Childspace is a parent run playgroup next to Brockwell Park in Tulse Hill. We are a cooperative and have been running for 10 years with a constantly changing membership of parents and children. All the parents take turns to look after the children along with the child worker. This involves bringing in lunch for eight toddlers and two grown ups and a fun thing for everybody to do.

The children like pasta with tomato sauce followed by cake. We do try to offer them other exciting options and sometimes they go down OK.

We thought it would be a good idea to produce this recipe book for two reasons. Firstly to raise funds, and also to collect and share some of the brilliant recipes and play ideas parents have brought to Childspace.
