I will support and nurture your child in every aspect to help them grow and develop.

As we say goodbye to August, here is a little summary of what the children have been up to over the past month at Lucy's Littles. ☀️
The children enjoyed several visits to Mini Kingdom soft play, explored the beautiful surroundings of Ninesprings, and made the most of the summer heatwave with plenty of time outdoors in the garden.
The children have continued working hard on individual next steps and our school leavers on their transitions, helping them build confidence and independence.
A particular focus this month has been teamwork. Through a variety of games and activities, the children have been learning to work together, take turns, solve problems and support one another.
We also enjoyed exploring some wonderful National Trust locations, including Montacute House and Lytes Cary Manor, where the children had opportunities to investigate nature, develop their physical skills and create lasting memories.
What a fantastic month it's been. We can't wait to see what September brings! 🍂 2026

After all the fun with the water today, our exciting learning focused on the upcoming solar eclipse! 🌑☀️
The children enjoyed discovering how the moon can pass in front of the sun and create this amazing sight. Through stories, discussions and creative artwork, we explored the wonders of space and sparked lots of curiosity about the world around us. 🚀✨⭐

⚠️ Safety Reminder: If you’re watching tonight - never look directly at the sun during a solar eclipse. Always use approved solar viewing glasses or follow official guidance for safe viewing. 😎☀️

🌸 9 Years of Lucy's Littles Childminding 🌸
Nine years ago, Lucy's Littles started in a small front extension with a big dream. Today, I look around my lovely cabin and feel incredibly proud of how far we've come.
Over those nine years, I've had the privilege of caring for so many wonderful children and building relationships with families that have often become friendships. I've celebrated milestones, first steps, first words, school starts and so many special moments along the way.

The last few years haven't always been easy. Life has brought some incredibly difficult challenges, including a heartbreaking loss as a surrogate, unexpected health struggles that led to a diagnosis of a lifelong condition, countless hospital appointments and, more recently, becoming a foster carer.
There have been times when I wondered how I would juggle it all, but through every challenge, the kindness, understanding and support from my families has never gone unnoticed. The trust you place in me each day, your messages of encouragement, your patience when life has thrown me a curveball, and the friendships that have grown from caring for your children have meant more than I can ever put into words.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Thank you for trusting me with your little ones, for supporting my small business, and for being part of this journey. Lucy's Littles wouldn't be what it is today without you.

Here's to 9 years of learning, laughter, adventures and memories — and hopefully many more to come. 💜

🐾 Activities from Last Week (27/07/26) 🐾
Last week we loosely followed the children's interest in animals. 🐘🐰 We enjoyed a classic game of Doughnutters 🍩 and a visit to the local pet store 🐹, which sparked lots of conversations about animals, colours, sizes and what living things need to survive.
We also had a wonderful trip to Lytes Cary National Trust 🌳, where the children developed their gross motor skills, teamwork and confidence through adventurous outdoor play. 🪵💪
Back at the cabin, we shared stories including Elmer the Elephant 📚, got creative 🎨, and spent lots of time building, imagining and following our own interests. ✨
A week full of learning, laughter and fun! 💜🌼

After seeing the ducks, the children made an important decision... if you can't beat them, join them! 🦆☀️ Lots of waddling, wing-flapping and balancing today as we got our physical exercise in while staying active outdoors.

This week (20/0726) A slightly shorter week, we enjoyed lots of shape-themed fun. 🔺⭕🟦
The children have been showing a big interest in building recently, so our rainbow arches were used to create towers, hospitals, beds for dolls and all sorts of imaginative creations. This helped develop problem-solving skills, creativity, mathematical thinking and teamwork.
We also enjoyed Cosmic Yoga, music and movement sessions, plus outings to Soft play and a shape hunt at Ninesprings. There the children looked for shapes in nature and talked about what we could see around us. 🌿
A visit to our friends at Sammy's gave us opportunities to build friendships, and we finished the week with shape painting, exploring colours, creativity and fine motor skills. 🎨
Another week of learning through play, following the children's interests and having lots of fun along the way! ❤️

By 10:30 this morning, the children had already packed in so much learning without even realising it! 🌿🔍
During our trip to Ninesprings, we became shape detectives, searching for shapes in nature and keeping a tally of how many we could find. From circles on benches to shapes hidden in leaves, trees and pathways, the children were excited to spot and count their discoveries.
This simple activity supported so many areas of learning:
⭐ Mathematics – shape recognition, counting and tallying
⭐ Communication & Language – discussing and describing what we found
⭐ Physical Development – walking, exploring and developing gross motor skills
⭐ Understanding the World – observing the natural environment
⭐ Personal, Social & Emotional Development – working together and sharing ideas
A wonderful reminder that some of the best learning happens through play, exploration and curiosity! 🍃
