Kelly Poppins Childcare

With the hot weather, we've enjoyed cooling down in the water trays 💦

Using different sized cups to fill and carefully pour water, transporting it between the two trays, and even splashing our feet in the cool water!

We talked about sun safety, wearing hats and suncream and also being careful around water. Making sure to wait for an adult before going near the water ☀️☀️☀️☀️

This morning we watched sports day 🟠 we enjoyed watching the older children join in with different races, cheering them on and then went home to have our own running races outside! 👏

We made our own flags to wave and cheer on our friends as they ran! 🏆

Such a lovely morning being outdoors ☀️

This week we've been practicing our gross motor skills outside in the garden.
We've made obstacle courses, scored some goals and had lots of fun running races 🏆👏⭐

Another lovely stay & play morning at Darwin Court Care Home ☺️

Colour matching, fine motor skills with tweezers, and the colour monster emotions 🌈🔴🟡🟢🔵🟣

🎶🎤 Nursery Rhymes!!

This week we have had lots of fun with our new song bag.

Everyone waited very patiently for their turn, and loved choosing a nursery rhyme to sing 🚌 ⭐ 🐑 🐖

We especially loved the 5 little monkeys jumping on the bed props! 🐒

We had the best playdate this morning ⭐ everyone enjoyed themselves and played so nicely together, enjoying the sunshine ☀️

Cooling down in the sunshine this morning 💦☀️

Summer is coming ☀️
Use this handy guide to keep young children safe while asleep in the heat

☀️ UK heatwave incoming this weekend!
Warmer nights can make bedtime tricky, so here’s a handy guide to help you dress your little one safely for sleep 🌡️👶💤

Every baby is different, so use this as a general guide only —always check your baby’s chest or back to make sure they’re not too hot or too cold.

Avoid hats, heavy bedding , or overdressing during hot weather.

Cool, comfortable babies sleep better.

Save this post for later & share with another parent who’ll need this during the heatwave! ☀️
