Towards the end of the afternoon, just as it was getting dark, the children had fun waving sparklers around in the air as well as tucking into hotdogs!

We will be doing the usual art, craft, game and activities, as well as eating hot dogs for tea and having sparklers!
For safety, if your child is attending on this day, please make sure they have gloves so they can use sparklers!
As part of the assessment process, assessors from Early Years Wales gathered evidence relating to children's experiences, staff practice and the leadership and management of our setting as well as a verifier visiting to observe and speak to children and staff.
The award focused on three key areas of our practice:
1) Managing and developing practice whilst ensuring a safe environment – including
leadership, recruitment and staff development, wellbeing, safeguarding and
the day-to-day management of our setting.
2) Children's health and wellbeing – how we support children's physical health, emotional wellbeing,
relationships and sense of belonging.
3) A holistic approach to children's play, learning and development – how our
play experiences, learning opportunities and environment encourage
curiosity, independence, communication and development.
Achieving this award is a wonderful recognition of the dedication and hard work of our entire team and our ongoing commitment to providing a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment in which every child can learn, develop and thrive.
We would also like to thank all our families for their continued trust and support and for being such an important part of the Little Chums family.

They looked for signs in nature of the arrival of Autumn and collected fallen leaves and tree branches, and pine cones.
And throwing big bundles of leaves into the air is great fun!

Whether being creative, learning or just having fun indoors or out, they just haven't stopped!

We will be doing our customary arts and crafts throughout the week leading up to Halloween and having a Halloween-themed party in place of our usual lunch on Thursday 29th October.
Children are welcome to dress up in a Halloween costume and there will be a prize in each room for the best!
In November we are raising money for 'Children in Need', so if your child is wearing fancy dress for the Halloween party, please donate at least £1 using our 'JustGiving' page. There are posters (see right) around Little Chums with a QR code to our donation page, or use the direct link below.

The children arrived at Little Chums sporting some fantastic hairstyles, with plenty of colour, crazy creations and wonderfully wild hair on display. The staff couldn't let the children have all the fun either and joined in with some wild hairstyles of their own!
There was plenty more fun throughout the day, with party food to enjoy followed by lots of music and dancing. The children showed off their best moves on the dance floor and enjoyed playing some traditional party games together.
The day was an extra special one for some of our older children as it was also their very last day at Little Chums before moving on to their next adventure. After all the time they have spent with us, it was lovely to be able to finish their final day surrounded by their friends, having lots of fun together.
It was a wonderful way to bring our summer to a close, filled with laughter, dancing, some truly wild hair and lots of happy memories!
We wish all of our leavers the very best as they take their next big step. We will miss you!
