Parenting. Give it time.

Hello!

Sorry I have not written for so long! I have been so busy trying to finish off my degree and my level three CCLD.

But the good news is that hopefully I shall soon be starting work as a nanny!

Anyway, recently I found this Welsh Government website. It is so useful!

It contains developmental guides and tips and tricks for those difficult moments like bedtime, mealtimes and coping with crying! As well as guides to things like how to bottle feed and keep it all hygienic for baby. 

Please take a look whereever you live.

Heuristic Play

Here is a very interesting link to Heuristic Play in the Early Childhood Years. Don't be afraid of the complicated term, heuristic play is simple and can be applied easily in the home or Nursery!

You can easily do this at home as the resources you use are everyday objects and recycled or reclaimed materials.

Welcome to my Blog!

Hello!

Welcome to my new blog! This is based off my Facebook page. I also have profiles on Childcare.co.uk and other Nannying websites such a Tinies.

My aim is to provide and share information suitable for parents, carers and practitioners as a form of reflective journal for me, so I can continually improve on my practice.

Please see my facebook and Childcare.co.uk profile below.

The next few posts I put up will be backdated a little bit, but I shall try and upload here the same time as on facebook in future.  If you want to contact me, the quickest way would be through Facebook (general inquiries) and Childcare.co.uk (jobs).
