BuB’s 20th anniversary at Richford Street
Posted by Bringing up Baby under: Richford; news .
At Richford Street our party theme on Friday 8th May was most definitely ducks and the colour scheme was yellow. There were ducks of all shapes and sizes adorning the walls, hanging from the ceilings and even floating in the paddling pool. The 3-5’s room even had their own ‘Duck Gallery’ which consisted of small canvas squares that each child had painted a duck on. These will be auctioned off to the highest bidder and the proceeds will go to charity.Michelle, our Deputy in 3-5’s, entertained everyone young and old alike by dressing up in her home made duck costume and waddling around handing out food and drinks. As a staff team we pushed our culinary skills to new heights by baking and decorating our own BUB duck cakes with some interesting results. The children helped to make and decorate cup cakes which they had for tea.
During the day there were lots of fun activities such as ‘Lucky duck dip’ where the children could catch a floating duck and exchange it for a prize. We also had entertainers performing a puppet show, face painting and balloon modelling. Our under twos had fun romping around in the baby ball pond and bouncy castle.
We were very fortunate to have Sue Woodford, Company Director as our VIP guest, who pitched in to help with the baby room tea and blew out the candles on the birthday cake.
We ended the day with a little BUB birthday present for every child to take home. For the adults we had a raffle with the top prize being a free tennis lesson donated by one of our baby room parents. It was a messy noisy afternoon but most importantly it was fun and everyone went home happy.
