Little Chicks Childcare

A very happy 21st birthday to our gorgeous Sophie! Pilates queen and baby whisperer. Sophie loves a birthday, especially her own and has lots of great plans to celebrate and quite rightly so. We will join you on Saturday Soph but in the meantime have lots of fun. Lots of love from Shaz, Momma, Sarah, Kay, Sal, Nikki, Sian and Sue. # # #

The end of an era! The legend that is Nikki Burns is (trying to) retire!! Argh!! We are going to celebrate properly with the team with gifts at a later date but I couldn't let the end of term go without beginning to say THANK YOU!

Nikki has been an incredible support to Little Chicks for many years and to me also on a personal basis. The person offsite I could go to when spanners were thrown by circumstances we had no control over and I needed a rock to help solve them with me.

There were so many not only financial, but legal and how many Ofsteds??!! We worked through them all and always found a way. We were an incredible team.

Her very big boots are now being filled by my lovely daughter Sian and she is doing a fantastic job so far, having been taught by the expert.

One of the many difficulties Nikki had to deal with was deciphering my terrible handwriting. Sorry Nikki!!

We all love you. Shaz, Kay, George, Sarah, Sophie, Sally and Sian # # #

READY!

A very happy Fathers Day to all our Little Chicks Dads and Grandads today. We hope you have a lovely day in the sunshine with your gorgeous children.

Obviously we do expect you to continue to nurture and water your grass head gifts ongoing as we have! 😆

Many thanks to All Saints School for allowing us to come to Sports Day again this year. It was lovely to see siblings and current and fledged chicks enjoying the day. The children had a fabulous time and were so well behaved as always. And yep they weren't sat down for long! X

Sarah is off to Disney Florida for a family wedding this weekend. She has been planning and prepping for weeks plus helping us prep here for a busy time without her. Have an amazing time Sar! We'll all miss you and the children are looking forward to seeing your photos with their favourite disney characters. Have a well earned break or try to as it may not be the most restful holiday you'll ever have! # # #

This terms project is 'People Who Help Us' and today we visited our local Co-op with a shopping list and very excited children.

Julie was fantastic and accommodated 9 little people with individual purchases and real money.

They learned that similar foods are grouped together, named the foodstuffs we found, discovered the price of each and helped to count out the money where possible.

They each got a receipt which they were very proud of. They learned new language and we discussed the things we had seen and done in circle time when we got home.

Luckily the shop was quiet but the two ladies who came in mid purchase were very patient so thank you too.
