Following recent events in the childcare industry, safer sleep has been a major focus and an important topic for all of us. Changes are being made to the EYFS guidelines to ensure providers are following the safest possible practices, which is completely understandable.

Here at Cocos Adventures Childminding, I take safer sleep extremely seriously and I am fully trained to ensure all children in my care are kept safe at all times.

I am sharing this guidance from The Lullaby Trust for anyone who would like to refresh their knowledge on safer sleep practices. It’s always valuable to stay informed and up to date.

Thank you 🤍

🌸🐣 A Day in the Life at Cocos Adventures 🐣🌸

Yesterday we had such a wonderful Easter holiday day here at Cocos Adventures Childminding! 💛

The children started the day with a special trip to see the horses 🐴a request they were very excited about, and it certainly didn’t disappoint! After that, we packed up our picnic and headed to the park, with the children riding along in the wagon alongside all the things we needed for a fun-filled day 🚶‍♀️🧺

At the park, the fun continued with lots of play, laughter, and games. The children enjoyed football and badminton, showing great energy and enthusiasm ⚽🏸

Our adventure didn’t stop there… we headed off exploring to look for insects 🐞🌿, sparking curiosity and lots of great conversations about nature.

One of the highlights of the day was when the children worked together as a team to build a small bridge over a bit of water. They showed amazing teamwork, helping each other across and making sure it was safe every single time. I was so proud of how they supported one another,such fantastic cooperation and problem-solving skills 💪✨

Days like this are what Cocos Adventures is all about exploration, teamwork, and making special memories together 💚

🌸🐣 Good Morning & Happy Good Friday 🐣🌸

Wishing all my lovely families and followers a wonderful Easter weekend filled with love, laughter and special memories 💛

I hope the Easter Bunny brings lots of smiles! 🐰✨

Just a little reminder to keep an eye on little ones when enjoying Easter treats, small chocolates such as mini eggs can be a choking hazard for young children. Safety always comes first 🧡

Have a beautiful Easter everyone and enjoy every precious moment 🌷

Love from Coco’s Adventures Childminding 💕

✨ A Special Thank You ✨

I feel so incredibly grateful today after receiving this lovely review from one of my wonderful parents 💛 This truly means the world to me and reminds me exactly why I do what I do.

My goal has always been to make a real difference in each child’s day, to create a space where they feel happy, safe, and completely themselves. Knowing that the children leave with big smiles, feeling content, and with a head full of lovely memories is everything I could ever hope for.

Thank you so much for your kind words and for trusting me with your little one. Your support means more than you know 💕

With love,

What a wonderful day we’ve had at Cocos Adventures Childminding! ☀️🐴

Today we spent some lovely time visiting the horses, the children enjoyed feeding them crunchy carrots, giving them a gentle groom, and even taking them for a little walk. Such a calm and special experience for everyone 💛

After that, we headed to Smyths Toys Superstore to choose some exciting new garden toys, making the most of this beautiful sunshine 🌿

Back at the setting, we got our hands dirty planting seeds in little pots and spent the afternoon playing, exploring, and laughing together in the garden 🌼

It’s been a day full of smiles, fresh air, and happy memories, lots of very happy children at the end of it! 😊

We tried and tested Coco’s brand new wheels and what a success it was! 🚶‍♀️🐾✨

We enjoyed a lovely stroll around the block with the dog, and even with the bigger children riding in the wagon, it handled beautifully. Safe to say these new wheels are going to be absolutely perfect for all our future adventures!

The children had so much fun, they absolutely loved it! 😊

I’m so happy I chose the Wonderfold wagon… it’s already proving to be the best decision! 😍

A little question for all my lovely families 💛

As a childminder, I often think about those big, special milestones especially something as magical as a child taking their very first steps.

I would really love to know your thoughts… if your child took their first steps while in my care, would you want me to tell you? Or would you prefer me to keep it quiet so you can experience that moment for the first time yourselves?

I know how incredibly special and emotional these moments are, and I want to always do what feels right for you as a family.

Please share your thoughts in the comments or message me privately, I’d love as many families as possible to answer 💬

Thank you so much for helping me make my setting the best it can be for you and your little ones 💛

Spring is such a lovely time of year here at Coco’s Adventures Childminding 🌼🐑

We’ve been very lucky to get out and about in the fresh air, watching baby lambs being born, such a special experience for the children to see in real life. It’s moments like these that bring learning to life, helping them understand nature, new beginnings, and the world around them.

There’s nothing better than giving children the freedom to explore outdoors, enjoy the countryside, and learn through real experiences. These little trips create so many opportunities for learning, curiosity, and conversation.

We truly love this time of year and all the wonderful experiences it brings 💛🌿
