❄️ Snow Foam ❄️ This week, we made snow foam. For many of our children this was totally new; therefore, they were exploring it for the first time. Some of our older children were using other items around the house to extend their play. This included making cakes and dinner for our friends. Creativity is at the heart of our setting! ❄️

We have been busy this week exploring red paint and water. In our setting, children are the pilots of their own play. We started off with paint and cars as our children have been taking the cars into the outdoors environment. This play extended to the children adding water to their paint to make a liquid. Through discussion, they decided they were making their own pudding. Great creativity. 🎨🚗

🍾 Exciting news has landed at Do-Re-Mi Childminding today! 🍾

We have been busy behind the scenes over the last few years improving the quality of care in our setting. Today we have found out we have been accredited as a Curiosity Approach Setting.

Our journey doesn’t stop here. We always look to ensure we are providing the very best care and education to our children and we can’t wait to see where this takes us!

We’d like to thank our staff, children and parents for embracing our approach and supporting our journey of growth.

🎉 Celebration Time 🎉 This week, business owner, Flora, was fortunate enough to be invited to the Civic Offices in Swindon by the Early Years Team to receive her certificate for completing the EYPDP accreditation run by the Education Development Trust. CPD is important to us at Do-Re-Mi Childminding. We always look to upskill our staff.

We were lucky enough to be donated a big sheet of jungle paper this week. We used it to draw roads to each of the animals. Children of all ages had a go at drawing and developing their creativity. We then followed the childrens interests and drew roundabouts with numbers in the middle before putting that number of wooden slices down. 🛣️

Gravity in action! The children enjoyed using a ramp to roll their teddies down. They couldn’t believe how when they moved the ramp the teddy bears speed changed. Science in our play. 🧸

12/01/2025

Another birthday in our setting this week. At Do-Re-Mi Childminding it is important to celebrate birthdays. The children enjoyed making their own taste safe cupcakes and adding candles to them. We finished off with a little party where we had cake to celebrate. 🎂

11/01/2025

This week we have embraced the change in weather. Whilst the snow hasn’t materialised, we have had some fantastic opportunities in the ice. We have been bashing, smashing and scraping. The children loved using watered down paint and seeing its impact. 🥶❄️🧊

What a great way to celebrate a birthday. A fruit cake with a real twist. 🥝 The children loved tasting all the different fruits in this fantastic birthday cake. Thank you!

09/01/2025

Celebrating children’s birthdays is important to us. 🎉🥳 Therefore, in the setting this week, the children enjoyed pretending to make their own cakes with taste safe playdough. Children helped themselves to numbers to add to the top of their cakes to represent their ages. 🎂

08/01/2025

We continued our theme of The Gingerbread Man by cutting out and painting our own gingerbread shapes. The children loved this activity so much that we made Christmas Trees and Candy Canes for them to paint too. We used white paint to represent icing as the children loved the taste of the icing when decorating their own biscuits.🎄

07/01/2025

👤 The Gingerbread Man 👤 The children loved sharing the story of The Gingerbread Man. Traditional Tales are so important to early storytelling. We used the story as inspiration for making and decorating our own edible gingerbread men. The best bit was eating them at the end. 🍪

🍊We all know how enjoyable a Terry’s Chocolate Orange is at Christmas time. 🍊 Therefore, we made chocolate orange taste safe playdough in the setting with real oranges. The scent was very Christmassy and the children really enjoyed the different textures.

05/01/2025

Just before Christmas, we invited in Krazy Kangas to run a music workshop with the children. We love having Rio in our setting. The children enjoyed using musical instruments, playing with bubbles and exploring light. What a great way to end term!

04/01/2025

What a busy end to the Christmas term we had! As we prepare for returning in the spring term, we have reflected on our Christmas activities. It was great to see the children wrapping up Christmas presents in the setting. They enjoyed folding, cutting, rolling and sticking. We will miss having the Christmas tree up when we return. 🎄

CPD is always important in any childcare setting. Inclusion is an essential part of how we work at Do-Re-Mi Childminding. In order to ensure we are up to date with the latest and most relevant guidance, we have recently undertaken the Dingley’s Promise Inclusion Friendly Setting award. We are very proud that our work as an inclusive setting has been recognised. 🧸

In our setting, we encourage children to use all forms of communication. Makaton is one of the ways you can encourage children to communicate with gestures as they learn words. Therefore, we have begun teaching the children a new sign each week. This week our sign is for ‘more please.’ This is Flora, our setting owner, demonstrating this weeks sign. We encourage you to practice this at home with the children. Look out for another one next week.
