We have had a busy morning, we had a lovely nature walk spotted lots of different flowers, butterfly’s, heard grass hoppers. We have eaten and picked lots of blackberries! Even the baby’s thoroughly enjoyed them. We had lots of purple fingers and mouths 😂😂😂 .

Guess what we will be making next week!! 😆

We have been learning about life cycles over the past few weeks, we’ve watched our caterpillars change into butterflies and we let them go this week, the children where so gentle and were able to hold a butterfly before it took off 🥰 our fairy strawberries are beginning to grow too. We’ve spotted swans with their signets on our walk along the canal.

We have had a busy week with a treat to mighty monsters, and play group.

Important Safety Warning for Parents:

A recent BBC article has highlighted a dangerous TikTok trend that has seen several children hospitalised.

The trend involves young people using tiny magnetic balls as fake tongue piercings - placing them on either side of the tongue to mimic a piercing. Swallowing more than one magnet can be life-threatening, causing serious internal injuries within hours.

These small magnets can rip through intestines, leading to emergency surgery and, in some cases, long-term damage.

Please speak to your children about the serious risks of putting magnets - or any small objects - in or near their mouths. Keep these items well out of reach of younger children.

If you suspect your child has swallowed a magnet, call 999 immediately or go straight to A&E.

What a busy couple of weeks it’s been! We have done Mother’s Day crafting- cards, pictures and dried flower bookmarks. Nature walks, playgroup, canal walk and feeding the ducks, baking, garden play and play dough .

And a goodbye to two of the boys we’ve had for the last 3 years, it’s always a hard one. It has been such a pleasure to care for these two boys and we really have enjoyed watching them both grow and flourish into the little boys they are today. We look forward to having some meets ups 🥰
