A wonderful day at Forest School, time with some funny small humans, a bit of Animal Therapy and gardening…. Back home and so happy to have some surprisingly close interaction with Soozie my Jumping Spider #ForestSchool #curiouschildren #AnimalTherapy #gardening #naturetherapy

Such a happy Forest School session at Blossom Years Childcare, Chislehurst. I got time to work on a new Nature Habitat and notice signs of Spring & curious treasures to fill my own emotional bucket! #Forestschooladventures #EYFS #SENinclusion #Naturetherapy #Animaltherapy #Appreciatethesmallstuff

A special moment at Forest School today. The lovely horses in a field next to us like to interact with the children. A little boy rushed to find me, worried the horse would eat the bale twine, this is the moment he handed it to me for safety Today he turned 3! #animaltherapy #empathy #childled

Keeping play alive. Thank you to everyone who continues to keep play at the centre of practice. Children’s curiosity and joy is so important. Play and learning has a place, holistic development too. Let’s collectively champion a true child centred approach, that is play. #PlayMatters

Thanks, I never thought we’d get through it but we did. A friend once told me that, “if you give them good values , they’ll come back to you.” - I’ll never forget her 🥰

Don’t think we need worry about drugs anymore, unless his penchant for sleepytime herbal tea & rescue remedy’s going to be a problem going forward! Then there’s youngest who likes to ‘catwalk’ outfits before he goes out & discuss how he’s attempting to style his hair & what ‘look’ he’s going for!

Just having a laugh to myself remembering the nightmare we went through with our eldest when he reached 17 & was going through that horrible period with us….

Visited a Care Home with the Small Therapy Animals from Kings Wood Shetlands & Friends this morning. A lovely end to the week where we got to chat with some very lovely humans & carers. royalalfredseafarers.co.uk/about-us/bel...
