Morris Minors Childminding

W/C 21st September 2026
We started by exploring RSPB old moor, conquering the wobbly bridges, building dens, making music and watching ripples in the water.
Up next a woodland walk to play at the playground, getting sand between our toes and working on our physical development.
Wednesday / Thursday saw us at our regular playgroup, trying lots of healthy snacks, singing and dancing, having lunch at our local cafe choosing from the menu, and also picking fruit for some baking.
We ended our week supporting one of our feeders schools, helping charity and eating some yummy cakes at a MacMillan coffee morning. But didn’t stop there we then finished our week by trying a new soft play cafe. And it was a hit we will be back Jelly beans

We have had the best week exploring and making the most of this weather.
We walked through the forest to find fairies, 🧚🧚‍♀️🧚‍♂️looking at footprints and trying to hear the badgers in tunnels under our feet.
A trip to a much loved park, where we explored the long grass, enjoyed the play equipment, collected conkers and read the new Gruffalo granny book.
Enjoyed books, toys, mark making, role play and much more at our weekly playgroups.
And to top of an amazing week, we ventured to wildlife world, where the penguins were the mesmerising to watch.
What fills me with the most pride, is how many people compliment the children in my care. How happy they are, how amazing they get such fantastic adventures and always how well behaved they are. I’m one lucky lady who gets the honour of making these memories with these young people. Roll on next week for more exciting days 🥹🥰
