Recently Pre-School have taken a real interest in exploring οΏΌmultiple messy plays... πŸ’œπŸ’šπŸ’™

Today the children chose to explore different coloured paint mixed with shaving foam. 🎨

After coving our hands in β€œpink foam” we found it very amusing giving our friends high fives πŸ˜‚ It’s fair to say the ceiling/walls had a slight makeover! πŸ™ˆπŸ₯°πŸ‘πŸΌ
Tomorrow is our Easter Bonnet parade... β˜€οΈ

We can’t wait to see your wonderful creations! πŸ’›

There are some very exciting prizes to be won...🐰🍫
On today’s lunch menu... πŸ’œπŸ’šπŸ’™

Our homemade (very famous) tuna balls served with couscous, vegetables and a rich garlic, tomato and herb sauce!
Our β€˜Moments to celebrate’ board at Footsteps... ⭐️

Please make sure you tell us all of the wonderful things your little one is getting up to at home so we can encourage and celebrate progress here at Footsteps!

Last week all staff chose two β€˜wow moments’ per room that stood out to be added onto our new board... We are so excited to continue to add more β€˜wow moments’ and would love your input!!! πŸ’œπŸ’šπŸ’™
And the grand total is...

Β£323!!!

All raised last Saturday for the wonderful Macmillan Cancer Support πŸ’š

Thank you so much to our fantastic Footsteps family # # #

We really appreciate all of your support, kind words and generosity. This morning couldn’t have gone any better, it really was a fantastic turn out! We are so pleased at how many brilliant families joined us to celebrate the wonderful Macmillan Cancer Support πŸ§πŸ‘¨β€πŸ‘©β€πŸ‘¦β€πŸ‘¦πŸ«– How lucky are we to have such a fabulous Footsteps family?!

The final total will be announced next week and donated as soon as possible. Let’s just say the total is over Β£200!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you...πŸ’œπŸ’šπŸ’™

(We are aware some of you would like to add to our donation tins next week, please speak to a member of the team if you’d like to do the same) # # #
Polite reminder of our coffee morning... πŸ«–πŸ§

We’re fundraising for the very important Macmillan Cancer Support πŸ’š

We can wait to see you today between 9:30-11:30 πŸ₯°
Today we got to meet baby Freddie and welcomed Amy back for her first visit since having baby number two... They’re both doing amazingly!

Freddie also got to meet Natalie’s baby, Isla πŸ₯°

We all enjoyed lots of baby cuddles πŸ’œπŸ’šπŸ’™
I popped into every room this morning and captured lots of brilliant activities going on... πŸ“Έ

πŸ’œ Our Baby Room were having the best time exploring couscous with cups and spoons, so yummy!

πŸ’š The Little Toddler room were having a splashing time in the water whilst smelling beautiful flowers!

πŸ’™ Our Big Toddler children were practicing their fine motor skills whilst threading with Cheerios!

πŸ₯° Pre-School loved getting messy with paint, they really enjoyed hand printing and discovering what sea animals they could find in our large water tray!
As the end of the day approaches I grab my bag from the office to go home... The window was open and I could hear nothing but giggles, birds chirping and beautiful singing... πŸ‘πŸΌβœ¨πŸ₯°

I had to οΏΌcapture and share this priceless moment β˜€οΈ

Have a lovely evening everyone πŸ’œπŸ’šπŸ’™
We’re so lucky to have such a beautiful garden πŸͺ΄

Our new resources are wonderful!!!

Endless amounts of fun to be made at Footsteps πŸ’œπŸ’šπŸ’™

Good morning all β˜€οΈ

Polite reminder… πŸ§΄πŸ‘’

Please make sure your little one has sun cream on before arriving to nursery and the named bottled is left in their bag for top ups throughout the day. (I know some will be using nursery cream, don’t panic we have lots) 😊 Please also make sure your child has a named sun hat too!

It’s very important we work together to keep your little ones safe in this heat whilst still getting to enjoy garden play at appropriate times, thank you β˜€οΈ

Hi my name is Stevie, I started my Footsteps journey in 2014 as a parent and more recently as part of the Footsteps team! I am Level 2 qualified and am currently studying my Level 3 in childcare to progress further with my career. 😊

Working with children has always been my goal, growing up I was OBSESSED with stationary and wanted to be a teacher. I have worked in various Early Years settings for almost 12 years now and am very passionate about my job, the children, and helping them reach their milestones. I want to continue to progress in learning about additional needs once I complete my Level 3 qualification. I completed my SENCO training as my youngest brother was diagnosed with Autism and ADHD. This made me want to understand him better and to be able to offer him support. This is something I’m really passionate about.

When I'm not working I am caring for my three girls aged 5-11, 3 rabbits, 2 hamsters and seven fish... Who likes resting anyways 🀣

I am an active person, I enjoy creative activities with children and love any physical activities with them too! I’m currently in the Big Toddler room and I’m really enjoying getting to know everyone at the moment. Can’t wait to see where my footsteps journey takes me πŸ’œπŸ’šπŸ’™πŸ‘£
