☀️ Summer break so far….

Taken a bit of an online break, I’ve put my phone down, taken less photos, I’ve worked less & I’ve spent more time with my daughters ❤️

Spent a lot of it poorly so far, but I’m taking time to rest and go slower.

Running a business is 24/7 and exhaustion creeps up on you. Grateful to have had this chance to slow down before it gets crazy again in September 🧡

My outdoor Summer Parties at The Pant have been so much fun so far!! 😍

We’ve been to Ponty Lido a couple of times ❤️, to the posh Odeon to watch Toy Story 5, we’ve used our NT membership for Dyrham Park & Dyffryn House, lots of time at home with our cats, pizza date in town after sorting the school uniform, Barry, Bodyboarding at Rest Bay, I dyed my eldest’s hair peepo deep blue, the girls have had friends round & done crafting together, a meal out with my bestest friends ❤️❤️…and yep screen time & naps!

Hope everyone is enjoying August ❤️
I know it’s a juggle in the school holidays for lots of us, I hope everyone is managing to have a bit of downtime too? Xx

2️⃣ ingredient taste safe Sensory Sand your babies, toddlers & children will love to play with at home!
Bringing my At the Beach party home 🏖️

🧡 Simple to make, it has a lovely texture you can make actual sandcastles out of! Hours of fun over the summer right here, just store it in an air tight tub so it’s ready to play with again & again!

👉All you need is one cup of vegetable oil & one bag of plain flour.
👉Bake the flour on a tray in the oven for 5-10 mins at 180°C to kill any bacteria & cool before using
👉Pop the flour into a large container or bowl, add the oil a bit at a time & mix until clumps form. It’s then ready to play! Simples!

🏖 Great for building fine motor skills with scooping & pouring, language skills as you chat & play & great for developing Sense of Touch with it’s beautiful texture

🧡 Indoors it’s best to pop a few towels down, then shake them outdoors before washing!
🧡 Outdoors you can just pop the container out and play, play, play!

👉 A small under bed storage box with lid works super well for this play, is inexpensive and can be used again and again for play times with other Sensory Play! You don’t need a tuff tray for Sensory Play at home 🧡

✅ Top tip - don’t add water to this play, it gets super oily!!

Will you have a go at home?

☀️ What can I say about yesterday?!
I had so much fun with everyone ‘at the beach’ 🏖️ at my second day of Summer Parties at the fabulous The Pantmawr Inn!

🎶 We danced, stretched & bounced to some of our Tots favourite songs, bounced my giant beach ball on the parachute, my youngest Tots took a trip under the sea to see the shiny fish under my 🐠 Sensory Canopy & we played hard in the garden 🌳 with my taste safe sand pits, sensory rockpools 🦀 & shark infested water play! Rounded off with lots of 🫧 bubbles to pop and open invites to stay for a 🧊 nice cold drink or some food - it was so lovely to see lots of you staying after each session and having a chat!!

🙌 Another really big thank you to Jen, the beautiful landlady who is so kind to me & a really big thank you to everyone who came!! I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed having you?!

I can’t wait for my last day of Summer Parties on the 25th August!! All welcome!! Only 8️⃣ spaces remaining, don’t miss your chance to come and play outside with me this summer ❤️❤️ Info on the link on my bio!

Thank you all so much for coming to my beach this year!! It was brilliant to have you all!!

The Sensory sand is ready for sandcastles🪣, the Sensory rice Rockpool is full of shells & creatures to explore 🦀, the water play has a new fountain but seems to now be infested with friendly sharks 🦈 🙀, the baby & toddler tuuuunes are ready for dancing and my parachute is clean, dry & ready for shaking….lets do this guys!! I’m excited!!

🏖️ Tomorrow’s summer parties are all fully booked!! Thank you SO much everyone!!
✅ Spaces available for my last day of parties this summer on the 25th August! Link on my bio with more info, all welcome!!

☀️ It’s going to be hot again tomorrow, so we’ll be chasing the shade round the garden and I’m bringing my gazebo to help!
🧊 Ice cold drinks available to purchase after sessions at the bar - why not stay for a drink and a chat inside/in the garden after your session!
😋 Lunch is served from midday if anyone would like to stay! Jen & her team would love to welcome you ❤️

🎶 Why do I ask you to help tidy up my crawler & toddler classes? Am I just being lazy?!

Teaching the Tots to tidy up after play time ends is a really important skill that translates from classes through to home, nursery, school & beyond.

Starting this from a young age helps the Tots to start to learn about taking (age appropriate!!) responsibility for their belongings and learn how to start to look after them.

They are so curious at this age about things round the house like tidying, sweeping etc & they love keys, remotes, phones etc because they see you doing it & using them and they love to imitate what you (& older children) do! They are simply fascinated!

So why not capitalise on this and encourage things like tidy up time at class and home - you can thank me later when they’re older and actually hang their coats & bags up rather than chucking them on the floor 😂 and help tidy to up at the end of the day!! 😉 🙌

Even if your Tot is too young to join in much with the class tidy up, they still love to try & they are learning so much from watching the older Tots and the adults join in!

So come and join in with the tidy up song at class! Everything I do at classes is for a reason ❤️ (and I always really appreciate your help!!) 😘

There’s a method to my madness, honest 🤪!!!

I can’t wait to be back at Caerleon Child Care & back to weekly classes next month!!

👀 These are the beautiful Nursery rooms inside our classes home at Caerleon Child Care Cardiff - Llanishen!

It’s a wonderfully welcoming Nursery, caring for tiny babies up to school age!
The staff are all absolutely wonderful & the children are really well looked after! They are led by the really excellent Manager Meg & her excellent senior team of staff ❤️ including lovely Jules who lots of you see at classes 😍

I am lucky to spend time with all of them around running my classes and I’m pleased to say how lovely they all are! (I am fully DBS checked, a standard part of my business, & Caerleon took character references for me before I moved in plus I’ve worked with them before, just in case anyone questions that! They are very thorough, just like me)

They have made me SO welcome this year, I want to help spread the word about them. (I am not on commission, I just like to help!)

🧡The older children have special supervised SWIMMING LESSONS over the road at Llanishen Leisure Centre, there’s PRIVATE PLAY TIME for the Nursery kids inside JUMP every morning, they offer TERM TIME ONLY places if you or your partner only work term time, they have regular OUTDOOR PLAY in the garden area and in school holidays our lovely classroom The Cwtch is transformed into SCHOOL HOLIDAY CLUB, where they have such a fab timetable of activities for school aged children!

🧡Their website is in the process of being updated after feedback from my lovely families and they collect their reviews on the Day Nurseries website, where every review on there is written by an actual family who have recently attended the Nursery so you can guarantee you are reading genuine feedback.

They offer no obligation tours, because you def need to have a look round to get a feel of a Nursery don’t you 😍& their phone number to arrange a tour or for any questions is 02920 763679!

I’m really happy to be able to highly recommend Caerleon Child Care - also as a Mum myself as my own children went here when they were little 😍

If you’re looking for a Nursery in the Llanishen area, why not check then out ❤️
