Lyon's Den Childminding Services

And all the weekends you spend preparing for the following week

We don't always realise how fast time goes until the little moments become memories. When I first opened my doors as a childminder this little cherub burst through it at just 2 years old and eased me gently into the job role. She stayed with us until she started full time school and what fun times we had. She still comes to visit and video calls us from time to time, it's always like she's never been away 💗

A thing happened today....

GOLD for our little pocket rocket today! 🤗💫💯❤️🚀
Well done to our lil' C, we are super super proud of you, excited to see where this leads and we will always be cheering you on from the sidelines.

She may be small.....but she is MIGHTY!

We have another 3 year old!
Our own little animal whisperer/fashionista/get along with everything and everyone kinda gal. Everyone wants to be your friend and you love with all your heart ❤️ just comes in that door and gets on with it. Resolves argument and disputes because you want everyone to be as happy as you are...but you have a limit too. A beautiful balance. Keep being you!!
Have the happiest of Birthdays, we all love you (especially Arlo 🐾) 🥰

One of our goals this term was to ditch drinky bottles altogether and switch to open top cups for all children across the setting. Even when out and about, and at all times and with no exceptions, we are now using open top cups exclusively and it's so much better for everyone all round. The children are consuming more fluids and it has improved their focus and coordination.

Sometimes when you show the rain you're not afraid, the rain hides from you 😀 A full morning in Locke Park yesterday with the cubs, we headed up to the bandstand where we chatted to the park keeper who was on his litter picking round. We watched some workmen from the council felling the trees because they had disease. Their saws were extremely loud and a little scary.
We found Rapunzel's tower and could hear her snoring 💤...we couldn't wake her up 😆 and we called to visit the goblin but he was grumpy and told us to go away 🤣 In the EYFS, make-believe play is a vital tool for development, allowing children to explore new roles, negotiate scenarios, and make sense of the world around them.
We also visited the play park and were joined by an inquisitive squirrel.
