The nursery is a converted house and we have turned the bathroom upstairs into a role-play area that we change once a month.

We decided that it would be a great idea to have our very own hair salon.

Parents volunteered to come in and have their hair done, which we made a note of in the appointment book, to add to the authenticity.

Parents and carers brought in the equipment from home, including empty shampoo bottles, hair accessories and an old hairdryer with the wire cut off. We bought magazines on hair, the children drew pictures of hairstyles they liked and made tinfoil mirrors, and we even set up our very own cash till.
