So I help to run a little toddler group Jack and Jill Toddlers with my two childminder friends and we’ve been given an opportunity by Nwkleus to run a wee spin off group once a month. So here it is Messy Mondays !
Come along and have some lovely messy fun. Do also pop along every Thursday to our toddlers and say hello !
🐰❤️🏡

Spread the word for our first Monthly Messy Monday Session which will be 🌈 Rainbow 🌈 themed on the 7th September!

Please note the community cafe will be available during our session however as this is a separate enterprise it is not included in our admission price. ☕️🫖🍵🧋🍽️

We can’t wait to see you all at our first monthly session 🤩

So many ways to tray !

Finally my order from April has arrived and we now have so many ways to tray play 😀

Plastic for sand, water and messy play, wicker and mirror/magnetic for floor play and discovery. High level and low level table play 🙃

These are going to work so well both in the house and outside under our gazebos, allowing us to play out in rain or sun ☀️ 🌧️

We were all her children ❤️

In 1984, Dolly Parton underwent a partial hysterectomy due to severe endometriosis complications, ending her private hope of having children.

She was thirty-eight years old, at the absolute height of her entertainment career, when the sudden medical emergency forced her into a deep, painful recovery. In the quiet months that followed, her husband Carl Dean stayed right by her side, helping her navigate severe depression and the grief of facing an empty nursery.

Years later, she chose to channel that unresolved ache into something that could reach far beyond her own living room.

In 1995, inspired by her father who had never learned to read, Dolly founded the Imagination Library in Sevier County, Tennessee. The program began by mailing one free, high-quality book each month to local children from birth to age five.

What started inside a single Appalachian county grew across state lines and eventually spanned five countries, mailing more than two hundred million books to young families.

She never had children of her own, yet millions of kids grew up finding her books waiting in their mailboxes each month. The early local deliveries, the quiet support from Carl Dean, and the logistics that turned a small mountain initiative into an international effort remain a remarkable chapter in her life.

Celebrating 10yrs childminding this weekend 🏡
I’d like to give a great big thank you to all the families I’ve had the pleasure of working with over this time, some who are now friends and family ❤️
It’s been an absolute joy to help your wee ones grow and flourish before they move onto school and I think about all of them daily and hope they are continuing to be awesome humans !
I would also like to thank my friends and family who have supported my childminding journey, through tears, tantrums, college and university and endless home improvements. I couldn’t do this without you 🥰
Lastly a big shout out to my eldest daughter for helping me update my logo for this occasion,having designed the original based on my love of Beatrix Potter and all things bunny 🐰. Thank you sweetheart, your talents are beyond measure 👩🏼‍🎨
If you’d like to share a memory or photo of your time at little hilltop that would be awesome 🐰❤️🏡
