Hi all, me again!
We move into our new home on 8th june and starting to try and work out what we will do in terms of childminding space. We have a dining room that I was going to make a playroom, the living room is big enough to fit a table in for us to use at mealtimes, and we also have a small conservatory that I was thinking of usong somehow, possibly as a way of making outdoor play free-flow when poss. I have 2 2x8 Ikea storage for the playroom, small table and chairs, easel, wooden market, kitchen, dolls bed etc and a large play/train table that would be useful to put plastic trays on for messy play. I also have a few rugs and loads of cushions and a canopy for a reading corner, and a box. Thinking of maybe using splitting the resources into two for playroom and conservatory but not sure how/if that can work. The landlord has left a large leather sofa in the conservatory at the moment...so maybe thinking of doing that as the reading and role play area and having more general toys in the playroom, but that limits what they can play with at one time. I did suggest making the smallwr dining room into the kitchen and letting me have the entire back of the house, but hubby wasn't too keen. No idea why!
What are your thoughts?
