Sarah's Childminding.

The children really enjoyed making things for Mother's Day.

We have loved 'Bird Watch' this week. We also went and fed the ducks , looked up all the birds we have seen in the bird book and read stories and rhymes about birds. Nothing better than learning while having fun. 🐦🦆🦢

Lots more fun this week🎄🎅

Can't wait to open our special delivery next week with the children. Santa has replied to their letters. 🎅

My little people have enjoyed themselves this week getting ready for Christmas. 🎄

All of us at World Book Day are saddened by the news that Shirley Hughes has passed away. Shirley brought everyday magic to children and families alike through her classic, beloved stories. She will be dearly missed.

We love this video of Shirley talking about Whistling in the Dark, speaking with her usual humour and warmth: https://www.worldbookday.com/videos/shirley-hughes-on-whistling-in-the-dark/
