Queen B Childminding

And that's a wrap 🥺

The last few years have been the most crazy, fun, heartwarming years that I will always remember ❤️ someone trusting and choosing me to look after their little baby is the most rewarding feeling I will ever experience. I still can't quite believe how well my little bee business took off! 26 new little sign ups, 26 times parents shared their little ones with me - I can never thank you all enough ❤️

I have made the most amazing friends, the little ones are officially part of the family and I have plenty of pro-parents to ask for help through the next chapter (how do you cope with not giving them back at 5pm?! 🤣)

Thank you for totally spoiling me; the presents, the cards, the beautiful words of praise ❤️ all your love has filled our house for the last 6 years. Thank you to the parents, thank you to the babies and thank you to Kiki for all the help and allowing the house to be so messy with toys and food and babies!! 🤣

See you all soon.. when I'm a mummy too!! 🥺🥰

What better way to spend a hot day than at the beach and in the pool 🌞

We had a lovely visit to Akamba Heritage Centre exploring the 'metal zoo' and the beach 🏖️ had a picnic at the park and came home to splashes in the pool! ❤️

Flapjack making today 😋

We loved the mixing, the smell from the cooking and the eating 😏

Such a beautiful day today with beautiful bluebells and friends ❤️ lots of fresh air, nature and exploring 🌞🌱🌺

We had such a lovely day at Birmingham Nature Centre yesterday! The cheeky monkeys particularly liked the cheeky monkeys 😄🐒
We had a walk around, looking at all the animals and ate our lunch next to the monkeys, then had a quick play in the soft play area before heading home 🏠🦜🐢🦁

It's spring time 🌱🌷🌸

We loved seeing all the flowers blooming at the park today, it was a lovely sunny trip ☀️

Hope you all had a lovely world book day! We took a trip to our local library and chose a few books to read. It was lovely and peaceful and the littles were spoilt for choice 📚
Definitely something we will be doing more often!

We've had a lovely week so far, we welcomed Sean into his Queen B journey, we went to gymnastics class and we of course had pancakes and chocolate today!! Just look at those chocolate faces!! 🍫 hope everyone is having some at home too 🥞

🎂🎉🎈We've had some delayed birthday celebrations this week!

Olivia turned 1, started walking and hasn't stopped talking in the space of a month. She never fails to make us all laugh 😄
Harper turned 2 and is the most polite, kind little lady who grows in confidence each week! 🥰

Balloons, cake making, singing and lots of smiles! ❤🐝

❤ I hope you all had the best love week ❤

We made some little love bug cards - cardboard tubes folded into hearts and some little finger print bugs ❤🐛

⭐ Fun at playgroup ⭐

Our lovely playgroup had a very inviting tray of oats and tools this week. The little ones used the tools to pour, fill, empty and move the oats around. We also did some paint printing and colouring to celebrate Chinese New Year 🐲🧧🧨

What might seem like just messy play actually has lots of benefits - the scooping and pouring helps develop motor skills, the fun of the mess encouraged concentration and exploring, scooping the outs and pouring them out increases hand eye coordination and lots more!

We never 'just' play - we play to learn 🤗

One of our favourite times is music time 🎶🥁🎸🔔

Band practice with the little bees is always full of noise, curiosity and laughter, we have a little more practice to go until we release our album. Watch this space 😄
