I’d like to give a mention to my new little ones who have been busy settling in over the last few weeks both parents and children have been amazing adjusting to new routines and new journeys outside of their home comforts I’m also incredibly proud of my Explorers for helping them settle you are all equally amazing 💕 xx

Autumn crafts today was full of experiments, my Little Explorer found different ways to make paint marks on the paper from rolling the pine cones to dropping them and watching the paint splatter 🥰, onto scissor skills and lots of conversations about different cultures inspired by Hispanic Heritage month “that’s a big hat” aka sombrero, the people in the pictures talk in a different language called Spanish, their words sound different to ours so we say hello and Spanish people say hola. We also manage to add a touch of numeracy fun these little people amaze me 😍

We’ve been busy today, the children have made autumn wreaths, explored the sensory bottles and experimented with autumn colours using paint…….. we’ve also got a new play kitchen which the little ones have really enjoyed playing with I’ve had lots of cups of coffee 🥰 xx

The ‘Little Explorers’ have had a lovely football themed day celebrating Burnley FC’s recent promotion, the children loved showing off their football skills with the very friendly BFC staff and we had fun finding all our favourite players around the town centre. The children even managed to come home with one of the signed squad photos each. Thank you Burnley Football Club and your lovely staff you made 2 Little Explorers very happy 💕⚽️

Easter wrap up……. Lots of adventures and getting creative, I don’t often get chance to take pictures of crafts as you can imagine under 3’s and paint doesn’t always go to plan 🙃🤣 but we have fun and get messy and that’s what it’s all about 💕.

We had the pleasure of my youngest also known as my little PA and resource tester, joining us over the half term she’s absolutely brilliant with the little ones 💕

Whistle stop tour of our jam packed adventures:-
Bolton Abbey for the bunny trail.. a visit to Thornton Hall farm brilliant day out, went to see the newborn lambs in the lambing tent at Hurstwood, chocolate egg hunts around offshoots at Towneley, a bit of pond dipping for tadpoles and lots lots more….. they don’t call us the Little Explorers for nothing……

Half term has been cold and mostly miserable weather wise but it hasn’t stopped us !!
Monday - Clitheroe Castle for a dinosaur hunt
Tuesday - saw the arrival of our very first trip…… myself and the Explorers ventured off to Imagine That in Liverpool and what an adventure it was, the children spent the day playing, creating and problem solving with their friends, they had an amazing time, all of the children were so well behaved and an absolute credit to their parents 💕
Wednesday - Paint party
Thursday - Baby Boo multisensory session
Friday - we worked on our fine motor skills using the playdough and threading cheerios 💕 we also got the music toys out and built towers and played with the cars and diggers.
We’ve also had the pleasure of my youngest joining the Explorers for the week, shes spent her half term helping mummy and the little ones and has had lots of fun herself, she’s been amazing we’ll be lost without her when she goes back to school 😍

Watch this space to see where our next adventure will take us xx
