Carousel of Progress Childminding

The more I go through my works iPad the more gorgeous photos I find!! I have taken so many these last three weeks (I am talking hundreds!) we have had sooo much fun making memories and laughing together 😍

It’s so difficult picking a few! I am not sorry for all of these photos! 🤣😍 I have the most gorgeous families and mindees all part of the Carousel family!! 💛🥰

✨ New Friends, Big Smiles & Lots of Giggles ✨

One of the loveliest things about welcoming new friends is watching those first friendships begin to blossom. 💛

Over the last few weeks we’ve shared so many laughs together! From building cosy dens and popping up the tents, to climbing, exploring and burning off energy on the soft play and naming some new pet ants we found in the garden, there has been no shortage of fun. From babies learning to roll and pulling all of the cushions off the sofa playing the floor is lava! ☄️🌋

There have been plenty of giggles as we’ve shown off our best dance moves too… including some rather impressive breakdancing attempts! 🕺😂 The children’s laughter has been absolutely contagious, filling the room and putting smiles on everyone’s faces.

It’s been wonderful to watch the children grow in confidence, play alongside one another and create so many happy memories together. Sometimes the simplest moments bring the biggest smiles. ✨

Here’s to many more adventures, friendships and belly laughs to come! 🥰

“From hailstones in our hands to shields full of faith, we’ve packed lots of wonder into our week!” ✨💛🌈

We’ve been out shopping for fresh fruit, making new memories at Lilypads, listening to stories, dancing our socks off, enjoying yummy toast and fruit, and getting creative with our very own Shields of Faith. ✨

One particularly exciting moment came when the weather suddenly changed and hailstones began bouncing against the window! The children gathered to watch in amazement as they hit the glass. Sammy even braved the weather and popped outside to collect some so we could safely explore them indoors, feeling how cold they were and watching them slowly melt in our hands. ❄️👀

There has been plenty of exploring, sharing, chatting and discovering both at playgroup and back at the setting too. From little hands busy creating to little feet busy dancing, every day has been filled with curiosity, laughter and learning.

💛 Days like these are what childhood memories are made of.

📸 Just a few snapshots from our adventures!

🌈 There was lots of concentration, lots of sharing and even more giggles! 🌈

The children have been busy matching shapes, posting pieces, exploring colours and strengthening those all-important fine motor skills through play. Watching little hands carefully work things out and seeing friends play together so beautifully is always such a joy. 💛

There were proud smiles, helping hands and plenty of laughter filling the room today — exactly how learning should be! ✨

🌞 Just a few snapshots from our recent adventures… 🌞

We’ve been busy little bees enjoying the sunshine, running, exploring, playing games, making memories and having lots of giggles along the way. 💛

There have been races across the grass, golf clubs at the ready, friendships blossoming and plenty of opportunities to learn through play.

My camera roll is bursting, so consider this your warning… there are many more photos still to come! 📸✨

How lovely is this! Thank you so much Maddie at Maddie’s Groovy Cubs 🥰🥰🥰

Happy Childminding Week to three amazing women who I’m always so happy to recommend! 💛

Melissa, Alethea and Sammy are all fantastic local childminders who bring so much care, fun and experience to what they do. As former primary school teachers and mummies themselves, they really are the perfect combination ✨

We’re so lucky to have you in our community! 🫶🏽

📢Non uniform day next Friday! 📢
Wine, chocolates and jolly jars in return!

We love an extra-long weekend… the sunshine, the slower mornings, the extra adventures… absolute bliss ☀️✨

But coming back? Oh my goodness… what day is it?! 🤣

Tuesday feels like Monday, Monday felt like Sunday, and I’m fairly certain I asked my little ones what we’re doing “tomorrow” at least six times… today 😅

Routine is being restored, brains are rebooting, and we’re back to our usual mix of fun, laughter, and a slightly confused sense of time 🌀all to do it again in two weeks time! 🥰❤️

Wouldn’t change it though… long weekends, you can stay 💛

What a magical May Day fun fair it was! 🎠✨

So lovely to see so many familiar faces out enjoying the rides, laughter, and a little bit of that fairground sparkle 💛

Smiles all around, happy little carousellers, and memories made in the sunshine… just how it should be 🌸

It did make me giggle how lots of the little ones now associate our magical carousel bus to the fun fair with our logo on the front, back and sides 🤣🥰

Already looking forward to the next one! 🎡
