✨ And that’s a wrap on our first week back! ✨

Today, Reuben and Max had a lovely trip to Castle Espie 🦆🦢 where we went to see all the ducks and enjoy some fresh air and exploring. 🌿

Then it was home for some fun with some new toys 🧸🚂 before heading back out to the playpark! 🛝

Reuben had lots of fun running around and playing, while little Max enjoyed a well-deserved sleep after a busy day! 😴💙

It’s been such a lovely first week back, filled with adventures, fun and lots of happy little faces. 🥰

Bring on week two! 🌈💚

🌿 We’re back! 🌿

After a very special time away on maternity leave, I’m so excited to be returning to Laburnum Childminding — and this time, I’ll be bringing my beautiful new little boy, Max, along for the adventure! 💙👶🏼

It’s been such a precious time becoming a mum, making lots of memories and enjoying those newborn cuddles, but I’m really looking forward to getting back to what I love — providing a happy, fun and home-from-home environment for the children in my care. 🥰

Max is already looking forward to meeting all his new little friends and joining in with our adventures, outdoor play, crafts, sensory activities and lots of fun! 🌳🎨🧸

A huge thank you to all my families for your patience, support and lovely messages while I’ve been away. I can’t wait to see everyone again and start this exciting new chapter of Laburnum Childminding with Max by my side. 💚

Here’s to lots of happy memories, muddy adventures, messy crafts and plenty of cuddles! 🌿💙

Welcome back to Laburnum Childminding! 🥰
