Hey there, My name is Claire, Childminder, Mum, Book Advocate, and Creator of Brilliant Ideas.

With a passion for childminding and a deep love for books, I'm thrilled to offer my fellow childminders a treasure trove of bookish play activity ideas that will inspire, engage, and empower the children in your care. Drawing on over nine years of experience in childcare and a keen understanding of the transformative power of storytelling, I've curated a collection of imaginative and educational activities that seamlessly blend the magic of books with the joy of play. From interactive story sessions and themed crafts to literacy-rich games and sensory experiences, each activity is designed to captivate young minds, spark creativity, and foster a lifelong love for reading. By providing ready-to-use resources and practical guides, I'm here to support my fellow childminders in creating enriching and memorable learning experiences that leave a lasting impact on the children they care for.
