We’ve had the most amazing summer fundraising for the wonderful residents of Sutton Rose Care Home who are living with dementia. 💕🌸

Helen, owner of Minimeroleplay, has been running her fantastic Starting School sessions for children joining Reception in 2026, and throughout the summer I’ve been joining her to sell raffle tickets and help raise money for the care home. 🎟️✨

Our fabulous raffle hamper included three Starting School books donated by me, a beautiful teddy from Emma at Popping Creations 🧸 and a £20 Cookie Crumb & Co voucher from Sarah. 🍪

🎉 Well done to Natasha on your win! We hope you enjoy your hamper!

We raised £311, plus an incredibly generous last-minute £100 cash donation on the day of the draw, taking us to an amazing £411! A huge thank you to the kind gentleman who donated — your generosity means so much. ❤️

The money will help fund activities and treats for the residents, including a magic painting workshop that I’ll be running, as well as books, games and jigsaws. 🎨📚🧩 The care home will also decide how best to use the remaining funds, with ideas including special experiences such as a show or a meal out for residents and their families. ❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who bought a ticket, donated, supported or shared our fundraiser — and to Helen, Emma and Sarah for your generosity. 🥰

We couldn’t have done it without you! 💕

✨ GIVE YOUR LITTLE ONE THE SWEETEST START TO SCHOOL! ✨🎒📚🍪

We've teamed up with Mini Me Roleplay to create the cutest School Starter Bundle – the perfect way to celebrate those exciting first days at school! 💛

Each bundle includes:

📚 A fun phonics storybook that's ideal for children taking their first steps into reading. Packed with catchy rhymes, engaging stories and lovable characters, each book helps build confidence while making reading fun. Choose from 20 delightful titles, including favourites such as:

🐄 Cow Takes a Bow
🐝 Bee Makes Tea
🦝 Raccoon on the Moon
🦒 Giraffe in a Bath
🦩 Flamingo Plays Bingo

🎨🍪 A Mini Me Paint Your Own Cookie! Use the edible paint palette, the included paintbrush and a little water to bring your cookie to life before enjoying your delicious creation! 😍

💥 The best bit? The whole bundle is just £4.95 – less than the usual price of the book alone (£5.99)! 🤯

Whether you're getting ready for Reception or simply looking for a fun way to encourage a love of reading, this bundle is the perfect mix of learning, creativity and a tasty treat.

🛍️ Available now at Minimeroleplay or send either of us a message to order yours. Be quick – these bundles are already proving really popular! 💛📚🍪

📚✨ Book Hunt Alert ✨📚 Look for a Book spotlight!

We're so excited to share that our wonderful friends at Trinity Respite Services are once again supporting our Community Book Hunt this summer! 💚

This time, the service users at Trinity House in Kingsbury will be hiding books around the local area ready for you and your little ones to find and discover! We can't wait to see the photos of your adventures as you hide them! 📖

Seekers: If you're lucky enough to find one, it's yours to:
📚 Keep and enjoy
🎁 Gift to a friend
📖 Read and then rehide for someone else to find

We absolutely love our community book hunts, and it's even more special knowing they're bringing people together through the joy of reading. 🥰

👀 Keep your eyes peeled for clues to each book's hiding place, and if you find one, don't forget to snap a photo and tag us using or on our Facebook group Look for a Book — Sutton Coldfield and surrounding areas. We'd love to see where the books end up!

Happy hunting and happy reading! 🍃📚💛
