✨ Our new Twist & Turn Tubie has arrived from Chequered Fox ! ✨

And the children have absolutely loved exploring it already! 😍

Watching the balls disappear and reappear has sparked so much curiosity, problem-solving and excitement.

It’s also great for developing:
🟣Hand-eye coordination
🔵 Visual tracking
🟡Prediction & problem-solving
🟢Communication
🔴Turn-taking & social skills

A simple resource with so much learning through play! 💕

'The Dot' is a lovely story and a little reminder that sometimes all you need is to make your mark and see where it takes you! 💕

🐾🌳 A very special Gruffalo adventure! 🦊

With the brand new 'Gruffalo Granny ' book released yesterday, it seemed the perfect time to share our lovely trip to the Gruffalo Trail at Twycross Zoo! 📚💕

We explored the trail with our friends, spotted lots of Gruffalo characters and even got to meet the Gruffalo himself! 🥰

We love bringing our favourite stories to life! 📖🤎

It doesn't go unnoticed

I DID IT… WE DID IT! 🥹❤️

I’m so incredibly proud and excited to finally share the results of my recent Ofsted inspection…

🌟⭐ Strong standard in all areas! ⭐🌟

My previous inspection was through a childminder agency, where I was graded Outstanding. At the time, I was incredibly proud of that achievement, but I found myself almost hesitant to shout it from the rooftops.

I’d heard comments such as “It’s easier to get Outstanding through an agency” and “Agencies give Outstanding more often than Ofsted”. Whether those comments were true or not, they made me question whether my previous grading was a true reflection of the practice I had worked so hard to create.

So this time, having had an inspection directly with Ofsted, I think I’m finally going to allow myself to stand back and feel really, really proud. ❤️

This little business is something I have created from the ground up. I have poured my heart and soul into it, invested countless hours, constantly reflected on my practice and, if I’m honest, lost far too many hours of sleep worrying about this inspection!

Not because I don’t believe I do a good job… but because I care so deeply about the children I look after and the families who trust me every single day with their most precious little people. ❤️

So today, I’m celebrating.🎉

I’m celebrating the hard work, the sleepless nights, the learning, the growth, the children, the families and everything that makes my setting what it is.

I did it. WE did it! 🥹❤️

And this time, I’m going to shout it from the rooftops. 🫶🏻🌟

Strong standard in all areas! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I’m rubbish at goodbyes… and this year I’ve had to say two. 🥺💕 Thank you so much for the kind and very generous gifts and the lovely words! 🥹

I’m so incredibly proud of these two little ones and everything they’ve achieved during their time with me. 🥹🥰

I’m going to miss them more than they know, but I know they’re ready for their next big adventure at school. 🎒🫶🏻

Good luck, little ones. Go and shine! And remember, 'Wherever you go, whatever you do, I want you to know, I'm so proud of you!' ❤️

📚Starting School for the first time or going back to school can bring so many mixed emotions, excitement, nerves, pride, anxiety and tears.
Whatever you’re feeling, it’s okay. I get it. 💛

Be gentle with yourselves and remember, every big step starts with a little bit of courage. 🌟

Wishing all my little ones (and my big ones!) a happy start to their new adventure! 🎒 ❤️
