Inspire Childcare Play Education

We had the loveliest session outside in the sunshine this morning. This weeks session was based around the story of Thelma the unicorn 🦄 We made magic wands, explored leaf rubbing, played leaf snap and created our own unicorns from magical pink play dough 🩷

Check out these cuties that we made for Hedgehog Awareness Week 🦔 We talked about ways we can help hedgehogs and also shared some photos that a parent had sent in from their nature camera of a hedgehog at the bottom of their garden!

We had such a fun Spanish session with Joy 💙

We loved our Easter themed session with Ruth 💚

So true 🥰

🌟 A huge shout out to the unsung heroes of the school holidays… the incredible children of childminders! 🌟

While everyone celebrates the amazing work childminders do (and rightly so!) — there’s a group of quiet heroes who don’t always get the credit they deserve.

These amazing kids share their mums and dads every single day — with babies, toddlers, big kids, and everyone in between 👶🧒👧
They open their homes, their toys, their space… and most importantly, their hearts ❤️

🌟 They become bonus siblings, best friends, peacekeepers, entertainers, snack buddies, and cuddle givers 🧸🍪🎨

They show patience when things are noisy 🔊
Kindness when others need a friend 🤝
And flexibility when their routines get shuffled ⏰

They’re the glue that helps hold it all together —
the smiling faces, the helping hands, the big-hearted legends ✨

They often wait quietly while someone else’s needs are met first — coming second more than they should sometimes 🫣 — and still show up with love ❤️

🥰 So here’s to you, my own beautiful children, and all the childminder children out there — the true heroes of the school holidays 💪
We see you, we appreciate you, and we think you’re absolutely amazing!

Another fab session today 🍁 🦊

Cosy treats to warm us up at snack time ☕️ 🍪

Christmas is slowly creeping its way into the playroom…

Making paper chains was a popular activity this week and a perfect way to work on our fine motor skills 🖐️

We used yellow leaves that we found on our morning walk to decorate our Pudsey pictures 💛

Fingerprint poppies for our Remembrance Day activity ❤️

The best time at the park with our friends 💚

Lots of fun at this weeks squirrel themed session with 🧡
