And just like that, summer is over! It’s been a whirlwind couple of months, but an emotional one too. Over the last few weeks, we’ve waved goodbye to quite a few of our little (and not-so-little) friends as they head off on their next big adventures. It’s easily the hardest part of childminding. Running a home-from-home setting means these children become such a big part of our family, and letting go is never easy. Reading through these beautiful cards and kind words from some families has meant the absolute world to me. Thank you so much for trusting me with your little ones—we’re going to miss them dearly. And remember little ones, in all that you do, be brave, be bold and always be you! 🌈

The children were very excited to see what we have growing! They have worked very hard planting and watering our plants to see what we can grow. It's a learning journey for all of us and although some things have not made it, we haven't let that stop us and we are looking forward to trying them again next year. Next step, the taste test! Growing our own fruit and vegetables is a great way to get children to explore some fruit and vegetables and take pride in their finished piece

Learning doesn't have to happen in the classroom, there's lots to learn from real life experiences too. Today we had a little trip to a local coffee shop. The children were very happy with their babycinos and it's always lovely when strangers comment on how lovely and well behaved the children are ☺️ from experiences like this, children are able to develop their personal, social and emotion development, communication and language and physical development. We were learning how to behave in social situations, safety around hot drinks and cutlery, how to have conversations with each other, using our hand eye coordination to drink full drinks from open cups, all whilst trying a new experience with our friends. We are already looking forward to another trip sometime soon!

Attention Childcare providers!

Do you work with young children?
Are you a carer, playgroup, nursery, childminder, foster carer, social worker or anyone else who works with babies, toddlers and young children?

If the answer is “Yes” we are encouraging you to stand with us this rear facing month and asking if you would like to help spread the work to keep our little ones safer for longer.

Display this poster below in receptions, doorways, FB pages, shop windows, community centres etc.
This all helps to keep parents informed with the facts and scientific data we now know.

Let’s stand together this rear facing month, and keep kids rear facing to the MINIMUM age of 4yo.

(PM me if you would like a better quality image to display)

I have fixed the cropping now.

We had another busy week last week. We are enjoying the lovely weather and all the park trips, getting to explore the outdoors and really show off how our gross motor skills are developing, climbing and jumping! The children are all loving the latest addition, Chewie the hamster! It's a great way to teach the children empathy and being gentle. They've also enjoyed getting messy in the mud kitchen, using their imagination to make mud tattoos and potions as well as planting some lovely colourful flowers to brighten up the garden and help our very important bees. A great opportunity to learn about how the world works. We've also been practicing using scissors. They're a tricky skill to learn so the more we practice, the better we get and improve our fine motor skills and hand eye coordination and the easier it will get ☺️

It's been a busy Easter Holidays at Nanny Netty Childminding ! We've been crafting, planting, gymnastics, farm visit, first picnics of the year and much more! The children have very much enjoyed the sunshine we've had and all the extra fresh air we've been able to get as a result. The children got to meet some animals and learn how to handle them. Their gross motor skills have been very well used with lots of climbing and jumping around gymnastics and the parks as well as a few mini discos at home. We look forward to seeing how our tomatoes grow along with our potatoes from the other day and don't forget tasting them. Next month, cucumbers! We have some availability coming up in September for a Tues, Thurs and Fri space. If you know anyone looking for a childminder, don't forget to tag them/send them my page!

It is soon coming to the time of year when some little ones move onto their next adventure! 🎓 This means from September, I have some availability coming up.
At Nanny Netty's Childminding, we pride ourselves on being a "home-from-home" setting. Here, children don't just learn and grow—they become part of the family, take part in real-life experiences, and (most importantly!) have a lot of fun. If this sounds like a setting that would suit your family, I'd love to hear from you! Send me a message ☺️
PS I've attached some photos of what we've been up to the last few weeks. It's been busy!
