she is also in shephall. has a dd who is 2years old.

took dd2 to kastaway kids the other week, she loves it, but gets scared if dd1 isnt with her. will take them again after bubs is born. also have another sister in wgc, she has 3 kids.

dd1 loves castaway kids, , she really enjoys playing with other children, very sociable, i just usually end up a paranoid reck with all the older kids playing in the babies area, they are so boisterous and the mums never seem to bother telling them not to play in there, dd nearly got really hurt once, so i a m waiting till after half term to again, staff really annoy me though they don't seem to supervise very well and always blame it on shortages, maybe i am just being over protective, but i don't think it is fairwhen the little ones can't have free reign over their are because bigger kids are being kids!!
