Babyology has looked at all sorts of spaces created for children – from public parks and private kindergartens to amazing play centres, incredible cubby houses and beautiful bedrooms. Some are a riot of colour, others are deliberately understated to create kid-friendly havens but all offer something unique.

Life hasn’t been the same around at our place since we got our Springfree trampoline back in May – I reviewed it here in June. My boys jump on it constantly, and love it just as much as the day it came to live with us.
