Does anybody else have the problem of what to do about their little ones getting into the kitchen in the two bedroom villa? I've had two 'quotes' from carpenters and to be honest am a bit shocked! I'm trying to see if I can get standard ones for the kitchen access and will probably have to get something made for the bottom of the stairs...

The stair alternative is that we have the first five or so steps accessible to him and start the gate from between the two walls... I read in the mothercare brochure back in the UK that stairgates are in fact supposed to be started from three or so steps up so little one can practice climbing stairs. In this case it would be three steps to a landing then a 90 degree turn and two more until it's possible to fix the gate to the wall. This is due to an awkward metal bannister situation at the bottom of the stairs. I hope this makes sense - am a little sleep deprived and trying my best to figure this out!!

Thanks in advance for any help!
