• Keep a very watchful eye on the party area for hazards, such as forks or small, easily swallowed objects, and clear them away quickly.
• Make sure you have a willing volunteer to take plenty of photos or unobtrusively wield a camcorder because you’ll be too busy!
• Babies will play alongside each other, not together, so keep a variety of toys available within a large, safe floor space.
• It’s crawling, walking and climbing time, so stair gates and fireguards are essential.
• Provide breastfeeding  mums with somewhere quiet and private to feed if they wish.
• Have somewhere clean, handy and well-equipped for nappy changing available.
• Store away precious ornaments and breakables.
• Keep pets well out of the way.
