'Babies Stressed Out By Buggies'

Children made to face away from their carers are more likely to end up anxious adults, the first ever study on the effects of buggies has revealed.Babies pushed in buggies facing away from their parents could suffer lasting psychological damage, scientists claim.

The away-facing babies in the research were "emotionally impoverished", laughed less, talked less and suffered more stress than those facing their parent...........

Dandelion creates the perfect gift for girls - the Pony Pad Playhouse in pink!

Little girls love all things pink & pony and this gorgeous hand crafted playhouse combines both of these favourites, making it the perfect gift this Christmas.

The Pony Pad is made from 100% cotton with embroidered detailing, stable doors and rosettes, creating a world of imagination and pony adventures. The playhouse promotes inventive, active play and fun in a world too often dominated by television and electronic games.

With their very own stable playhouse kids create adventures indoors and out. The Pony Pad makes a beautiful and fun centrepiece for a bedroom or playroom setting or an equally gorgeous outdoor feature. Designed in the UK with a strong focus on added value functionality as well as aesthetics, the playhouse is non flammable making it a safe environment for children to play in and providing parents with peace of mind.

The Pony Pad is erected and dismantled easily and stores away requiring minimal space. Its high quality handmade detailing makes it an ideal gift for children to play, create and dream and is built to last an entire childhood long.

Better Food in Nurseries? Yes please!

Better Food in Nurseries? Yes please! You may have seen a report recently highlighting that many nurseries provide nutritionally poor food for their kids; with a shocking few spending as little as 25p per meal per child. As over 600,000 kids attend nurseries in the UK, Organix thought they’d find out a bit more and have ended up signing a petition calling upon the Government to put in place guidelines which ensure there are clear nutritional standards covering our children’s nurseries, just like there are now in schools. show your support by adding your name - go to www.nurseryfood.org and take a look.
