Baby A's Nursery

I love Baby A's nursery. She only goes 2 afternoons a week but I really think she loves it. She certainly seems to as she's always so excited when she gets there and can't wait to see 'Baby George' who I hear about constantly and is potentially her first crush (but don't tell Mr Big).

It wasn't always this way as before she would always cry when I left her and it was heart breaking, but I knew she was fine really, as by the time I looked in the window from outside, she was already all smiles.

It still took a while before we wouldn't have the tears, but now she's that little bit older and more confident, she runs off almost without even a wave goodbye. I say almost as I always ask for a wave, but I'm pretty sure if I didn't ask, I often wouldn't get.

Aside from offering wonderful care for my daughter, the nursery also complete a learning journal, complete with photographs, as a record of Nany A's development in the time she spends with them. This is largely to do with monitoring by Ofsted as far as I can gather, but either way, I love it as we get to see what she has been up to.

And we get to keep it once she moves up a level out of the baby room (which happens when she turns 2).

Here are a few snapshots from the journal.

Wondermum Makes - Tegenarium - Spider House!

My Mum isn't a lover of spiders and unfortunately she passed this fear unwittingly onto Roar when he was small. She didn't want him to stay afraid and so one Christmas, she bought him a Spider House Kit.  Between us we hoped he would learn about them and watch one and see they spend a lot of their time motionless and aren't really that scary. Don't get me wrong, I don't love it when a spider scuttles too close, but it's usually the shock of something scuttling into view that's more 'scary' than the spider itself.  Well, that's what I tell myself anyway!  We have no poisonous spiders to worry about so there really isn't anything to fear (although I know that isn't the same everywhere). We've had this Spider House Kit tucked away in a box for at least a couple of years as Roar was initially not keen.  However, in Lockdown all  the 'kits' are coming out and so has this one and, what's more, he's LOVED IT! He has l...

Wondermum Makes - No-Spider Tegenarium / Spiderless Spider House!

Further to my recent post, I realise not everyone loves spiders and not everyone knows where to find them or is sure if their spiders are safe.  And, as we also have a toddler in our house, we needed a 'Cub Safe' version to ensure no real spiders are harmed by an excited toddler shaking their spider-house! So we decided to make a pretend spider so Cub could also be included :) To make the actual spider house, see my other post - this is just to make the fake spiders! Things You Will Need Our list included single and double-sided tape, curling ribbon, scissors, paper, black pen and optional googly-eyes :) But if you don't have all of the above, you could use glue instead of tape or double-back on itself some single sided tape to make it double-side.  Curling ribbon could be string/cotton/wool etc. Your spider can be any colour so any colour paper will do or colour some in.  You could even use newspaper!  And if you don't have googly-eyes, you can m...

Wondermum Makes - NHS Superhero Angels

Thursday night we 'clapped for carers' and made as much noise as possible in the Thursday night tradition (the UK's way of saying thanks to all the care workers for all they are doing to keep everyone safe throughout this Corona-virus). This inspired our craft idea for today and we made some NHS Superheroes but instead of the traditional hero capes, we decided they were also Angels and so their capes are Angel inspired 'wing-capes' instead :) Things You Will Need We had: various coloured paper, stapler (with staples loaded), cardboard tube, single and double-sided tape, scissors, crayons (for faces), felt tips (for eye colours), black pencil (for mouth), sandwich bag (for mask).  We also show pegs and Gorilla glue (super glue) but these are an alternative option as we only needed to use the stapler and tape.  If you do use glue, the pegs are to hold it together while drying as we have used this method previously. The other items we didn...
