This week we have been on two training courses. These were very interesting and we have learnt a great deal to support our child care.

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.

We have just completed a training course for the Revised Early Years Foundation Stage 2012. More details to follow ….

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 a fantastic new educational pen at Buttercup Lane Childminders, Ask Lia to show you it. The pen is like no other it reads pictures and asks you to group items together using flashcards.
Its amazing and helps with Maths and English. We played with the pen for hours and we cant put it down.

We have been extremely busy in the last two weeks. We have been to a few educational local places of interest. These include Tropical World – Roundhay, Oakwell Hall – Batley, Temple Newsam Park – Halton, Pontrfract Park – Pontefract &amp; Swimming to keep us all fit. A good time was had by all and photogtaphs of our days out will be uploaded soon.
