Impressed with my Capital Grant pack

[king]

I collceted my capital Grant pack yesterday. I live in the north west. I was expecting a box of bat and balls etc. But there was so much more - Vtech camera, Bee-bot, Tape recorder with tapes, lots of gardening things, games, number tiles, dominoes, story sack, bug magnifying box, Ethnic family dolls, Various skin coloured paper and crayons, festivals calendar and 4 books about different cultures and some space hoppers.
It may of been better to have the money to choose things that are more suitable to the ages I look after but Im grateful of anything for free and it was quite an impressive bundle.

As far as I can understand (I maybe wrong) each area has been given a pot of money for early years section. It depends on the area on how they decide to use it. Wigan have allocated £500 worth of toys for each childminder registered before Sep. Luckily there was some left over and there was a pack for me as I am newly registered. Wigan Early years team contacted me about it. I believe some areas have not allocated childminders with anything and putting the money into parks etc.

Well done! Here in Sutton we get nothing but next borough Merton got a minimum of £2500 to spend on anything they needed.

It's not fair!! My friends have got kid's laptops, patio awning, Phil &teds buggies,etc.... I can't afford all that.
