    Default childminding Epsom and Ewell - school holidays

    Hi
    I am struggling to find some childminding activities/groups in my local area. Especially over this school holidays.
    Does anyone have any ideas. I currently mind two 16 month olds and have a 2year old.

    Really looking for some groups we can go to

    Hope someone can help
    Thanks

    I'm afraid I have nothing useful to say with regard to childminding activities. Its just that I saw where you are from and I was feeling nostalgic!. I grew up and lived in West Ewell until I moved to Devon 8 years ago. When people ask where I'm from I always say Epsom as no one has ever heard of West Ewell!!

    can't help with groups but lots of free outings. Reigate park, Bushey Park, Bourne Hall, Deen City Farm, Non-such Park.

    Wimbledon Park has a kiddi splash area (no pool just the water fountains) so great for littlies.

    All the libraries are contining their songtimes here (I'm not far from you).

    I go for a little park outing each day then we chill in afternoons with activities for older ones and naps for littlies.

    See if you can persaude a friend to come along, always helps when you need a wee!
    if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got

    Agree with the above. Wimbledon park is in Merton and if you check Merton website they have 2 parks with paddling pools too, all free.

    Don't forget Sutton's Ecology centre, in Carshalton. Great for a couple of hours out, free and you can take a picnic

    Crawley have 4 free adventure playgrounds.

    http://www.crawley.gov.uk/pw/Leisure...vice/INT184107

    It's a bit of a way from you but you can easily spend all day there.

    They also put on some sort of craft for the children.
