Buttercup Lane Childminders wish Kai a very very 1st  Happy Birthday.

Kai, you are one today
And learning so very much,
There is nothing in this house,
That you don’t want to touch!
Your fingerprints are evident,
In every single place,
Along with the mischievous smile,
On your little face!
You have made everyone lives complete,
In each and every way
You always brighten up
Every single day.
You are a special little boy,
We’ll watch your life unfold,
Have a Happy Birthday.
Now you are one year old!

Happy Birthday Kai from all your friends at Buttercup Lane Childminders. !

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.

Don’t forget that your clocks go forward tonight for British summer time- today we have had rain sleet snow and sunshine but we are now in BST it’s totally crazy but it true . . . Clocks go forward On my way!

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

We will return here in the summer months and have a picnic.

A & T enjoyed it so much they were so tired when we got back to BCLCM.
Ducks and swans with the child minders from East Ardsley  much fun with childminders at Hemsworth Water Park

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.

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.

We are thinking ahead to the school holdays and we are available through out. Get in touch asap to book your place. We can also cater for the over 8’s as well.
