🥹❤️ AS ONE TERM ENDS, ANOTHER BEGINS… ❤️🥹

As we begin another new term, we say goodbye to the old term — and to a few of our little (not so little anymore 🥹) ones too, as they head off on their next big adventure… SCHOOL! 🎒📚❤️

To all of our little ones heading off to school, we are wishing you the BIGGEST good luck! ❤️ We know you’re going to absolutely smash it! 🥹👏🏼

Watching you grow, learn and become the little people you are today has been our absolute pleasure, and we feel so incredibly lucky to have been a part of your journey. ❤️ We are so thankful to all of the parents who have trusted us with your little ones and allowed us to watch them grow over the years. 🥹❤️

We hope you step into your new adventures with the fullest hearts, the biggest smiles and SO much excitement! ✨ And please, please don’t forget to pop back and see us… we’ll be waiting! 🥹❤️

A HUGE thank you for all of the beautiful gifts we have received. We have been truly overwhelmed by all of the love and thought that has gone into them. ❤️🎁 It really does mean more than you know.

And finally, thank you to our amazing parents for all of the love, support and trust you continue to show us. ❤️ We genuinely couldn’t do what we do without you, and we are so grateful for every single one of you. 🥹❤️

Here’s to new adventures, new friendships, lots of learning, plenty of fun and another amazing term! 🌈✨

GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF OUR SCHOOL LEAVERS — GO AND BE AMAZING! 🎒❤️🥹

HOW is the 6 weeks holiday over?! 😅🌞

Honestly, where has that gone?! We have had such a lovely time over the last 6 weeks, and every day has brought something new! ❤️

Of course, one of our favourite parts has been seeing all the little faces we’ve had over the years who are now at school. 🥹❤️ It’s so lovely to see how much they’ve grown and changed, and having them pop back to see us always makes our hearts so happy! 🥰

Over the 6 weeks we’ve been very busy with lots of exciting day trips out! We’ve been to the zoo 🦁🐒, the beach 🌊🏖️, the park 🌳, the library 📚 and the museum 🏛️, as well as enjoying lots of fun activities right here in the garden and cabin. ❤️

We’ve had our own little sports day 🏃‍♀️🏅, got creative with Play-Doh, completed puzzles, decorated biscuits 🍪, got stuck into lots of crafts and activities and so much more!

And of course… we HAVE to mention the water fight! 💦😂

The rule was very simple… you can have a water fight as long as you don’t get the adults.

Hmmm… yeah. 🤔😂

Long story short… DON’T TRUST CHILDREN WITH A WATER GUN! 😂😂😅 We definitely learnt that lesson the hard way! 🤣💦

I honestly can’t put into words how much fun we’ve had over the last 6 weeks or how many amazing memories we’ve made. ❤️ We’ve certainly made the most of every day!

We may have struggled at times with the extreme heat 🌞🥵 and, of course, the hosepipe ban 😅, but we made it work and found plenty of ways to keep the children entertained, happy and having fun whilst always keeping them safe. ❤️

A HUGE thank you to all of our lovely families for another amazing summer. 🥰

Now… who’s ready for the new term?! 😅📚❤️

🌊🏖️ WHAT A WAY TO END THE SUMMER! 🏖️🌊

We had a little trip to the seaside and what a lovely day we had!🥰

We started off with a trip to the arcades 🎰, before heading down to the beach for a stroll, making our footprints in the sand 👣 and, of course, collecting lots of beautiful seashells 🐚.

But the highlight of the day had to be when we came across a tiny baby crab! 🦀😍 The boys absolutely LOVED it and were completely fascinated watching it scuttle around!☺️ It’s safe to say we had some very excited little explorers!🫢

And because no seaside trip is complete without them… we had fish and chips AND an ice cream! 🍦🍟 I mean, it would be rude not to, right?!😉

Luckily, we even managed to get some half-decent British weather!😂☀️ No rain, happy children and lots of seaside memories made. What more could we ask for?❤️

A pretty perfect way to round off our summer adventures! 🌊🐚🦀✨

Oopsie… we’ve been a little behind on posting over the holidays! 😅 But don’t worry, we’re on it! ❤️

