Coco’s Adventures Childminding

🌞 Half Term Update 🌞

I am now FULLY BOOKED for this half term week and can’t take any more bookings including ad-hoc bookings. Thank you so much to everyone who booked in! 💛

I’m so excited for a week ahead full of fun, adventures, laughter, and sunshine with all my little people ☀️🥰

Wishing everyone a lovely half term week!

🌸 Just a friendly reminder 🌸

Coco’s Adventures Childminding will be closed from Monday 1st June for 2 weeks. During this time, all children will be unable to attend.

Thank you so much for your understanding and continued support 💖

I look forward to welcoming all of the children back for more adventures when I return! ✨

What a lovely few weeks we’ve had here at Coco’s Adventures Childminding ☀️💛

We’ve been out and about making wonderful memories with trips to Denby Pottery Village, Elvaston Castle, Tubby Bears Play Centre and Alvaston Park. We also had a fantastic time at Rhythm and Rhyme at Danceworks Unlimited in Spondon 🎶

The children have really enjoyed lots of meet ups with other lovely childminders and their wonderful children too, it’s so lovely to see the friendships and confidence growing each week 🥰

Recently we’ve been focusing on counting to 5 and learning the difference between big and small through lots of fun activities and play-based learning. Our favourite story this week has been Jack and the Beanstalk🌱 and our song of the week has definitely been Wind the Bobbin Up with plenty of actions and giggles along the way!

The sunny weather has meant lots of outdoor fun and the children have absolutely loved our new water play toy 💦☀️

And to top it all off, we had another very exciting delivery today… building materials have arrived ready for the groundwork to begin on our new garden building! I cannot wait to create even more fun, learning and special memories in our new space 🏡✨

I’m still loving absolutely everything about this job and I honestly don’t think I’ll ever get over the fact that this is what I get paid to do ❤️

My little adventurers at Cocos Adventures Childminding now have their very own brand new hi-vis vests! 💛 Designed especially for my little people, these will help keep everyone safe and easy to spot while we’re out exploring the world around us.

We can’t wait to see them wearing them on our daily adventures, whether it’s trips to the park, nature walks, or exploring our local community 🌿

Safety, fun, and adventure always come first here at Cocos Adventures! Stay tuned for lots of photos of our little explorers in action 📸

A Big thank you to Hamiltons Embroidery for always providing the best quality personalised garments for my little business. Highly recommended 🫶🏻.

🌞 Warm Weather Update from Coco’s Adventures Childminding 🌞

As the warmer weather arrives, we’ll be making the most of the sunshine while keeping your little ones safe, happy, and comfortable 💛

At Coco’s Adventures, I will be:
☀️ Encouraging lots of play in the shade
💧 Providing plenty of fluids and regular water breaks throughout the day
🧴 Applying sun cream regularly to protect delicate skin
👒 Supporting children to wear sun hats during outdoor play
🏡 Taking all steps to keep the house cool and comfortable indoors

🌿 What I need from you:
Please ensure your child has a sun hat in their bag every day so they can stay protected while we enjoy outdoor activities.

My priority is always to create a safe, caring, and fun environment, whatever the weather ☀️

Thank you for your support! 💕

We’ve been making the most of the beautiful sunshine here at Coco’s Adventures Childminding 🌞
and just had to share a little glimpse of our fun filled days with you all!

The children have been absolutely loving our water and sand play in the garden splashing, pouring, digging, building, and exploring. These activities aren’t just fun (although there’s plenty of that!), they also support all the Prime Areas of Learning within the EYFS. From developing communication and language as we chat and describe what we’re doing, to building physical skills through scooping, pouring, and fine motor control, and strengthening personal, social and emotional development as the children play together, share, and grow in confidence.

It’s been so lovely to see how settled and happy the children are becoming. They are forming friendships, exploring their environment with curiosity, and growing in independence every day. I honestly couldn’t be prouder of each and every one of them 💛

We’ve been having so much fun, we just had to share it with you all!

Shortlist underway! No more enquiries accepted from now ✨❤️ thank you for so much interest 🫶🏻
