I quite liked the toddlers anyway, and having more for them to do is great.

confused?

I think it is oriented. Orientated sounds funny to me.

No - it's orientated in English-English. It's just an American vs. English
thing.

I just looked up the online Oxford English Dictionary. Orientate is
"another term for orient" and then I tired "orientated" and got this link
http://www.askoxford.com/asktheexperts/faq/aboutgrammar/oriented?view=uk
So both are right.
I feel better now.
