Exploring, learning, and connecting 🌿💛
From number fun in the garden to walks through our local community, the children have been busy discovering, counting, and sharing smiles along the way. We even enjoyed a lovely visit with our friends at the care home, a wonderful chance for laughter, stories, and friendship across generations.

🌞Sunny Days at our outdoor nursery Land Ahoy 🌞

When the sun turned up the heat, our pre‑schoolers headed straight for the best place to cool down… Mabie Forest.🌳

We’re incredibly lucky to have direct access to such a beautiful woodland, giving children the chance to learn, explore and reset in nature whenever they need it. Forest adventures really are the best ❤️

🌞 Sunshine, Songs & Safe Adventures 🌞

Our babies and toddlers have been learning a new sun safety song this week and exploring all the wonderful play invitations. From bubbles and water play to counting games, balancing, and messy mud kitchen fun, they’ve been busy discovering the world around them in the sunshine.

We’ve been chatting about how to keep ourselves safe in the warmer weather: hats on, sunscreen, shady spots, and lots of drinks, all wrapped up in a catchy little tune the children are already beginning to join in with.

It’s been such a joy watching their confidence grow as they explore, investigate, and enjoy the simple magic of being outside together.

If you’d like to know more about our baby and toddler spaces, or arrange a visit, feel free to get in touch: [email protected] we’re always happy to welcome new families into our community.

Our babies and toddlers enjoyed a wonderful visit to the library for book bug this week! 📚

We love spending time in our local community, whether it’s visits to the park, visiting our elderly friends at the residential home or bookbug sessions at the library. We are curious little learners and love getting to know the community we live in!

Limited spaces available for August, get in touch for a no obligation visit: [email protected]

One of our after school children has had their hair cut for the Little Princess Trust. They’ve asked us to share their story here

Here are the photos of Isla’s hair cut on Friday to donate to the Little Princess Trust. When we visited the GP recently they remarked how long Isla’s hair was and said it would be wonderful if she ever cut it to donate it for a wig for a child with cancer. Isla found out more about it by watching operation ouch and doing some research online. She was very keen that another little girl or boy could have her hair as a wig to help them feel normal and happy while they were so ill getting the treatment. She had 47cm cut off her hair and is trying to raise as much money as she can for the Little Princess Trust charity because each wig costs £700 to make and fit.

🌈 Toddler Fun 🤩

There has been a huge burst of interest in numbers, colours, matching and early problem solving in our toddler room recently and the children have been leading the way with so much curiosity and confidence.

From exploring number recognition outdoors, to colour sorting, counting games, sensory play and early mark making, the team have been following the children’s interests and creating lots of playful opportunities to build on these skills in meaningful, hands on ways.

It’s been wonderful to watch their independence grow as they explore, experiment and make connections through play.
