PARENTS
We hope that you find some of these links useful. Please check the suitability for your children. Many have chat/comments sections which may not be age appropriate and some access Youtube.
(We recommend that in your YouTube settings, Restricted Mode should be switch ON and AutoPlay switched OFF. Whilst these will help minimise inappropriate content, children should always be supervised when online).
