🌟 Well done, Daisy! 🌟

At Poppies, we know how important it is to have wonderful practitioners, and ongoing training is a fantastic way to continue developing knowledge and skills.

Daisy is so close to achieving her Level 3 in Childcare, and we couldn’t be prouder of her! 💕 This week, her tutor came in to observe Daisy leading a wonderful playdough activity with some of the children.

It was lovely to see Daisy putting her learning into practice and creating such a fun and engaging experience for the children.

Well done, Daisy — you’re doing an amazing job! 🌈👏

So… we had not one, but TWO Poppies Graduations for our gorgeous little preschoolers! 🎓🌸
Here’s just a little taster of the before… the excitement, the preparations, the little details and all the behind-the-scenes magic that went into making their special day one to remember. 🥹✨
We can’t wait to share more! 💕🎓

Not just a pool noodle. In a world where imagination has no limits, it can become anything a child wants it to be.

A sword. A rocket. A magical creature. A race car. A bridge. A castle. A fishing rod. Or the start of something they’ve dreamed up all on their own.

Cut it, shape it, build with it, create with it. Turn simple materials into something extraordinary.

Because when children are given the freedom to imagine, craft, build, and create, they don’t just play—they invent their own worlds.

Give them something simple. Let their imagination do the rest.

When children come together to draw, we can observe not only the evolution of their drawings, but also the development of their concentration, confidence, and ways of expressing themselves. Through different ages and stages, their marks gradually change—from early scribbles and spontaneous movements to recognisable shapes, figures, patterns, and more intentional representations.

The process of drawing gives children time to explore, experiment, and become deeply absorbed in what they are doing. Their concentration can be seen in the way they choose colours, repeat movements, add details, and remain engaged with their ideas.

When children draw alongside one another, they also learn through observation and shared experiences. They notice what others are doing, develop their own ideas, and communicate without necessarily using words. The drawings become a visual record of their growing imagination, fine-motor skills, thinking, and understanding of the world around them.

Our children loved exploring our bug hotel, creatively made from a recycled tennis racket! 🐞 They showed great curiosity as they carefully looked at what they could see, sharing their ideas and talking about the different bugs they thought might be living inside. A wonderful opportunity to encourage observation, language, and a love of nature. 🌿

Today, the tables were well and truly turned... and the children absolutely loved every second of it! 🎨😂

Instead of painting paper, canvases or easels, today's masterpieces were created on something much more entertaining... the staff! Once the paint pots came out, our team officially became fair game, and the children wasted no time getting creative.

There were colourful hands, painted arms, decorated faces (where appropriate!), plenty of giggles and a few staff members questioning whether they'd ever return to their original colour! Thankfully, everyone embraced the fun, and it was wonderful to see the children's imaginations run wild while our staff played along with huge smiles.

Activities like these are about so much more than getting messy. They encourage creativity, confidence, sensory exploration and lots of shared laughter. Judging by the squeals of excitement—and the rainbow-coloured staff at the end—we'd say it was a huge success!

A big thank you to our amazing team for being such good sports and proving that no one is ever too grown up to join in the fun. We may have started the day as educators, but we finished it looking like walking works of modern art! 🌈🎨💛

What happens when you let the babies take charge of washing the staffs hair?

Lots of laughter, care and concentration... and a very wet Lily and Maddie!

This simple activity was about so much more than bubbles. It encouraged communication, confidence, turn taking, sensory exploration, and nurturing relationships, all through play! 🚿💙
