Summer Holidays at Happy Bunnies 🐰💙

The summer holidays have been an emotional one here at Happy Bunnies, saying goodbye and good luck to my girls as they start their next exciting chapter. 🥹💗

But it’s also been a very busy and exciting time welcoming our new little Happy Bunnies! 🐰 They have settled into our routines so quickly, as if they have been coming here forever! 🥰

During the holidays, we’ve just gone with the flow, keeping things relaxed so the new little ones didn’t feel overwhelmed while they settled into their new surroundings and got to know everyone.
And one thing is definitely for sure… we all LOVE the great outdoors! 🌳🌿☀️ From walks and adventures to parks, exploring nature and simply enjoying the freedom to play outside, we’ve made the most of every opportunity.

It’s been a summer full of emotions, new beginnings, friendships, adventures and lots of happy memories. 💙🐰

Here’s to the next chapter at Happy Bunnies! 🥰✨

💛Reflection from Happy Bunnies Childminding Setting 💛

As I take a moment to reflect on my journey with Happy Bunnies Childminding Setting, my heart is filled with gratitude.

To every past and present parent and carer, thank you for placing your trust in me and choosing Happy Bunnies to care for your precious little ones. Entrusting someone with your child is one of the biggest decisions you'll ever make, and I never take that privilege for granted.

Happy Bunnies has always been more than just a childcare setting. It is a home-from-home where every child is welcomed with warmth, kindness, laughter, and endless cuddles. Each little bunny who walks through my door becomes part of our Happy Bunnies family, and I build such a special bond with every single one.

I feel incredibly lucky and truly blessed to spend my days watching your children grow in confidence, learn new skills, overcome challenges, make friendships, and develop into amazing little individuals. Being part of their early years is a privilege I cherish every day.

Of course, saying goodbye is never easy. Watching children move on to nursery or school is always emotional, but seeing them ready for their next adventure fills me with immense pride. Knowing I've played even a small part in helping them become happy, confident, and curious little learners makes everything worthwhile.

Thank you for every recommendation, every kind word, every smile, and for allowing me to be part of your family's journey. Your support means more than you know.

Here's to all the wonderful memories we've made together and to all the little bunnies still to come.

My heart is full, and I truly have the best job in the world.

With love and heartfelt thanks,

🐰 Denise

Over the past few weeks at Happy Bunnies Childminding, the children have thoroughly enjoyed exploring our exciting mini beasts topic.

This interest-led learning experience provided many opportunities for the girls to develop their curiosity, confidence, communication skills, and understanding of the natural world through hands-on play and meaningful discussions.

Throughout the topic, we explored a variety of mini beasts including worms, woodlice, millipedes, butterflies, ladybirds, frogs, tadpoles, and pond life. The children took part in lots of conversations about where mini beasts live, what they look like, and why they are important to nature. We used a range of story books, puzzles, and visual resources to support the children’s understanding and encourage questions and discussion.

The girls especially loved our nature walks where we searched for mini beasts in the local environment. They carefully explored leaves, grass, and pathways, showing excitement and curiosity when discovering worms, woodlice, and other creatures. These experiences encouraged the children to observe closely, use descriptive language, and develop respect for living things.

The girls demonstrated kindness and care by gently observing the creatures before safely returning them to their habitats.

Our sensory and curiosity play experiences were a huge success throughout the topic. The mini beast and frog themed tuff trays created wonderful opportunities for imaginative play, storytelling, counting, sorting, and sensory exploration. The girls enjoyed using natural materials, loose parts, water play, and small world resources to recreate mini beast habitats and life cycles. The frog and tadpole investigation activities sparked many conversations about change and growth in nature.

WAW!!! We have been busy🐝🐜🐌🪲🐞🐛🐸

Here at Happy Bunnies, the girls led our Easter adventures by asking if we could explore lots of different parks. Following their interests, I created our very own “Easter Bunnies Play Park Adventures Map,” which included a variety of parks we regularly visit, alongside some new and exciting ones to discover.
This has been a fantastic success, with the girls showing great enthusiasm and excitement as we tick off each location on our map. Although we have only managed to visit a small percentage so far, the experience has been so positive that we will be continuing our park adventures even after the Easter break.
These outings have provided wonderful opportunities for the girls to enjoy the outdoors, develop their physical skills, and build confidence through active play. They have also encouraged decision-making, curiosity, and a sense of achievement as they take part in planning and reflecting on our adventures.
A fun, child-led experience that we are all looking forward to continuing!

Over the Easter period, the girls at Happy Bunnies enjoyed a wide range of fun, engaging, and educational activities that supported their learning and development across different areas.
We explored the meaning of Easter through a variety of stories and group discussions, helping the girls to build their understanding while encouraging listening and communication skills. The girls showed great interest in sharing their thoughts and making connections to their own experiences.
A range of themed activities supported early learning, including name recognition games where children confidently identified and matched their names. Our Easter egg alphabet hunt was a big success, promoting letter recognition in a fun and active way as the girls searched outdoors for hidden eggs.
We also incorporated numeracy into our play through coloured rice activities, where girls explored numbers, counting, and colour recognition using sensory play. This provided great opportunities for fine motor development and imaginative exploration.
Creativity was encouraged through Easter bonnet decorating and nature-inspired Easter crafts. The girls enjoyed using a variety of materials to design their own creations, showing individuality and pride in their work. Outdoor play was a key focus, where we made the most of the fresh air while decorating natural Easter eggs and engaging in group games with friends, supporting social skills, teamwork, and physical development.
Overall, the Easter activities were a wonderful balance of learning and fun. The girls were fully engaged, developed new skills, and built on existing knowledge through meaningful play experiences. It was lovely to see their confidence grow as they explored, created, and celebrated together. 🌼🐣
