forest school activities
🌿 Learning inspired by NATURE, led by CHILDREN 🌿
At our nursery, every day is an adventure built around a child-centred approach to inspirational learning. Through play, exploration and just the right amount of muddy magic, children grow in confidence and self-esteem—one bug hotel at a time!
✨ We offer holistic opportunities to connect with nature:
🔍 discovering the outdoors with magnifying glasses
🎨 creating beautiful nature art
🐞 building bug hotels and sensory spaces
🌧️ splashing in puddles
🌳 and soaking up the wonder under the trees
Because childhood should be filled with curiosity, courage and joy. 🌈
🌿 What will your child be doing during our Forest School Fridays? 🌿
Let’s just say… no two days are the same – and that’s the magic! ✨

our garden
Every day children can also access our engaging garden. It offers plenty of opportunities to enhance each of the areas of learning: literacy and maths, physical and creative development, personal and social, communication and understanding of the world.
Protected by huge awnings, children can use the garden in all weather conditions!
Our beautiful wooden home corner ✨🌿
- where imagination sizzles and little hands get busy…
🥕👩🍳 children cook up a storm with real veggies in our custom-made wooden kitchen
🪵💦 mix up magical mud pies (messy play = the best play!)
🌞🧺 host garden picnics under the umbrella, rain or shine
🌸🛋️ or simply unwind in a calm and cosy space designed for comfort and creativity
Every detail is made to spark joy, imagination and purposeful play,
because learning should look like this much fun!
🔤🧲 Learning + Play = Magic!
Our children love exploring letters and sounds using alphabet and magnetic boards, while our outdoor tables turn into writing stations, puzzle zones or epic LEGO & DUPLO build sites! 📝🧩🧱
🧗♂️ Our popular wooden climbing frame, set on soft, rubbery tiles, gives little adventurers the chance to climb, balance and build confidence safely.
👶✨ Babies especially enjoy our sensory board, designed to stimulate curiosity and fine motor skills through textures, colours and movement. They also love our imaginative mural.
🌱🪴 Hands-on nature learning happens every day!
From digging and planting to comparing how grass seeds grow outdoors vs. in a plastic bag indoors — children become little scientists observing real changes over time. 🐛
They love using magnifying glasses to search for worms and insects, fostering wonder and respect for the natural world. 🔍
🚲🪵🌈 For gross motor fun, there are:
• bikes and trikes
• stepping stones
• giant parachute play
• …and a whole range of outdoor equipment to keep little bodies moving and smiling!
Every day brings fresh air, freedom and fun, helping each child grow strong, curious and confident.
