Since starting childminding in October last year, starting a blog has been something I’ve often thought about. The start of a new year, made me think, why not? So, those of you who stumble upon my blog I hope you enjoy reading it! I would love to hear your feedback 😊 This will be somewhere I can put my thoughts down and let those who are interested in what we get up to see part of the Bluebells Childminding world!!

Moving into childminding has been a natural transition after having my daughter in October 2018, my educational and work background has always been in primary and early years. I have always been a pro early years supporter and believe those 0 to 5 years are so so important in shaping young minds and preparing them for later life. I also believe in the importance of play. 

It is really important to remember that each child is unique and learns at their own pace, rushing them often leads to failure and frustration. Here at Bluebells the activities are adapted and tailored to each child- as childminders, we work with a varied age group so this can be trickier but not impossible.

I have attached a few pictures of what we have been up to in the last couple of months, I will attempt to be regular with this blog writing (wish me luck!) so you get to see more of what we do day-to-day. This month I am hoping to start Bluebells little chefs where each child will get an opportunity to bake/cook linked with a learning objective. We will also be partaking in activities to raise awareness and money for Jo’s Cervical cancer charity.

Thanks for reading,

Love Sammi
