Top 5 Child development tips

September 8, 2019

Hey lovelies, I hope you’re all warm and well!
With maternity leave literally days away, I’ve been trying on overdrive trying to make sure everything is done before I leave. As an experienced childcare practitioner of 4 years, my knowledge has growth with me throughout my career.  I thought I’d share some tips with you all on child development (specifically in a nursery setting). The content here will also benefit first time parents too. A little something for everyone, I hope. So lets jump straight into my top child development tips.

Make learning fun.

Children between the ages of 0-3 years learn best though play. By providing a wide range of fun activities, child are able to explore and experiments with different approaches to things. Let’s give an example, junk modelling. Saving a few every day packaging items like boxes, pots and tubes can make for some great play. Allowing children to stick, paint and build with these items helps promote their imagination, language, concentration and most importantly, they get to have fun. You can also make this a group activity to promote team work, sharing, turn taking and social skills, all while having fun with it.

Preparing for a newborn

September 3, 2019

Hey lovelies, I hope you’re all warm and well.
Preparing for a newborn can be quite daunting. There’s so much to think about. With so many baby products on the market, it can be tricky to figure out what you actually need, rather than all the adorable bits you just kinda want. As first time parents, we didn’t really have a clue where to start. I spent hours and hours researching baby essentials, reading other mummies check lists, watching videos and creating my own little wish lists. I thought I’d create a post on how we’re preparing for our newborn before he arrives. Not gonna lie, it’s been one of my favourite things about being pregnant.

Figuring out the essentials

Everyone will give you tips and advice (regardless of if you asked for it or not) on what items you actually need for baby. When you completely strip back the absolute essentials, there isn’t that much to it. We knew we wanted a travel system and spent ages researching which one suited our needs best. Similarly with sleeping arrangements, I knew I wanted a bedside crib for upstairs, and a traditional Moses basket for downstairs. In terms of feeding, combination feeding is the plan. With me breast feeding and expressing for bottles. Clothing wise you don’t need all those cute tiny outfits (although some are just too hard to resist). Basic vests and sleepsuits are just fine. Family and friends will no doubt inundate you with clothes so keep your buys minimal to avoid having waaayyy to much.