We’ve taken LOADS of pictures over the last few weeks of all the fun we’ve been getting up to, but honestly, we’ve been far too busy soaking up all the fun to actually sit down, edit them and post them! 😂

So, we thought this felt like a pretty good place to start… we went to the ZOO! 🐯🦁🐻

We had the BEST day and the children enjoyed it too! 😉😉❤️

We got to see so many amazing animals, and we were very lucky that most of them were awake and out for us to see! We were even lucky enough to feed the goats 🐐❤️

We also got to go into the bird sanctuary, with birds flying all around us! The children definitely enjoyed this one more than the adults… 😅🦜

But most importantly, we got to learn so much while having fun! ❤️

We learnt about how some of the animals are born, different breeds of birds and the different types of feathers they have, as well as lots of fun facts about the animals we saw. 🐦🦒🐘

And of course, we couldn’t leave without going on the train through the Dinosaur Park! 🦖🦕 The children DEFINITELY enjoyed this one!

After all that excitement, we stopped for a lovely bit of lunch at the café before heading off to the park for some more fun! 🛝❤️

Overall, we had the most wonderful little day trip, and the children really did learn so much in the best way possible — through exploring, experiencing and having fun! 🥰

It was a day full of laughter, excitement, curiosity and lots of lovely memories that we’ll be talking about for a while! ❤️

We’re already looking forward to our next adventure! 🥰✨

Another amazing week we’ve had! 🤍❤️

We packed so much into the week and had the best time together!

We started the week with some messy play using shaving foam. The children had so much fun making different shapes, clapping it between their hands, filling up buckets and, of course, chasing each other with it! 😂

This week we also spent some time learning about emotions. Using our emotion bears, the children were able to identify different feelings from the descriptions given to them and talk about how they might be feeling too. 💛

Out in the garden, we got the ribbons out to encourage lots of movement and coordination. The children loved making big circles, waving them high into the air and watching all of the beautiful colours dance around. 🌈

We also enjoyed a lovely trip down to the allotment to plant some cabbages. The children were completely in their element, getting stuck in, exploring all of the wonderful wildlife and admiring the plants growing around them. They even managed to squeeze in a few rides in the wheelbarrow! 😂🪏🧑🏽‍🌾👩🏽‍🌾🥬

Towards the end of the week, the sunshine finally made an appearance! ☀️ We couldn’t let it go to waste, so we cooled off with water guns (we can’t promise the adults didn’t join in too… 😂🤫) followed by some well-earned ice lollies. 🍦💦

The sunshine may have disappeared again for now, but we’re hoping for another bright and fun-filled week ahead!

Have a lovely week, everyone! 🤍❤️

Last week was a lovely week 🤍

First of all, I just want to say a massive thank you for all of my (Amy’s) birthday wishes, cards and presents. I was truly spoilt! 🥹 There was also a beautiful Victoria sponge… but it got demolished before I managed to take a picture! 😂 It was amazing! Thank you all so much for your kindness and generosity. We are so grateful and incredibly lucky to have such wonderful families supporting us. 🤍

Last week we spent some time completing puzzles, helping to develop the children’s memory, problem-solving skills and shape and number recognition. They did an amazing job matching all of the shapes and numbers to the correct places – we were so proud of them! 🤍

We also enjoyed learning about different occupations and the important jobs people do in our community. The children loved listening to the clues and matching them to the correct job. They all did brilliantly! 👩‍🚒👮‍♀️👩‍⚕️👨‍🍳🤍

Of course, we made the most of the slightly cooler weather and spent lots of time enjoying the garden. 🌞💨

We had a lovely trip to the museum, where there was lots to explore and discover. 🤍

Another highlight of the week was a visit to the park to feed the squirrels, which the children absolutely loved! 🐿️🤍

Here’s to another fun-filled week making memories and enjoying the sunshine! 🌞🤍

A little look at what we got up to last week 🥵🌞🤍

It was definitely a much more chilled week than usual as we all tried our best to stay cool in the heat! ☀️

We enjoyed lots of water play in the mornings before it became too hot, with plenty of fun in the paddling pool and water trays. Safe to say the children loved all the splashing! 💦😅

We also made some England biscuits ready for the football last week 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚽️

And of course… we couldn’t let a heatwave pass without treating ourselves to an ice cream! 🍦😋 It would’ve been rude not to!

