We have just completed a training course for the Revised Early Years Foundation Stage 2012.

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 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.

Buttercup Lane Childminders welcome Ben and Archie.

We are also having week long activities in relation to Valentines day, We will be making cards, using materials and discovering new ideas for this educational week.

Please see the report under activities for one of the best weeks we have every had at Buttercup Lane , celebrating Chinese New Year.

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.
