A Lego-loving five-year-old boy who is "active and affectionate" is looking for a forever home.

Freddy is popular in school, has many friends, and the playful toddler is looking for a new family in Hampshire.

He is an early riser and often starts his day at 6.30am, reading or playing with his toys.

Adoption agency Adopt South say that Freddy loves breakfast, especially eggs on toast, pancakes, and chocolate milk, and is always keen to get to school.

He loves getting out and about, enjoying seaside visits and racing on his scooter, with the wind blowing in his face, while also looking through the telescope at the beachfront.

Freddy is learning to cycle on his bike with stabilisers and is determined to balance without them.

After a full day at school, he will concentrate and build something with his Lego set or play a game

Freddy finds it funny when he gets his shoes the wrong way round before he leaves the house.

His speech is behind for his age, but he has regular speech therapy sessions and practices reading books and saying words out loud with his foster family.

But the five-year-old remains encouraged, and is popular in school, where he is motivated to speak like the other children in his class.

His foster carer said: "Freddy is such a lovely little boy. He gets on very well with my children who are both under 11 years old.

"When we took him to Cornwall on holiday, he saw a fast car.

"Now he knows it’s a Lamborghini; he’s told us that this is what he is going to have one day.

"He aspires to things he sees and will explain to you how he feels."

Rachel Reynolds, head of Adopt South, said: "Freddy is such a positive, determined little boy who likes the company of other people around him.

"He is good with children his own age and likes to play games and laugh with the adult members of the foster family.

"We are looking to find a family life for Freddy where his parent(s) will be able to give him the time and attention he needs to continue developing."
