Nursery World - Going places (1)

Short of ideas for a kids' outing? You can use the net to find out what's on in your local area, says Jenny Benjamin Somewhere in the dusty recesses of my home office is a Kids' Outings folder containing a collection of leaflets detailing the various attractions and facilities of my local area. 'How organised!' I hear you say. Not a bit of it. For a start, I can never find the folder. If it does turn up, and I can find the brochure I want among all the dog-eared rubbish, the information is usually out-of-date.
