💕Welcome to the summer term 💕

After a little Easter break we are back and ready to start our summer term 💕 I am certainly ready for the warm sunny days to arrive ☀️ As always we have lots of fun things planned which will of course include our classes and our care home visits 🩷
I’m not ready for my biggest children to be leaving me at the end of the term ready to start their next adventure onto big school 😢 but lots of exciting celebrations are currently in planning 🩷

A reminder I will be closed on Wednesday 13th May as we celebrate Caitlin’s 18th birthday 🥳
Also closed for 1 week 6th - 10th July 💕

🩷 Wilford View Care Home 🩷

Another wonderful morning spent with the residents of our local care home.

When young children and elderly people spend time together, both groups benefit in meaningful ways — emotionally, socially, and even physically 💕

☀️Who doesn’t enjoy a walk to the park in the sunshine ☀️

We spent a lovely morning with the residents of Wilford View Care Home. It’s lovely to hear that the residents have been asking when the children are coming back in to see them 💕

💕LifeVac💕

Recently I received an amazing donation of a LifeVac from .

This incredible device was inspired by the story of Oliver Steeper, a young boy who tragically passed away after choking at nursery.

While it won't replace my first aid training, it's a vital backup in case standard procedures fail. I've completed the training and will keep it up to date yearly.

My top priority is always the safety and well-being of the children in my care and having this LifeVac will give me that extra peace of mind in the event of a choking emergency 💕

🐸Hippy Hoppers🐸

Hippy the frog is the new star of our Hippy Hoppers classes!
My tiny dancers love to wiggle and jiggle, and these sessions give them the room they need to shine. We love Miss Talia, and her classes have been a confidence-builder for all of them 💕
