Adele’s Little Angels

Can everyone please update their knowledge of the difference between a sore throat and Strep A 💗

So heartbreaking the amount of young children losing their lives to this horrible illness ☹️

Santa’s little helpers 🎅🏼🎄

Over the last week the children and I have been preparing our setting ready for Santa Claus’ arrival 🥰 the children participated in decorating the Christmas tree, colouring in our very own snowmen for our displays and plenty of Christmas story times.

Up until Christmas I have plenty of exciting activities planned for the children to carry out in order to get them excited for Santa 🥰💗

Ho Ho Hooooooooo 🎅🏼

Spaces Available ✨

I am now taking on new child care packages to begin in the new year 💗 I welcome all children with warm loving arms into my environment which is a space for learning and development.

Please could everyone share the word ✨

Thank you,
Adele 💗

Children In Need 💛💚

There are currently over 404,310 children in need… an absolutely heart breaking statistic.

In order to raise awareness around Children In Need I believe it is essential to start from such a young age. The children at my setting now have a basic understanding of Children In Need. To gain knowledge we:
💛 Painted Pudsey Bear’s spots
💚 Counted Pudsey Bear’s spots
💛 Drew pictures of Pudsey Bear
💚 Coloured pictures of Pudsey Bear
💛 Dressed up in Pudsey Bear outfits

Please remember to donate to help The Children In Need 💛💚

Poppy, poppy what do you say?
Wear me on Remembrance Day 🌹

Poppy, poppy what do you tell?
Many Soldiers in battle fell 🌹

Poppy, poppy what should we know?
The peace on earth shall grow, and grow, and grow🌹

Rememberance day is a special day in everyone’s hearts that the children should be aware of in their early years. In order to gain recognition and build awaresss, the children took part in many activities like drawing and colouring poppys, painting on the windows and learning poems surrounding Remembrance day ❤️🌹

Be a childminder they said! It will be great they said!!!
Catch every bug going!! They never said 😂😂😂😂😂

Freaky Fridays 👻 🎃

Our freaky Friday has been been fun filled completing activities all in preparation for Halloweeeeeeeeen 👻 this included drawing, colouring, painting, glueing and sticking all our favourite spooky characters 🎃

Hope my little angels have a safe weekend dressed in their spectacular outfits for a spooky trick or treat session… 🧹🧙🏼‍♀️

One space available to start please get in touch for more Info and books are already open for January onwards 💙❤️

What a lovely morning we had at the park, splashing in muddy puddles and running lots of energy off.Mc Donald’s treat for lunch 😆. Lots of fun and happy faces to finish the half term off.

I cannot believe I am having to write this status again but if you have booked your child in at my service then BE ON TIME.

This is an independent business that I run on my own inbetween looking after children, my own child, completing school runs, feeding the children, trying to accommodate new children, ensuring that I have activities planned and new learning opportunities available.

From now on if a child has not arrived within fifteen minutes of their booking time then unfortunately I will have to turn children away. I have a busy waiting list that is quickly filling up with families patiently waiting for a space in my childcare setting and therefore I am no longer tolerating lateness.

Please don’t be a Nivens McTwisp 🐇 ⏰

Happy Thursday Folks ☺️✨

It’s that time of year where your all having your pre Christmas clear outs before Santa comes with new ! Please give our little setting a thought! Books/role play/educational toys would be hugely appreciated! thank you in advance ♥️

The children have been so busy this week and now our Halloween display is complete! more Halloween activities in store over the next couple of weeks 🧙‍♀️🎃🦇

Our spooky Halloween window display complete. Our Halloween display is underway with lots more activities prepared for another busy few creative days 🎃 🧙‍♀️ 🦇

When the kiddies bathed “puddles” They were so gentle with her. They made sure the water was nice and warm. Afterwards they made her a nice healthy lunch 🥗 🐢

We had such good fun at the new grass hoppers play centre last week! The children loved exploring and playing both indoors and outdoors, eating a not so healthy lunch as a treat and then looking around the garden centre at the Christmas displays !! Lots of energy burnt off ans happy faces all around ♥️

Good morning it’s the last one before the dreaded weekend 😩
Just a quick one that the invoices will be sent out over the course of the day. If anyone requires receipts then just let me know .
On that note can I remind everyone that you are paying for your child’s childcare place not their attendance, so full fees when your child is off ie sick days/ late notice un attended days will still be chargable. However If I am off due to sickness/ bobbys sickness no charge is made and I will do my best to make the missed hours up with your child.
LATE invoice payments and LATE attendance/collection fees will be mandatory due to recent occurrences.
Could we also remember to check up on the weather before arriving and provide your child with suitable footwear /puddle suits so we can go out puddle splashing 😂😂
Thank you once again Adele and enjoy your wkd xx

Good morning everyone if you could ensure your child is dropped off and collected at the times agreed please as I have a very busy schedule especially in a morning. I provide the children with breakfast so to ensure the children get to school/crèches on time with full tummy’s I need to have the prompt arrival. On that note picks are also essential to be on time as once the children have been picked up I have to then see to my own family then head out to the pool to teach. Thank you for your understanding Adele 😁

When your childminder is also a swimming teacher! This little dot had her first experience in the water today and she absolutely smashed it! She was so confident being on her woggle and learning her little kicks! She has booked on to our baby to 3 years classes with fins and floats swim school! So unlucky for her there’s no escaping me ! Well done little mermaid in the making!
