Mini Bugz

Seeing so much Imaginative play has been incredible this week.

🐅🐘🐍🐆🦒🪵🪹🪸🪨🐚🐊🦎

Here’s what twinklresources say about it.

Imaginative play is characterised as a type of play that is mainly driven by children's imaginations. People may also call it 'make believe' or 'playing pretend'.

Children might use props including costumes or masks, but the main source of play comes from children's creativity. They might be re-enacting an experience they've had or something that interests them. The importance of imaginative play involves practising communication, language, and social skills in a safe space where the child is in control. They can practise making different decisions and use their imaginations to solve problems and find solutions. Plus, it's loads of fun!

🙌🏽 Here’s Emma, the manager of SigningBSL, a part of The Signing Company. Over to you Emma!

Hi there! I realised that I never actually introduced myself properly on here, so here I am.

✨ I am Deaf and British Sign Language (BSL) is my first language. I am a qualified teacher with 25 years of teaching experience in BSL.

👋🏽 I love meeting new people and am always eager to introduce British Sign Language to those who wish to start their signing journey.

🎉 Outside of work, I love to eat out with friends and family, exploring new cuisines and restaurants. I can’t live without chocolate! I love cocktails🍹

🗺️ I love holidays - who doesn’t?!

🐾 I also enjoy walking my “mad” dog in the woods! It’s my favourite way to unwind and connect with nature.

📺 I love watching series and films!

📅 In 2019, my business partner Becky and I founded SigningBSL to provide BSL and Deaf Awareness Courses. SigningBSL is accessible and enjoyable for everyone.

💬 Join us as we share our passion for BSL, offer tips, and celebrate the vibrant Deaf community.

📚 Follow for regular updates, resources, and a supportive community where we can all learn and grow together.

We’ve made some football biscuits today to cheer on England tonight ⚽️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏟️🥅

Pre school children did so well with creating their own Fondant icing decoration to represent the England flag ♥️

Looking for plans for the summer holidays. Why not join us at these parks! We will have a few games and activities and are excited to play in the different parks and have a picnic too!! Open to all. No booking is required, but if you'd like to come and could let us know we can bring extra snacks!

Congratulations to Emily who passed her level 3 childcare Apprenticeship course this week.

Emily has worked so hard and scored herself a distinction 🍾🎉🥳

Did you know❓

There are 68,000 childcare providers registered with Ofsted in the UK. 🐞

We are unique in that there are only 200 nurseries like ours and one of only 2 in the whole of the East Riding 🐛

We are registered as Childcare on Domestic premises as we are linked to Faye’s beautiful house. 🦋

This means we work slightly differently to other settings but we all work from the same EYFS set out by the government. 🐌

Fun fact of the day 😁

Did anyone see a car bump or scrape into a parked car today between 9-3 pm whilst on drop off or collection

Please let us know if you have any Information.

Thank you
