some are some arnt one of the many good reasons i chose a childminder and not a nursery after visiting may was that the children are taken out every day by most dedicated childminders its important that our littleones are interacting with the outside world learnlng of the enviroment around them my minder goes to lots of groups, libary, farms, musiums, as well as all care and activities within a home inviroment when i pick her up she's full of chat about her day most of the time wanting to stay more they are aways comming up with more ideas for the children THANKS NANNY PENNY AND TOYAN your both a treasure
