"Leave the time consuming planning and prep to us, freeing up your time to play with your little people!"

They also run the fantastic Childminder Activity Packs, where you can get ready made craft packs for all sorts of occasions and they're also really reasonable. You will find Childminder Activity Packs on Facebook too.
