LEARNING TO CODE SHOULD BE ENGAGING, CHILD-LED AND SUPPORTED

We know that learning to code should be all about having fun, getting creative and feeling the freedom to explore without constraints! It's less about lecturing and more about nurturing and enabling your child on their coding journey. The power of learning through play is real. Our weekly online and in-person clubs feature STEM-Certified mentor support to guide your child on their coding journey.

Watch - Easy to follow, step-by-step instructions teach you how to code
Code - Simple drag and drop code to create, and “hack” your own games
Play - Play newly created games and share them with friends

Pure Living Collection is an online store that sells a fabulous range of luxurious duvets, pillows, mattress protectors and associated bedding products. This website offers invaluable advice on the most appropriate bedding available for children.

Children just love the feel of the soft light-weight, hypoallergenic Spundown Duvets. Mums love them too, for this is the award winning duvet that just loves to be washed, time and time again. For summer the 3.0 tog Pure Cotton Duvet is a popular choice of children’s duvet as it will help your child maintain a regular temperature on warm summer nights.

The polyester hollow-fibre filling of the Anti Allergy Duvets and Pillows contain material in which house dust mites cannot live, thus playing a major role in helping to relieve allergies caused by them. Alternatively, the Anti Allergy Duvet, Pillow and Mattress Protectors all provide an effective barrier between your child and the dust mites and their allergens.

Pure Living Collection also offers some pillows with slightly less filling and therefore perfect for smaller shoulders, whilst waterproof mattress protectors offer their mattresses protection against those all too common accidents and spills.