It was certainly a challenging week for everyone with the high temperatures, so here’s hoping for a slightly cooler week ahead where we can get back to our usual adventures. 🤍

We hope you all managed to stay safe, keep cool, and enjoy the sunshine over the weekend. 🌞🤍

☀️❤️ HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! ❤️☀️

Last week our children made some beautiful crafts to give to their Dads and special father figures to celebrate Father’s Day. We hope you all loved them as much as we did! ❤️

We had a very busy week filled with lots of learning, exploring and fun!

🦷 We spent some time learning about the importance of brushing our teeth and the difference between healthy and unhealthy foods. The children loved reading stories and using the giant toothbrush to make the big teeth sparkle! ✨

⚽🏴 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿We also celebrated England! The children had so much fun dancing to football songs, waving their flags and getting excited about the decorations. The balloons were definitely a favourite! 🎈

🎂 We celebrated a very special little one’s birthday too! The cake was a huge success, and by the end there were plenty of chocolate-covered smiles, hands and faces! 😂🥹

🌞 We enjoyed a lovely trip to Ferry Meadows, making the most of the sunshine. We played with bubbles, enjoyed the park, kicked a football around and, of course, fed the ducks! 🦆

It really has been a wonderful week full of laughter, learning and making special memories together. 🤍✨

We’re excited to see what this week has in store… I have a feeling a paddling pool may be making an appearance! ☀️💦🥵

A little reminder to everyone during this warm weather:
💧 Keep hydrated
🧴 Apply plenty of sun cream
🧢 Wear hats where possible
🍦 And don’t forget an ice lolly or two when needed! 😜🤍

Have a lovely week everyone! ☀️✨🤍

✨ That’s another weekend flown by ✈️💨

But here’s a little look at what we got up to last week 🤍

We continued exploring shapes in lots of different ways. The children especially loved our active shape game, where they had to run and find the shape we called out! It was a great way to combine learning with movement and fun.

We also worked on memory skills using a matching game. Of course, the babies wanted to join in too, and from the arms in the air, you can tell someone was very proud of themselves after a successful turn 🥹🤍

There were plenty of dance parties throughout the week, and our favourite song was definitely Hop Little Bunnies 🐰🎶

The children enjoyed exploring a variety of musical instruments, learning how they work and the different sounds they make. We sang lots of nursery rhymes and played along using the instruments, creating our own little musical performances 🎵

We also used our learning mats to practise letters, and the children absolutely smashed it! We love seeing their confidence grow each week 🌟

Friday was our fun day! We headed to the pitch and putt where the children enjoyed playing the arcade games. They loved collecting tickets and were fantastic at trying new games and giving everything a go 🎟️⛳

On the way back, we stopped at the town park and were lucky enough to feed the squirrels. The children absolutely loved this experience! They carefully placed the nuts down and watched as the squirrels collected them before running off up the trees 🐿️🌳

What a wonderful week full of learning, laughter, exploration and fun. We can’t wait to see what this week brings!

🤍 Here’s to another amazing week ahead.

Officially halfway through the year… crazy! 🤯

The sun may have disappeared 🥲 but the fun certainly hasn’t 😋☔️

We still managed to squeeze in a little bit of garden play this week — because a little rain never stops us! 🌧️💚

We’ve done lots of learning this week too! We’ve been working hard on recognising letters and matching uppercase and lowercase letters 🔤✨

We’ve also been exploring emotions and talking about what makes us feel happy, sad, angry and everything in between 😊😢😡 The children did amazingly with this activity and had some lovely discussions ❤️

We’ve also been working on shapes and numbers this week 🔺🔵🔢 The children are absolutely smashing these activities and we are so proud of the progress they are making every single day 🥹🌟

We did have some dance parties in between🕺💃🏼

We were also lucky enough to make it out for a day trip too (thank goodness the rain held off for some end-of-week fun 😅🌤️). We explored the museum and looked at all the different topics they had available. Afterwards, we went to see the big dinosaur at the cathedral 🦖 There was so much to explore and we thoroughly enjoyed learning about all the different events that have happened throughout history!

Thank you all for another wonderful week 🤍

We hope you all have a blissful weekend full of fun 😜

See you all Monday 🤍
