Jelly Tots Rodeo Ball 2025

🐮✨ Jelly Tots Rodeo Ball – A Night to Remember! ✨🐮
What an incredible celebration we had at this year’s Jelly Tots Rodeo Ball! Set against the stunning backdrop of The Quarry Farm in Byford, our team came together for an evening filled with laughter, connection, and plenty of country spirit.

A standout moment of the night was definitely the bucking bull, which brought out everyone’s competitive (and hilarious) side. The energy, the cheers, and the big smiles made it a highlight we won’t soon forget!

To close out the evening, we proudly presented our Jelly Awards, recognising some truly deserving team members. Congratulations to all our winners—your passion, positivity, and commitment to our Jelly Tots family shine every day.

As we wrap up another wonderful year, we’re already excited for what 2026 will bring. With a team as vibrant and dedicated as ours, we
know the best is yet to come!

What we learned

This month has been full of excitement, hands-on learning, and festive fun at our centre!

We have been incredibly lucky to have a chicken hatchery join our centre this month. The children have loved checking in each day to watch the eggs hatch and see the tiny chicks grow, Our lovely educator Summa, is even taking three chicks home! She’ll continue to keep us updated so the children can follow their progress as they grow.

We also celebrated National Fairy Bread Day this week! The children created their own fairy bread and even convinced Educator Maeve to try fairy bread for the very first time!
The centre is starting to look a lot like Christmas! We have begun decorating for the festive season, and the excitement is
building.

We’re also holding a door decorating competition, educators and children in each room are teaming up to create the most
magical door design. We can’t wait to see the creativity shine!
It’s been a wonderful month of learning, laughter, and celebration. Thank you to our amazing children, families, and educators for making our centre such a joyful place to be.


Staff Shoutout

This month we would love to shoutout Maeve, our incredible
Barnyard Room Leader and Educational Leader! Maeve is
always coming up with fantastic, out-of-the-box activities that spark curiosity, creativity, and joy in every child. It’s no surprise that all the children absolutely adore her and eagerly look forward to what amazing idea she’ll bring to life next.

Maeve is also our sustainability queen – constantly finding clever and meaningful ways to reuse and repurpose materials. Her passion for both children and the environment truly shines through in everything she does.

We are so lucky to have Maeve on our team. Parents often say they’d love to put Maeve in a box and take her home that’s just how special she is!

Thank you, Maeve, for all the heart, creativity, and dedication you bring every single day.

What we learned

What a wonderful and busy month we’ve had at the centre! The children and educators have been full of excitement, creativity, and kindness as we moved through a range of special events and celebrations.

🎄 Christmas Preparations Begin
The festive spirit has officially arrived! We’ve started setting up our Christmas decorations, and the children have loved helping bring the magic to  life. Our centre foyer is now beautifully transformed with Christmas displays, lights, and cheerful colours. The children have been working on themed crafts, adding their own special touches to help make the centre feel warm and festive.

🌺 Remembrance Day
Earlier this month, we took time to acknowledge Remembrance Day. The children engaged in meaningful discussions and age-appropriate activities to show respect and understanding. We created poppy artwork, read stories, and held quiet moments to honour those who served. It was a reflective and thoughtful part of our month.

🍞 Fairy Bread Day Fun
Fairy Bread Day was a big hit! The children enjoyed sprinkling their colourful toppings and creating their own yummy treats. It was a joyful, light-hearted celebration filled with laughter,
shared moments, and lots of happy, sprinkle covered smiles.

💛 World Kindness Day
We wrapped up the month with World Kindness Day, focusing on what it means to show kindness to ourselves, our friends, and our community. The children participated in activities that highlighted gentle words, helping hands, and caring hearts.
We saw so many beautiful acts of kindness throughout the day—it was truly heartwarming.
