Fantastic ideas may need to pinch some when i do my garden this summer

[RuthJ]

Lovely, would be amazing to have a space like that!

Love your page too!

Fabulous setting however my hubby would actually leave me as there is soooo much stuff in there!!!!

My goodness the place looks like a set.

What a nightmare after five mins with 3 under 3 running around in it. The books would be all over the floor, all the many lovely baskets would be tipped up and scrambled. They would be tripping up, banging their heads. On a day like today half the cushions, books and resources in the garden would be soaked and you would spend hours everyday setting up and clearing up.

Where is the Home part of childcare in this kind of environment? It would drive me made living in a home like that and where in a garden and hoe like that do I have a bar b que with my friends and family at the weekend when I am not a childminder?


Yuck!

Your FB page is lovely.

There are some lovely ideas there, although I am inclined to agree with Rickysmiths.

Memina that was the first thought that came into my head too, either that or I would be buried in that huge sandpit.

I like some bits of it, just not all of it together. It's just too much.

I love seeing what other people do in their settings! Fly on the wall syndrome! It's great that they use natural materials but personally I feel there is too much stuff and I loathe tidying up at the best of times. I'd like to develop 'zones' in my setting ie a reading zone. The garden looks fabulous, I've been keeping my eye out for a wooden playhouse but have wondered how often it would actually be used so perhaps a wigwam would be a cheaper alternative. Can't wait for summer so I can redesign my garden layout! Thanks for sharing!

If only we had an Australian climate. Half that stuff would go mouldyor get covered in moss. But some of the ideas are great!

[FussyElmo]

Yes the austrailian climate has a lot to play for the outside area - big sighs if only we got a tiny porportion of their weather.

The inside how ever nice it is well I have got to say I would only have something like that if i had a separate area that i could shut the door on it.

Did like some of the lovely ideas though - i wonder how easy it is to knit those coloured baskets for sorting buttons

Some lovely ideas, but all that stuff out on display my 2 year old would have it trashed in a second

[caz3007]

I had a quick look and there are some great ideas and will have a longer look later. But if I took over the garden like that hubby would divorce me, but there are certainly some bits I would like to incorporate

It is absolutely lovely, wish I had the time, money & energy to improve my setting more....thank you for sharing
