Acorn play group

I accepted an invitation  to visit Acorn play group this morning. They have a split site if ever there was one, parcelled out between the football club and the scout hut. The problems are the same as my last visit several years ago but it is amazing the spirit with which they give children a great start in difficult conditions.

Their main problem is they are not the sole occupants of these premises so they spend huge amounts of time opening up and packing up every day and children's artwork on walls is not necessarily safe. And not being together is also a problem and results in a loss of some sort.

My own children went there in the 1980s and 1990s and we have fond memories. But they are still struggling with these circumstances.
