Donna's Childminding Great Brington Northampton

Here we are in June, more Spanish lessons, learning Hello, goodbye, counting, colours and pirates, Kidslingo is a great way for little ones to learn new languages 🥰.

We have welcomed more newbies into the setting after taking on my first assistant 🥰. All have settled well.

June has been a very hot one with the heat waves starting, we have made the most of the weather with lots of water play, bubbles, bubbles and more bubbles, washing everything in sight and much much more.

June is bitter sweet as its the realisation some of the little ones are moving onto school soon so my time with some is almost at an end 🙈, we also have our newbies so the cycle starts again ❤️

I really do love what I do 🥰🥰❤️🎉

A bit of a catch up:

May: During May there was a lot of investment, I purchased a Mud Kitchen aswell as many other new resources but the Mud Kitchen is a firm favourite already here. We also had our Spanish lessons another favourite with the children, we visited farms, had several animal encounters with animals on our laps aswell as the wild variety.

We also visited forest school at Delapre F**a Abbey, another thing the children loved.

May has been very busy indeed, more friendships made, lots of fun had, little ones growing up.......

Thank you for a fun packed May.....onto June we go 🥰

During April, we covered Easter, why we celebrate Easter, what Easter means (not just the chocolate,). We have covered a lot of independent skills aswell as healthy eating and how to keep our teeth healthy too to name a few subjects.

We also spent a lot of time outdoors as the weather has been lovely and attended a few classes here and there.

We have been wildlife watching with snails and celebrated a birthday or 2.

Im so proud of each and every one of your children, they try everything that gets put in front of them and they always try their best.

Ive been looking at other classes recently too, so cooking will be coming back to our weekly sessions, local toddler groups, messy play including forest school and kidslingo classes too. Im excited for the summer term, we sadly have had a couple of children leave but we have also had a couple return and slot right back into our routine, plus some new starters too, busy, busy, busy.

April you have been awesome, onto May we go..... 🥰

March has been about springtime, we read about springtime, checked out how we know its springtime, what is different about spring when we compare it to summer etc and so much more.

We grew beans because who doesnt love observing a growing bean into a sprouting bean for planting 👍, we cuddled a lot as we do with our friends not because they are sad specifically, just because that's what we do here, we never refuse a cuddle offered 🥰🥰.

We made marks & potions, we saw lots of lady birds, we learned about flowers and birds, made lovely gifts for our Mummy's on Mothers day and if thst wasnt enough, observed farm animals and modes of transport on the school run.

Phew so much to fit in, so little time 🙈🤣🥰, onto April we go

Thank you to you all for your continued kindness sending your children here to me, I love the growth, the independence, the inquisitive nature of them all and I get the best snuggles and high fives 🥰😊

Easter weekend, visiting family. I do get to have a break on the odd occassion too. Happy Easter everyone 🐣 whatever you are doing or have done, I hope you all have made lots of lovely memories 😍🥰 see you all soon.
