It is therefore a crucial period for enabling a child to gain a positive appreciation of themselves, of others and of the world around them.
At Blists Hill Victorian Towndedicated Early Years Days are set aside to ensure little ones have the site to themselves. Special activities may be arranged such as storytelling in the woods.
