Advantages: good fun
Disadvantages: none

...at the top. These are useful as you can fit ladders /bridges to the climbing frame through these doors .There is one oval transparent window. This tent is not very easy to fit the climbing frame has to be dismantled to fit it. The tent has a seam at the bottom of it. This threads through the rungs of the bars of the climbing frame at the same level as the platform. This may be fiddly time consuming if you keep taking the den/tent on and off but my grandkids just leave their tent on all the time. You can buy this TP explorer den from the ELC, http://www.elc.co.uk/toy-30339?scid=awin for £55 it is also available at many other online stores most seem to be around the £55 mark. Yes I would recommend this toy it adds an extra dimension to play on the climbing frame. A special den to play /hide in can be Tarzans lookout; the eagles nest... Read review

Advantages: 2 hours' play for your money!
Disadvantages: Expensive unless you buy a book of 5 or ten visits in advance

...We don't live near the Giant's Den, but we do find ourselves, with the kids, at the Team valley retail park from time to time. Shopping's no fun to 4 youngsters, so one afternoon, we decided to treat them to softplay. We have been to numerous softplay sessions over the past 6 years, and Giant's Den is there at the top for us. It's huge, with lots of different zones for different ages and activities. There's plenty there to keep the kids entertained .... 0-2 zone ball pond, shapes area, little 3-tier play area for the tiny toddlers to enjoy 2-4 zone separate play area for older toddlers with a spiral slide, ball pond as well as an obstacle zone under 6 'mini-village' cars, houses, see-saw rockers, roller-coaster car track for a slightly bumpy car ride The main zone Includes a variety of slides (giant wavy astra...

Advantages: huge play area
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Giants den Huge warehouse on the easily found Team Valley trading Estate, this has been opened a few years now, and is usually busy…one of those places to go to when it's raining and you need something to amuse the kids. The whole area is divided into sections for under 2s, which is basically ball pools and Little vehicles to drive in a specially enclosed area, an area for under 5s, which is more of the same but with some slides and climbing frames added, and then there is the real "I am" things. These include a giant slide 3 storey climbing frame, as many nets and tunnels as you can negotiate, basketball area (there are coaching nights), PS2 and x box areas complete with some of the latest games and a mini village with small road system. Definitely something for everything if nerves can take it!! PARTIES We have. Over... Read review

Advantages: Makes any space safe and has endless uses
Disadvantages: Only for the rich…needs plenty of space

...Imagine if you will a small front room (13’ 7” x 13’ 5”) where one wall of the room is taken up by a fabulous stone fireplace with stove, hearth and green marble effect plinths either side. Now imagine small baby learning to walk…and fall near this beautifully but dangerously appointed hearth! Well now you are in my living room watching my son take is first steps (well in the next month or so). I looked around at fireguards, which are all very nice and functional, but only protect the actual hearth area. I need to literally cordon off the entire wall. How was I going to do it? Well I spotted the BabyDen, made confusingly by BabyDan! The BabyDen is essentially a hexagonal playpen which comes with a gate, so you can just walk in, as opposed to having to stretch and reach into conventional playpens. However, the BabyDen can also...

Advantages: Reality TV that encourages entrepreneurship and adds value to the world.
Disadvantages: The often scathing and barbaric remarks

...As professional and respected as I like to be perceived, I hide a secret which I will reveal once only.... I watch Reality TV! Yes, I do watch the likes of Big Brother and X-Factor - it's official! However, my favourite genre, by far, is business related reality TV, that boasts programmes such as The Apprentice and the superbly popular Dragons Den. Dragons Den has just concluded it's fifth series on BBC2, having reformatted their line-up yet again. You will see old re-runs of Dragons Den currently on UKTV Gold and Dave. In this age of the small business, millions of people have realised that the big money comes from working for yourself and not lining the pockets of some company's owner/CEO/MD. However, in an era where most ideas have been done to death, your business needs to have either a very innovative approach to doing something... Read review

Advantages: Good entertainment with a business slant
Disadvantages: Can be a bit predictable

...Dragons Den is a programme which can be found on BBC2 on a Monday night and lasts for one hour starting at 21.00. It is also repeated on Tuesday at 19.00 if you miss the Monday show. You can also catch repeats of past episodes on cable channel Dave. The show is currently in its fifth series. It can be categorised as reality TV however it bears no resemblance to the Big Bovver I'm a Z liste
