

    One thing I noticed is that all your text is in gif text, to be found in the search engines it really should be in html as the search engines cannot 'read' images.

    It is a very colourful and informative site.

    However I would not personally advertise my full address on a publically accessable site telling pepole I am working with small children and including a daily plan than gives a good indication when you are going to be out of the house. It could also have implications for your household insurance.

    We are not allowed to use the Ofsted Logo on any of our Paperwork. You are only allowed to if you are Outstanding and then you are sent a special logo.

    This may also apply with the ICO logo i don't know.

    With any logo you should really get the permission from the owner, everything you find on the internet whether images or web page content are copyright of whoever made the site, although some sites probably wouldn't bother if you use their logo there are those, as rickysmiths points out, such as Ofsted and also NCMA who do not allow their logos to be used, information about it is in their respective websites.

    It's lovely but, if I'm being picky, there is a spelling mistake on page 1 (should be their not there - last line)

    I agree with Rickysmiths about having your full address on your website. Also you might want to double check Ofsted's address as there was recently a thread on here that they have moved offices. The other thing I noticed (another one of us being picky) on your Activities page you need a bullet point for your PSED.
    A lovely colourful website though. Hx

    I found it easy enough to navigate, preferred your little handprint background to the larger one and must admit I was a little distracted by it changing as I navigated between pages. I'm easily distracted

    Miffy's correct about the spelling on the first page and Miffy's free to check mine out for any errors as when you're looking at your own writing day in and out it's easy to miss things.

    I thought the content was succinct although being distracted by two little ones right now I haven't read through all pages, just glanced.

    Hi Everyone
    Thank you so much for all your advice on my website, I really appreciate all your help, its amazing how much you miss when you get fed up of looking at the same pages over and over again lol looks like it needs some work on it, although i haven't got a clue how to fix the issue with some of you not even seeing the links, as it works on my phone, iPad and mac, I even checked it on three pc's and they were all fine, so have no idea how to fix a problem I can't see, I thought maybe its a browser issue? who knows.

    Thanks again everyone

    i could only get the front page up.

    i like the handprints, but it was all a bit too busy for me, and i did find the heading hard to read - not sure if it was the font or the colour.

    i have the 'play, learn & grow together' picture as a poster at the moment!
