My daughter is lucky to go to Gumboots and I think it is great. They spend plenty of time outdoors and also in the little garden. Also - have you looked at the weekly menus which are posted up? Their diet is very varied and they now email parents the menu on a 2-weekly basis so you can keep an exact track on what your chid is eating.
My daughter is in the baby room at Gumboots. I am very happy with the nursery and so is she. I was asked to provide clothing suitable for wet outdoor play when she started at 7mo. When she couldn't walk she didn't go outside if the weather was very bad. She isn't there every day so I didn't mind too much and made up for it on the other days. The menu is varied and everything is cooked on site. The little ones are given fruit when the older ones are having something more pudding like. I am sure the staff would be happy to chat about your concerns. They have always been very receptive when I have raised (small) issues.

    • Good luck with this - it is getting harder than ever to do an infant observation, I did mine at a local nursery as I needed to observe a child from 9 months - 3years. Mine was weekly for 3 months, It is surprising what you can observe during that one hour. I continued to use my observational skills throughout my 21 year professional career, After I retired, I returned to University and trained as a Practice Educator and went on to have 5 students and encouraged them not just to listen but to observe their 'clients 'body languages/ environment/ relationships with others. I would urge parents/caregivers to participate - you will be surprised how much more you will understand about your child and their development,
    • Regardless of who 'owns' the bin- the organisation regularly comes to empty it and clear up the area. They were there today (Weds)
    • I was just giving advice as to what to do with a 9 year old during school holidays as per Pugwash’s original post. I like to keep it simple Sue. 
    • @Gingergossip In deed a bit of a joker, totally tongue in cheek, got me and others, well done (check their profile out).   But unfortunately there is a bit of Alf Garnett here, where Warren Mitchell in As Death as Do Part, would say the most outrageous and offensive things.  Effectively mocking and calling out some nasty right wing beliefs.  But sadly some with those beliefs thought he was being serious, As we can see on this thread.
