🐐✨ A day full of giggles and muddy boots at Woolley Animals! The children fed the goats and alpacas, spotted ducks in Duckingham Palace, and even met a very curious pig 🐖
After a play on the toy tractors and a picnic in the sunshine, we all headed home with happy hearts (and the quietest journey home ever with sleepy children!) 🌾☀️
A wholesome day out with our friends at Little Oats Childminding— full of simple joys and big memories 🧺🐾

We had such a beautiful morning with Story Bears today! Thank you so much for sharing such a great story - The Enormous Crocodile!

The children had the loveliest time and we are so excited to come back again!

🍂✨ Today our playdough met the magic of autumn! With conkers, sticks, and leaves, the children created hedgehogs, cakes, and so many wonderful ideas of their own. By blending play with the treasures of nature, imagination bloomed and the outdoors became part of their creations. 🌿🦔🍁

After our autumn walk collecting little treasures, the children enjoyed painting their leaves in the colours they had noticed outside 🍁 They talked about “red”, “yellow” and “brown”, and loved the feel of the brushes moving across the leaf shapes. Such a lovely way to build early language, notice seasonal changes, and enjoy the wonder of autumn together ✨

With a weather warning in place today, the weatherman told us to stay indoors – so while we’d usually be out embracing the rain, we’re keeping cosy inside instead. 🌧️

The children have settled into calm, independent play with trains, magnetic tiles, blocks and books. No big set ups, just the simple daily rhythms of life. And it’s in these ordinary moments that the extraordinary magic of childhood shines through – the quiet focus, the gentle play, the joy of simply being. 💛

Sometimes it’s not about the “perfect aesthetic”

This colourful plastic car garage was the very first toy I bought for childminding, and a year later it’s still the most loved and played with toy in our setting 🚗

From turn-taking and sharing, to imaginative play, problem-solving, and fine motor skills – it’s a brilliant all-rounder that supports so many areas of the EYFS. The children are always drawn back to it, proving that the best toys are the ones that spark joy, curiosity and endless play 💛

Mini Music 💕

Our favourite Monday activity. We’ve been coming to this wonderful group for almost a whole year and we adore it. Every Monday we shake our hands, wiggle, sing Humpty Dumpty and tap our sticks and it never, ever gets old!
