Nicky's Childminding

Rather than buying the children a little gift for Christmas, I decided to make a donation to our local Fostering service. Hopefully we can make some children smile this Christmas

Straight into potion making this morning. The children enjoyed mixing, pouring, scooping, counting and colour sorting.

❤️ A big appreciation post for Nic ! ❤️

This lady works tirelessly to ensure the children have the best experiences , and is constantly upgrading resources and toys (yes, she has a big addiction to buying the children new toys and resources ! ;) ) to enhance the children's learning and ensure they have lots of fun whilst doing so !
She spent last weekend making the cabin into a soft play area ,has just bought loads of new resources and a lovely new double pushchair to make trips out easier .
She is also a master of completing courses and making sure that she is up to date with the current, ever changing legislation an guidance . She is also a constant source of support to me and lou .

To me , she is a bit of a hero ,( dont tell her I said so ;) ) .

So thank you for everything you do Nic ❤️

The children absolutely loved this sensory activity. Just black beans, scoops, jars and a few flowers. It kept them busy for well over 30 minutes. Sensory play can help build fine motor skills. Scooping, pouring, mixing and sorting can help strengthen hand muscles in preparation for writing. Also, any food used for sensory trays will be stored and re-used over and over again. This will help to teach the children about sustainability.

We have spent the day giving the cabin a bit of a rejig. We can't wait to welcome the children to our new soft play area.
