We are so lucky as Furzedown residents to have the Rec and Tooting common but more importantly there is such a strong sense of community here. Whenever we visit and enjoy these wonderful green spaces we have the chance to meet the many fabulous mummy or daddy friends and other childminders and nannies who live here. Children in my care have opportunities to socialise on a daily basis with a wide range of people. Meeting and making and keeping friends is such a vital life lesson to share with children from the moment they are old enough to open their eyes! I think it makes for confident happy children..not to mention the opportunity for us grown ups to get support from each other, share ideas, problem solve and have a good laugh too as we meet the needs of our little ones!
