Jodi's Childminding

Today has been inspired by it being David Attenborough’s birthday. 100 years old, Wow Happy Birthday to you Sir 🥳 💯

Can you guess which is the warmest 😂

We would like to thank our amazing parents for helping their children design such beautiful Easter bonnets. They’ve really enjoyed showing them all off to their friends.

Since there has been a number of recent meningitis cases in Kent. Now is a good time to remind people of the signs and symptoms to look out for.

Fun was had by all.

We’ve also enjoyed a few activities around some of our favourite stories for Story Telling week.

🚨 PLEASE READ & SUPPORT CHILDCARE 🚨

The government are planning to remove the 10% wear and tear allowance for childminders – and this will have a huge impact on small, home-based childcare settings like ours.

That 10% isn’t “extra money” – it helps cover the real costs of running a setting from our own homes: heating on all day, electricity, water, cleaning, replacing worn toys and furniture, garden equipment, flooring, paint, and the general wear that comes with busy little feet and hands every single day.

Without it, many childminders will be left with higher bills, more paperwork, and less income, at a time when costs are already rising and funding is stretched. For some, it could be the final push that makes their business no longer sustainable – meaning fewer childcare places for families who rely on flexible, home-from-home care.

There is a government petition to stop this change, and it needs as many signatures as possible to be heard.

Please take a moment to sign, share, and support your local childminders – because when childminders are forced out, families and children lose too. 💔👶🧸
