Dolly area tidy up! 👶

This area is one of the most played with in the room and I’ve been looking for a storage unit to organise it better for a while! 🗃️ Imagine my delight when I walked into the charity shop yesterday and found this! 🤗 Easy to access for the children and plenty of space for all of the dolls and accessories 🙌🏻

My husband on the other hand was not so pleased when I turned the corner carrying this through Wakefield and having to squeeze it in the car 😂😂

At the beginning of February, on his due date, our little baby Alfie entered the world and completed the Johnson family unit 🫶🏻🩵

He unfortunately had a traumatic start, as he was postnatally diagnosed with CDH (Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia) and spent a month in Sheffield Children’s Hospital, having surgery at just 4 days old!

He is an absolute warrior and is doing really well! We are so happy to be all together at home now, adjusting to our new crazy life as a family of 5 🥰

Ivy, Maisie and Alfie can’t wait to meet all of our new children starting in the setting in September when I reopen! I feel very blessed that I am now practically full, thank you so much to all of those who have recommended me to people they know for this 🌈

Wednesday was my last working day of 2025 and until I return next September! I don’t even know where to begin with thanking the amazing parents and children who have been in my care since reopening in March 🥹😭

We have built some amazing relationships, bonds and my girls too are going to miss their friends coming to our house weekly! 🥰 We have been spoilt rotten and a huge thank you again to all of my parents for your thoughfulness, kindness and generosity, we truly do appreciate it ❤️

Merry Christmas Everyone 😘

Our week in pictures 🎄❤️

⭐️ Monday we spent the morning crafting for our calendars and keepsakes that all the children will take home next week!

✨ Tuesday we headed to our local family hub for a fun morning with another childminder, lots of fun resources and set ups to explore!

🎅🏻 Wednesday we had such a lovely morning at having breakfast with Santa! We had something to eat, had a chat with the big man himself, all the children received a lovely present and we did lots of colouring and stickers!

Rice, desiccated coconut & carrots with snowman drawn cups ❄️

On Monday we enjoyed our first trip to .forest.school 🌲🤎

We painted, played in the mud kitchen, made clay ornaments, decorated cards, put cars down shoots and played on the hoops & swings! 🎨

After all this the children enjoyed hot chocolate & marshmallows around the fire (and I had cheese melted on the fire with crackers and AF mulled wine 👌🏻) 🔥

It is a very lovely site and we will definitely be back! 🌈

I am thrilled, proud, overjoyed and just super happy to announce that in my recent inspection I received an ‘OUTSTANDING’ grading 🌈🥹❤️

After a very tough end to last year/start to this year, taking the leap to reopen and putting so much into it, it is so lovely to end the year as I go off on maternity with this fantastic news and such a lovely report 🥰

I have to say a big thanks to all of my amazing parents, of whom I have great relationships and partnerships with ✨ and to my husband for always being so so supportive 💪🏻 I always say, there’s a lot that goes into this job that people don’t see or know about, and this recognition is so appreciated ⭐

Scooping, pouring, mixing, tipping, peeling sprouts, splashing and having lots of fun 💦

A festive book of the day planned for the next four weeks! 🎁 The book will be linked to our activities or crafts for that day🎄I am wrapping them up just to add that extra bit of excitement 🤩

On Tuesday I had my second ever inspection!! ❤️🌈

I have been waiting for it to come before I went off on maternity leave and the day finally came! It is such a nerve wracking experience but the inspector made me feel so at ease and it was a good experience!

I am registered with a Childminding Agency (who are monitored by Ofsted) and the difference for me is that I am inspected every calendar year as opposed to every 4 years as when registered with Ofsted themselves ✅ The Agency provide me with lots of support & training which is why I chose this route! 😌

I have to wait until my inspection report comes through until I can share my outcome, which should be in about 10 days 🤭

Our last week of Autumn in the setting before we go full Christmas vibes 🍁🎄🎅❤️

A new addition to the room this morning ⭐ A pegboard which I’m currently using to display lots of themed vocabulary and our song of the week! 🌳
