October half term week
We're slacking with these daily posts, aren't we?
Are you all on half term this week? School holidays were normally quieter for me as some of the children were term time only, but they're now all year round plus I have an older sibling coming in, so it's a bit busier. It's been fun so far though. We've been doing lots of autumn/halloween activities. We're doing a little party tomorrow and going to toddler group activity session on Thursday. Then I can put my feet up on Friday
What's everyone else been up to?

Yes, not many posts now.
I have two off term time only, two older ones come but only twice a week.
Lots of Halloween crafts, play.
Went out on a long hike earlier in the week to a farm to see huge tractors they also have two small aeroplanes parked in their field, children like to see them.
Today only one baby so not busy. Pumpkin play, hung some Halloween balloons just out of reach for them to knock about etc, may try and do some pumpkin foot print picture with them but young ones don’t see to cooperate do they?
Does anyone follow people on Instagram to get ideas? I do but unfortunately mine never play the same as the children on there 😂 but least get new ideas.

We’ve been having a lovely week with lots of Halloween activities and getting out and about. Today it’s rainy and dark though, so we’re going to have a wet walk to toddler group. DH tells me it’s supposed to be nice this afternoon so I’ll keep my fingers crossed
Enjoy your day everyone
Hello!
I've had a crazy week so far ... I've not been working as DD had a 4 day dance competition and did brilliantly. So proud of her, but 7.30 this morning ... back to work with a houseful!
I'd planned to go out for a walk, but non stop heavy rain from 8am till about 11, 2 non walkers and being shattered... I just couldn't face going out! Despite having 6 minded children from 10mths to almost 9! It has meant we've just pottered and played at home! We've had the Halloween sensory tray and done some Halloween craft pumpkin 'sun' catchers ... mix of orange glue and tissue paper and they look gorgeous! It's being a lovely day. Little ones asleep and big ones creating their own Halloween pictures and chatting. I've been looking up things/ songs they are asking about and having such a nice time!
I've been following 'listen to the children' on Facebook and how she basically just provides the starting blocks for play and let's the children take it where they want to, and I really like that! She does seem to have older/ preschool age children and a fair few of them and a big space!
I do wish more people posted on here, it used to be such a vibrant group. Where did they all go?!
Although I have a childminder page on Facebook, and can follow some pages, it is linked to my husbands account, and I can't join the childminder Facebook group from my work page, but I don't want my own page and if i did, I don't want it linked to work!
I don't really look at Instagram unless DD screenshots/ sends me a link!
Hope it dries up soon!20221027_131843.jpg

Lol, it was good fun reading on here years back. Although it got very heated at times! I remember the user names....I wonder what they are all doing now. I guess most people are just on facebook groups these days.

well .... I have a childminder page linked to DHs account, but i'm not on it as 'me' !!! I can link to/follow other pages using my Childminder Business page. I find it a tad annoying that i can follow/sign up to the childminder groups using my business account! That's all i'm interested in!
