Thr children totally love this club!

What a cracking start to another after school club at Thurlstone Primary School - a fully booked club is how we roll! We’ve made a start to our motorised buggies and every single clubber worked their socks off! Can’t wait for next week!

The Wise Donkey would really appreciate your help. We have lots of people visiting us that didn’t realise there is a children’s book and toy shop right on their doorstep!

We also have Adore Pen*stone at the same location (see map below!).

Two businesses, one location, same owners, one goal…to offer amazing gifting ideas at reasonable prices. Whoever you are buying for we have something for everyone 🎁

Please help us to spread the word by either simply telling your family & friends or sharing this post. It would be greatly appreciated 🙏

We are open this week Monday-Friday 9.30-4pm & Saturday 10-3pm.

A child who feels unsafe, unheard or overwhelmed cannot learn from punishment.

Behaviour is communication.
Tantrums, shouting, defiance, shutting down - these are often signs of stress, fear, frustration or unmet needs.

Children need connection before correction.
They need calm before consequences.
They need adults who ask “What happened to you?” instead of “What is wrong with you?”

The way adults respond in hard moments shapes a child’s brain, self-worth and future relationships far more than most people realise. Trauma-informed parenting focuses on emotional connection first because children regulate through relationships.

Every parent, carer, teacher and professional needs to read this. Please share if you believe children deserve understanding, not shame. ❤️

I can’t believe the wonderful and amazing Kate Brown is leaving us today. 🥺
Kate has been by my side as deputy head for a trillion years and I can't imagine what the coming years are going to be like without her!
We have been through so much together- loads of laughs, loads of tears and a million Ofsted inspections!
Running a school is such a tough job, so having someone by your side who is so kind and supportive is such a blessing.
I will miss Kate so much (we all will) but know I have a friend for life.
Love you KB and thank you! 🙏💕😘
