My Playroom

As you can see I have a large area dedicated to being a playroom. The layout changes as the children in my care do, their current interests and requirements for particular play determines what goes where and when. 90% of all equiptment can be accessed by the children, the rest is kept in 'easy for me' to get to places if it is requested. I am in the process of setting up a 'catalogue' for the children to be able to choose from the things that they may want which are not immediatly accessable to them.

The children also have free use of the lounge for extra floor space - the television only goes on for quiet time when needed. The dining room is next to the playroom and has an arts and craft drawer which is freely available too - some other materials are available on request like the paints for example, for obvious reasons (ie my house and smaller children....) they can't just be accessed by the children, but again are easy for me to set up on request.
