Over the next few weeks we will be working hard on our fine motor skills.
Fine motor is all about hand strength and building muscles in our hands to become strong writers ready for tricky jobs and school readiness!
We can do so many different types of play and every day jobs that can help to build muscles such as washing their own hands, opening food items, helping to mix or chop when making dinner, dressing and un******ng and lots more!

What a busy but quick week!
We have been enjoying lots of different play and focusing on our numeracy skills for national number day!
From counting nature items on our nature walk at Eastleigh lakeside country park, to learning about the numbers on the scales and matching to the baking recipe to make some yummy dairy free cheese scones for snack time, which of course to connect to our under the sea interest they had to be octopuses, mermaids and dolphin shaped!
This week we have had some amazing deeper meaning conversations from learning about how octopuses change colour to match their surroundings such as grey to match the rocks and coral, to talking about the sails boats on the water and how the kite high up with blowing in the wind to tell the sailors how to love their boats through the wind and even talking about why there was a man signing on the preschool learning video all about octopuses that we were exploring together.

And to end the half term, we celebrated one of our littles birthday! With jewellery making session and a party disco with disco lights, bubbles, scarves and danny go to end the day. ❤️
Hope you all have a fabulous half term! And see you all back on the 1st!!

Even closer for a special event, I’m still thinking of my littles ❤️ they have a special place in our hearts and homes ❤️

A letter from your childminder 🥰
A perfect share in
I found this poem a while back and thought it was just lovely 😍
Please, if you know the original author let me know/tag them so I can credit them ❤️
As beautiful as it is, it is not my work -

“I cried after you left, the first day you dropped your baby with me.
Not because it was hard,
Because I understood what you were trusting me with.

I know your child’s favourite song.
I know which stuffed animal they need at nap time.
I know the face they make right before they cry -
And I’m already moving toward them before it happens.

This home is also my home.
My family loves here. My children grow up here.
And every single day, I open the door and say
“Come in - you’re safe here too”.

I don’t clock out at 5.
I think about your kids at the supermarket.
I notice when something feels off.
I celebrate their firsts like they’re my own -
Because in this little world we’ve built, they kind of are.

So when you wonder if a childminder is worth it -
Know that the person you’ve chosen to watch your child
Actually loves them. Full stop ❤️
