We had a suprise for the last hour or so today for the children .. Buttercup Lane’s very own Mr Tumble ‘East Ardsley Style’ of course.

Not quite sure who had the most fun the children, the parents or Mr Tumble himself but it rounded off the day nicely.

The fun has not stopped there and since loading the photograph onto the Pacey Website we have been inundated with appearance requests.

Child Safety week at Buttercup Lane Childminders in East Ardsley

We have been to Oakwell Hall today, near Batley it has great walks and lovely scenery we visited the park and play areas, the huge play slide and tyre swing – it was so much fun.
Oakwell Hall now a living museum run by the Batt Family since the 1696’s was built by John Batt in 1583. For further detail <a href=”http://www.friendsofoakwellhall.org.uk/http://”>follow this link</a> as we are sure you will have just as much as we all had today. Baby Raine, Luca, Autumn, Archie, Neo, Leo & Karl, Lia and Kirsten all had a jolly wonderful time.

We had a fantastic day out at Hemsworth Water Park yesterday, we had sunshine, wind, and snow but we had so much fun.

A & T enjoyed it so much they were so tired when we got back to BCLCM.

Have fun !!

Today is Autumns Birthday and the party has started

Just been to Manston Park with Tamzin and Aaron, it was very cold but we all wrapped up really well, The kids had lots of fun on the swings and roundabouts and they really enjoyed themselves to say it started snowing again. See the usual for all the pictures.

We had a fantastic day out today at Temple Newsam Park, The Weather was beautiful for February and there were loads of people there enjoying the facilities.

Along with the long walk, we went Tree Root Climbing, Duck and Swan Spotting, We played Find the Penguin and Pig and this kept them entertained for hours until Karl let on just exactly where the penguin was.  The swings and fire mans pole slide was every bodys favourite and we all had a very good time.

Since the beginning of June here at Buttercup Lane Childminders we have been getting excited over this years Olympic Games and then there has been Euro 2012. We have had early morning fun in the sun with the football in the garden practicing our footballing skills and dare we say that some of the skills shown were better than some of the England skills on show over the last few weeks. We have also been following the Olympic Torch Travels and especially today as it came into Morley. We have a number of fun and educational yet physical activities planned for whilst the olympics are on for all our children. Not forgetting Wimbledon, so we are dusting off the tennis rackets, its going to be one full packed summer and we intend to enjoy every minute of it.
