I’ve just returned from Gran Canaria, it was our first visit to the Island and we loved it. There was 4 adults and two, two year olds. We had such a great time, I wanted to share my experience and adventures with you all. Keep reading for all the details. Before you continue I think its important to understand why we booked a Villa and why we chose Gran Canaria, I think this will help you decide if its a holiday you wish to book too. We travelled with friends so in total ther

We visited the snail park in Walnut Tree and we had a great time, Daisy loved the snails and there were even some spring flowers out. The park itself has a soft AstroTurf floor which will be great for younger toddlers who are just learning to walk or even little crawlers – no mud here! Daisy 20 months old needed help to climb the climbing frame but once up she loved it. There is also a chalk board so be sure to take some chalk with you. There is a spinny ‘thing’ which Daisy e

This park is located in Great Holm and it’s such a well designed little park. The wooded sculptures are fantastic and great for toddlers and children. Toddlers who love sand and climbing will love this park. Take a bottle of water too and let them play with the sand and sticks. There is a little climbing frame and wooden car, a tunnel, baby swing and other little bits. Such a fantastic park and well worth a visit. The park is not enclosed and is surrounded by houses and under

The Triangle Park is such a great little park. There is an enclosed park ideal for toddlers including two toddler friendly climbing frames, two slides, a tunnel and baby swings. Next door is another enclosed park ideal for bigger kids and also some exercise equipment. Use postcode MK43 0HW however google maps took me straight here just by searching Triangle Park. There is no parking so you’ll have to fins a suitable place along the road. #miltonkeynes #newportpagnell #mkkids

This is a great little find, it’s located in Moulsoe which is a village on the way out of Newport Pagnell and on the way to Cranfield. It’s also next to the Carrington Arms Pub and the Millenium Village Hall. There is plenty of free parking and lots of green space, perfect for taking a football and a picnic. Daisy was 19months when we visited and needed a little hand climbing the equipment but she loved it none the less. My friends 5 year old had a blast too. There are two cl

Today we visited Wimpole Estate, we spent 4 hours there and still didn’t see all of it. We had so much fun, it’s about 1 hour from Milton Keynes but well worth the visit and even more so if you’re National Trust members because it’s free! Standard entry for an Adult is £17.20 and child £8.60, under 2s are free. There is so much to do and see and the sunshine made it extra special. The little gift shops are lovely, we brought some chocolate fudge and next time we said we will

Daisy & I visited Thrift Farm. The animals all seem so happy and well looked after too, from birds, ducks, geese to lamas, donkeys, ponies, goats, sheep and giant rabbits. You can buy a bag of feed for 50p and feed the goats which are my favourite. They have an outdoor play section with picnic tables a little slide and mini tractors for toddlers.
