In previous updates, we've used funny stories about children and funny things they have said to bring a smile to your lips. This time a few wonderful quotes to help you realise what a valuable contribution you are making to children's lives as a childminder and to bring a different kind of smile to your lips.

Children do say the funniest things and here are a few examples:

At school a young boy comes into the head teacher’s office shouting, "I've lost me len!"
The Headteacher replied, "You mean your lens" and the young boy said “No only one of them!”

A little girl came home after her first week in school and announces “I don’t think my teacher knows anything - all she does is ask us questions. She's a teacher, she ought to know the answers."
