We love celebrating birthdays 🎈 🎊
My little ones have such a lovely relationship with the school children and on Friday they all worked together to bake a birthday cake for one of the schoolies. This is what makes a childminding setting so special, an extended family if you will and a real home from home environment with strong relationships being built amongst all ages ❤️

🌳There's something different about reading stories outside, the children seem to be more engaged, asking questions and then listening intently to the story books. We love storytime in the garden🌳

Who else has enjoyed the Gruffalo Granny this week?! 🤎
It's been an absolute hit in our household and my little ones, aged 1-4, created some amazing Gruffalos of their own!
We looked at body parts and colours as well as speaking about different family members in conversation too 🤎

The Solar Eclipse was a real talking point amongst the children yesterday. They enjoyed sharing their stories of the different ways they were able to watch it and then created some wonderful chalk pictures too 🌙 ☀️

"The Original Crew" ☺️

I've been childminding for almost 10 years now and over this time I've been SO fortunate to barely lose any families (I can't seem to get rid of them😜🤣)!!

A couple of years ago I lost two of my "regulars" due to a house move and they've been missed immensely by both my own children and childminding family. .

Friday they came to visit and it was like they'd never been away. Smiles all round. What a lovely afternoon we had ❤️❤️

🍴🍽️What's on your menus this week ?🍽️🍴

Spaghetti Bolognese is an absolute favourite here, the children love it so much I've cooked it twice in a week!!

Reasons I love cooking and providing food?

🫜 I can add SO many vegetables to meals
🍅 Eating and socialising around the table is the perfect time to catch up with one another about our day as well as learning lots of manners
🥒 I'm sometimes able to bulk cook and save for the next day/freeze for a later date
🥕 The children function SO much better with a good, healthy nutritious meal inside of them
🧅 Teaches healthy eating habits and routines
🥦 Enables me to provide that real home from home environment, children see me cooking, help with cooking and enjoy the whole process!!

🌿☀️The summer holidays are about switching off and giving children a "brain break". They don't need a crammed routine full of constant days out and pressure, they need to truly relax and be free.

☀️There's a whole lot of children playing ninjas in here somewhere! Listening to children play and letting their imaginations run wild is hugely satisfying and exactly how I believe summers should be spent. It's another reason why the mix of ages in a childminding setting works so well too ☀️

🌿*Don't worry, the super little ones were exploring alongside this with me 🌿☀️

🎵🎶 Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic 🎵🎶

We love discovering new places and our latest find is a good one.... A little woodland just 10 minutes walk away from home. The children have had the best time exploring here, enjoying picnics and building dens. I think it's safe to say we will be enjoying lots of our summer days in the shade of woods letting the children be children 🌳🐿️
