About
A very warm welcome :)
Silkysteps is a website based in the UK offering ideas and
printables that support children in play, and adults in their promotion
of play.
All the organising, pixel drawings, illustrations, uploading and
editing is conducted by myself, Ruth Grimes so please accept my most
sincere apologies for any typing errors you're almost certainly going to
encounter.

The site began back in early 2006 and continues to grow daily. Hindered
only by my depth of t'internet knowledge I hope the site is something visitors
will find relevant and most importantly, useful.

Why the name silkysteps?
Two words joined as
one, they hold the site & personal thought processes together!
Separated, Silky is a fictional cat character leading the
way foward.
...... steps were and are
this adventure .. the world of business, childcare, crafting, networking
and the many ways it all fits together.
The layout of the original website - way back when, saw 14 characters take category
leads for a range of ideas and printables aimed at supporting preschool
practitioner's planning. The current site is an evolution of this, moving
to a format I hope proves a little more accessible.
The majority of site content is my own work based on 18 years of
experience gained in a community preschool way down south in Cornwall.
Contributions, knowledge and opinion expands on this virtual collection,
within the forum and as credit notices on pages where content has
been shared by others - Thank you so much xx
Some of the characters have a less visible presence
on the site now but reside with equal prominence behind the scenes
in resource development. Throughout the site links are provided to help broaden the
information offered. Links to amazon.co.uk are in association with the site's
affiliate account and purchases made in the store help towards
silkysteps costs.
Please enjoy the website and
feel free to get
in touch whenever the need arises.
