If you have a few hours to spare and your kids are bored you need to go and visit Mr Copley. We had loads of fun with the pumpkins and corn shotting, the farm shop is excellent and you will be amazed with the selection of goods on offer.

We attended a training course yesterday that was Early Years Fun Stuff linked directly to revised EYFS. We have lots of fresh and exciting ideas for fun activities that all fall into the Early Years Foundation Stage framework. We are going to introduce some of the activities into June’s activity plan and we will see how successful there are. Ask us about the new Birthday Boxes a great idea for all the children to get involved in birthday celebrations, Mini-me pegs, Book of the week & 3 item story time.

We have just been to Rothwell Park to test the new kites for this weeks outing and they are wonderful. Huge bright and they both look stunning in the bright daytime sun. We urge all families to pay attention to the sun and be aware of sun burn. Please make sure you have plenty of sun protection cream with you. Just 5 minutes in the mid-day sun can burn you so be careful, There will be a prize this week for the best sun hat so bring them along to Buttercup Lane Childminders in East Ardsley and lets see just how much fun we can have this week.

Fun on the run at buttercup Lane childminders
We have been having lots of fun this week seeing the new additions at Temple Newsam, we have seen the white donkey and all the lambs and piglets. Everyone had lots of fun in the fresh air and we all walked for miles. Not sure how their little legs managed it, at this rate we are all going to be super fit for the summer.
