Little Chicks Childcare

🎄🎅🏼 Christmas activities are in full swing 😀

🎄🎁🎅🏼 It's that time.... Our annual Christmas treat at Pennells, the children loved looking at all the Christmas bits and enjoyed a treat in the cafe, where once again, we were told how beautifully the children sat and behaved whilst having their drink and snack.
I'm very proud of them all 🥰

🎇 Fireworks Week! 🎇

This week has been full of oohs and aahs as we explored our firework theme through lots of messy, creative fun! ✨

💫 We explored with sparkling salt pictures, watching the colours spread like fireworks.
🎨 We got messy with paint printing to make colourful firework bursts.
🌈 Our coloured rice trays were perfect for scooping, pouring, and exploring textures.
🔥Then we made spaghetti bonfires, gluing and sticking bright flames together.

It’s been a week full of sensory play, creativity, and lots of excited little faces 💛

👻🎃 Love a spooky Halloween lunch 🎃👻

🍂 Autumn adventures with little explorers 🍁

Crunching through leaves, pockets full of treasures 🌰🍁
Climbing trees, sliding down muddy hills, laughing at the park
Every step a story, every leaf a masterpiece in the making 🧡

IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO KNOW!

Nursemaid's Elbow (also known as Pulled Elbow, Radial Head Dislocation, or Elbow Subluxation) is a common minor injury which affects children under 5 years.

Pulled elbow is a partial dislocation of the elbow. It's when the lower arm (radius) becomes partially dislocated of its normal position at the elbow joint. It occurs when a child is pulled/lifted by one hand or wrist, or swung around in a circle in play. It can occasionally occur after a fall.

Back to it this year & welcoming some new children 👶🏻

⛲👙🩳☀️ Keeping the tiddlers cool 🤽🏻‍♀️💦⛲

Today our toddlers went on a woodland adventure 🌻🌳.

We wandered through the woods collecting daisies, buttercups, forget-me-nots, and sprigs of cow parsley

Once home, we threaded our flowers into card flower pots, practicing our fine motor skills and making beautiful natural displays. 💚
