Review of BBC - CBeebies

Welcome to Jump Ahead Pre School

Advantages: lots of activites
Disadvantages: your child will not want to come off the computer!

...A few months ago my son was taking a very big interest in the computer, he was using the cbeebies website a lot with help but what I noticed was he was either bored with the games or he found some of them too hard so either his dad or I were landing up playing the games for him! I decided to start looking around for some computer games and spotted Jump Ahead in Pc World. Jump Ahead pre-school is fantastic as it has so much to do for the little ones. My son has been using this Pc game for around 5 months and in that time he has learnt his numbers which his nursery teacher is very impressed with. ** System Requirements** Windows 95/ 98 / Me/ 2000 and XP , this game will not run on Vista! Once you have installed the game just click the little icon and away you go. You will see a school house, a seesaw, sandpit...

Pre School Toy Savings

Advantages: Basic, Easy to Use Website
Disadvantages: Needs to have a keyword search function

...I first came across this website, whilst searching for a toy for my daughter through a search engine. I had been looking everywhere for a Peppa Pig toy that my daughter was after and didnt want to pay ebay prices. This website displays some of the most popular pre-school toys available and displays where they can be purchased underneath their image. At present they provide stock information for Dora the Explorer, Fifi & the Flowertots, Thomas and Friends, In the Night Garden, Peppa Pig, Disney toys and Lazytown. Ease of Use - I find this website extremely easy to use, information is displayed clearly in a basic format and is bright and colourful on the eye. There are navigation buttons at the top of the page which clearly advise the type of toy and then by clicking these you are quickly directed to the relevant page. I simply search...

Review of savepoundsandpence.co.uk

from pre school to teenage

Advantages: large variety of programs
Disadvantages: repeats shown often

...I really like Nickleodeon and ever since we got Sky around 7 years ago, I have been addicted to it. Now that we have digital and there are even more Nickleodeon channels, it is even better! Personally I think that the variety of programs that Nickleodeon shows are excellent. My personal favourites are the typical teenage programs, Sister Sister, Moesha, Kenan and kel and Sabrina the Teenage Witch, which I think all provide good, safe TV for teenagers to watch. As well as having a variety of shows for teens, Nickleodeon shows cartoons for all age ranges such as Hey Arnold, Cat Dog and of course, who could foget, Rugrats! It also shows a number of shows for pre-school children. The extra channels that Nickleodeon now has are both excellent as well. Nick Junior shows a range of progrmas for younger kids, such as Babar, Noddy...

Keep Smiling!

Advantages: Great illustrations and ideal for young children.
Disadvantages: None, in my opinion!

...with their daily activities and can obviously understand her frustration and unhappiness in not being able to do so until they make a toothbrush suitable for her gnashers! It?s also a good introduction to anyone wanting a book relating to brushing your teeth and has been used with our Nursery and Reception children as a stimulus when looking at the importance of dental hygiene. The illustrations are bright and bold and really appeal to younger, pre-school and early years children. - About the author - An Vrombaut was born in Belgium and moved to England to study an MA.

Review of The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round - Annie Kubler

"I'm a very friendly lion called Parsley"

Advantages: KIDS WILL ABSOLUTELY LOVE PARSLEY
Disadvantages: NOTHING

...keep everyone in check and the gardener tries and generally fails to keep the garden spic and span. The sets are beautiful to behold and the models show care and attention to detail. The stories are quite simply fun for kids and easy to follow. It can all be summed up:- In the words of Parsleys song; "I'm a very friendly lion called Parsley, I am always very glad to see you wave. But please don't shout or speak to me too harshly, because I'm not particularly brave." "I'm a very friendly lion called Parsley, with a tail for doing jobs of every kind. But I mustn't treat it roughly or too harshly, for it's such a useful thing to have behind." If you have pre school children they will quite simply delight over his show. It is hugely colourful, funny and will definitely spark their imagination. Run Time - 70 minutes Memory test...
