Willow Tree Childcare - Alfreton based Childminders

✨ Upcoming Childcare Vacancy ✨

From January, I will have a space available for a new child to join my cosy home-based setting on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

As a degree-qualified Early Years specialist, I offer a nurturing, child-centred environment where everyone receives individual care and attention to support their holistic development.

Funded places are accepted.

If you’re interested or would like more information, please feel free to drop me a message, I’d be happy to answer any questions. 😁

Hope everyone had a lovely Easter ❤

Here are the Easter cards the children finished last week.

Now it's time for a big sort out of the play spaces ready for all the leaning in the new term😁

A few snaps of some of our experiences over the last couple of weeks....

We have welcomed a new friend to the setting on Mondays, who we have enjoyed getting to know whilst he has been exploring all of the wonderful resources we have available.
The older children have been playing games that encourage turn taking, this can be a challenge on its own as learning to surpress those inhibitions is something that can take time. We have also had lots of fun developing social skills meeting new people at the local playgroups 😀

An indoor picnic for lunch today 😍

A few photos from this week and some older ones that I'd forgotten to upload.

Enjoying the autumn leafs and meeting pudsey bear on Friday.

Some independant play with the blocks and cars.

Using some sticks we collected in the woods to make magic wands.

Enjoying an extra breakfast of cakes from the school bake sale.

Yesterdays art activity using chalks, perfect to create some colourful firework shapes, or their own ideas. Viv chose to make 'a road' drawing some white lines on the black paper😍.

Exploring pumpkins 🎃

This morning the children are using the phonics board by selecting the letter to hear the sound, then finding the matching wooden letter.
