Mimi's Childminding Carnforth

17/07/2026

❤️‍🩹 What an emotional week it's been saying goodbye to our school leavers and little ones.

💖 Thank you so much for all my wonderful families (past and present) who've chosen me to look after their little babies and helped them learn and grow!

💗 I'm going to miss seeing each and every one of them each week, but at least it's just t'ra for now and not goodbye for good as I'll be making sure to see you all around!

👶🏼 That's me signed off on maternity now until April when we'll see a new cohort of littlies joining our adventures.

📸 Here's a few snaps of our treat week.. Sports day, soft play, McDonald's, beach, Billy Bob's and Mookshack!

See you all again soon 🫶🏼

❤️ A FORTNIGHT OF FUN ❤️

🎈 We had a bit of a different week last week with it being half term, but we managed to squeeze in so much to our 3 days!
✨ We visited our favourite half-term spots, such as parks, the woods, library, and RSPB Leighton Moss where they had microscopes for us to look at bird feathers up close!
🎂 It was Mr Mimi's birthday over half term too, so the children baked him some chocolate cupcakes and sung him happy birthday!
🧑‍🍳We have 3 birthdays coming up in the next few weeks, so I feel as though we're going to have some expert bakers very soon
🫧 We even had a trip out to the car wash and the children giggled away as the sponges whizzed around and over us!

This week we've had a nice mix of playgroups, parks, crafts, dancing, stories, Yoto when the weather took a turn today! 🌧️

Well done little ones on another fantastic fortnight 👏

⛔ DON'T PANIC PARENTS - I love Childminding far too much to give it up and so I'll still be caring for your little ones Monday through Wednesday ⛔

🤩 But I do have some very exciting news to share with you all about what I'll be up to for the rest of the week 🤩

👶 In years of old, before going into teaching and eventually Childminding, I did my degree in Journalism and worked in marketing for many years

📝 Writing has been, and always will be, a big love of mine and so I've decided to branch out and begin marketing again. This time working for myself and specifically helping sole traders and micro businesses with generating leads and gaining more customers 🛍️

📣 I'd really appreciate a like and a share of my page Mimi Marketing and please get in touch with that page if you're interested in marketing (this one remains solely for childcare) 😊

Some of the ways I can help you and your small business:
✅ Website content
✅ Press releases
✅ Blogs
✅ Social Media Marketing
✅ Paid online advertising
✅ Print copy for adverts and leaflets
✅ Marketing consultancy

🌈 JANUARY ROUND UP 🌈

(and a little bit of Feb...)

🤫 Controversial but I actually quite like January. When that winter sun is shining it's just.. 👌

This month we've spent an awful lot of time:
🌧️Jumping in puddles
🛝 Keeping cosy at playgroups
🧺 Eating Al fresco
🌳 Exploring wildlife and nature - we've loved seeing snowdrops starting to bloom!
🚶 Going on nature and listening walks
👫 Meeting up with friends
🐑 Visiting the farm and feeding the animals
🐦 Looking out for birds in our bird watch!

💪 We're all smashing our next steps too. Some examples of what our our minis are up to: learning 3d shape names, learning to stand, stringing 2 to 3 words together, and growing in confidence exploring independently.

👏 Well done superstars!

See you next week 🫶
