This week we enjoyed a wonderful intergenerational visit to Kenwyn
❤️

The children loved spending time with the residents, sharing songs, stories, smiles and activities together. These visits provide such valuable experiences for our little ones — helping them develop confidence, kindness, communication skills and respect for older generations.

It’s so special to see the joy these interactions bring to both the children and residents, creating meaningful connections across generations within our community.

Thank you for making us feel so welcome — we’re already looking forward to our next visit! 🧩🎶📚

🚨 Important for childminders & families 🚨
The government petition is now live to protect the 10% wear and tear allowance for childminders.
This allowance recognises that our homes are our workplaces. The floors, furniture, gardens, toys, walls and equipment all take daily wear because of the work we do. Removing it puts even more pressure on an already stretched sector.
Many childminders support children who can’t cope in large settings, including children with SEND. Losing experienced childminders doesn’t just affect us, it affects families, children and local communities.
Please take a minute to sign and share the petition 👇
🔗 https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/754843
If this reaches 10,000 signatures the government must respond.
At 100,000 it can be debated in Parliament.
Every share really does matter. 💛

Can we think of any more reasons….

4. They operate at the heart of local communities, enabling parents to access childcare near to home/school/work for convenient commutes so they can maximise family time.​

A blast from the past!! What a surprise to see this photo on the front of ‘One’ magazine!!
These two are both now towering over me but still just as gorgeous ❤️

We were asked to be photographed on a day out at Knightshayes National Trust years ago for them to use for publicity which all our parents were happy with and our little group must still be a favourite with them!

LOST TEDDY found at Newton St Cyres park near the tennis courts.
He was looking a little sad so we’ve shared snack and he’s sat up the picnic table looking out for his family now
