Childminder Cathy James, who started her blog, Nurture Store, last year, is a finalist in the Mummy and Daddy (MAD) Blog Awards, sponsored by Butlins, for the category of Best MAD Blog for Family Fun.
'The blog is part and parcel of my work,' said Ms James. 'I am constantly doing activities and am really passionate about play.
