🌈self registration - when our littlest arrive this table is waiting for them by the door to the playroom. They can find their own log slice with their name and their picture on and hang it on our 'tree'. We also read through the affirmations (which were gifted by a lovely parent to us!) together!
This small but important start to the day helps children:
- Develop a sense of self
- Being to recognise their name
- Feel like a valued and important member of our childminding family

Today we spent the day completely immersed in nature at the . We've all come home feeling so much calmer and more content than when we left this morning.
The children had freedom to explore in a safe environment without feeling like they were being watched, and showed some lovely team work with new friends that they made.
The butterfly house 🦋 was a huge hit and they listened carefully and were incredibly gentle when handling them

Today we made some beautiful nature playdough. We weighed, counted, mixed and kneaded. Then we foraged beautiful flowers and herbs from the garden and added them to the mix. I can't wait to see how it gets used in their play tomorrow. 🌼
