Apple Tree Childminding

Hello 👋🏻

It’s been a little while since posting on here, this little lady keeps us busy 💕

How has it been a year … it’s been lovely seeing her bond with all the children and they adore her as she does them - her little face when the doorbell goes every morning with excitement 🥹

Now it’s time to find this mum life, work life balance - if thats even a thing? getting back posting all the fun and exciting things we get up to at Apple Tree 🍎🌳

My families have been amazing and so supportive over the last year whilst I juggle becoming a Muma and all the new things that come with that, not to mention the fantastic community of childminding friends to hold my hand and guide me along the way 🫶🏻

This week we are thinking about school readiness!

The information this week is not intended to overwhelm you and it will not apply to all children, but we wanted to share some ideas of things you can be thinking about ahead of this important transition time.

Pumpkin & golf tees! The children were engrossed for a very long period of time - great activity for understanding how to use tools safety and hand eye coordination 🎃🧡

The Secret Farm - Pumpkin Patch 🎃🧡

Always one of my favourite outings of the year with the little ones! Massive Thankyou to The Secret Farm for opening for a childminder morning, we had the best time with our friends!

🍁🧡 October 🧡🍂

This has been our final month open before we welcome our baby girl and have a little break until February.

We have been spending lots of time with our friends, visiting our favourite places and making the most of our time together.

🍁🐿️ Hello September 🦔🍁

September was all about introducing Autumn to the children, trips to the forest with our friends and harvest activities.

Our Autumn Cosy Corner 🍂 🧡

Wishing anyone celebrating a Happy Diwali! 🪔🎆

My Ofsted report has now been published on their website, so I’m now allowed to share with you all.

I had my first inspection last month and I could not be happier with the outcome and comments made ❤️
