Our wee hall up at the allotment today before the heavens opened. Our plot neighbour let us pick loads of the wee red ones off his tomato plants to take home 👐🍅 🌶 🎃 🌽 checkout our weird bumpy pumpkin 😁

Exploring the rock pools down at Ardrossan north shore

Out and about today to get our stick insects some new leaves. All cleaned out and a fresh new enclosure for another week. They are getting so big!! No sign of any babies yet wonder if they'll reproduce??

Working on the polytunnel, let it get away from us over the winter and spring but that's it tidied up and our tomatoes all planted in! 😍

We’re inviting all childminders in North Lanarkshire - and their minded children - to come along and celebrate Childminding Week 2023 at Summerlee Museum on Wednesday, 10 May, from 10 am-2 pm.

Together we'll enjoy a fun-packed day with lots of activities and adventure.

We'll be joined by 'Operation Outdoor Play' where children can explore and experience outdoor-based loose parts play,

And Bookbug will also be coming along to share stories, songs and rhymes.

Children can take part in a treasure hunt, face-painting, and enjoy the bouncy castle.

Overwhelmed with my gifts from a special family who have been with me now for over 6 years very emotional, we will miss them loads. # # #

Annual Easter Egg hunt at our allotments. Weather was superb 🌞 kids had a great time. We set up our scarecrows as the naughty birds have been pinching our bulbs 🤪 our dwarf daffodils have survived they are so cute and much smaller than I imagined them being how cute 😍 spring is finally here 🤞😂

Muddy boots today spotting and matching bugs, weighing and measuring cones and stones, Easter sensory and great fun. Collecting leaves for our stick insects they are getting so big now can't wait for them to be much bigger so the kids can handle them, still too delicate!

Great fun at our childminding groups Easter party. A very special guest arrived 🐇 🎉🐣🥚

Some stick insect babies for the kids to help look after. We collected the leaves and sticks for their new home!

Off out on an autumn walk swishing through the leaves and up to the allotments to sort out our pumpkins. Not all have turned orange but super happy with the amount we got on our first try. They will look fab when they are carved. And our teeny wee 'jack be littles' still displayed soon time to make soup with them 😋 🎃 🍲🍂🍁

Pumpkins Pumpkins and more Pumpkins 🎃 and a wee baby 'jack be little' Pumpkin

First day of our 12 week virtual nature school course to develop the early years speech and language through nature and outdoor experiences. This weeks theme is puddles/water. We splashed, poured, made bubbles, spritzed, frothed,decanted and all sort of amazing things involving water. The kids had a ball!

Telling the kids their sunflowers would be taller than them was an understatement 😁🌻
