Hi, I live kind of between Nottingham and Derby and I have two little girls aged one and four. I am white and my husband is black and we live in a REALLY white area and my children don't know many people who aren't white. My oldest is really starting to notice and talk about it. She has been known to point to black men on the street and shout 'DADDY!' which is obviously very embarrassing! She is not the most confident child and it would be fantastic for her to meet some other children who are not white. She met a little girl in IKEA nearly a year ago now and she is still talking about it and is really excited if she meets anyone with curly hair. Nottingham and Derby are both very multi-cultural places but you can't really go up to people and ask to be their friend - I know as I have actually tried....
