I work as a nanny to a lovely little boy, his mum has started up this group and there will be about another 2/3 children she wants them on in one room - my question is: besides the toys what elese can I do with them. This will be for about 2 hours. thanks

What are their ages?

Age is a very important thing to know... babies won't do much... toddlers will want a selection of small toys plus ride-on toys, older children may want to rampage around.

If the mum wants to run a toddler group (assuming they are toddlers) then let her do the organising - not sure why you as the nanny are getting involved. Also make sure the parents of the children are present and supervising their child - else you may end up nannying for all the children.

If mum just wants you to supervise one activity - then cover a table in paper and give them crayons to draw all over it.

What do you mean the mum has started up "this group"? Sorry I don't understand?
