What a wonderful day out at Brockholes Nature Reserve! 🌿🐞

We had lots of fun exploring the adventure play area, where the children climbed, balanced, and moved confidently in different ways. Our bug hunt encouraged curiosity as we looked closely at mini beasts and talked about what we could see. We also enjoyed a lovely picnic together, sharing food, taking turns, and enjoying time as a group. 🍃🧺

During our nature walk, we talked about the plants, birds, and wildlife we spotted, using new vocabulary and sharing our observations.

Back at Brockholes, as it was Dinosaur Week 🦖, we extended our learning with a fun dinosaur-themed craft activity. The children enjoyed cutting, sticking, and gluing to create their own dinosaur crafts, and we talked about dinosaurs, their favourite parts of the day, and what they had discovered. ✂️🎨

A fantastic day full of fresh air, exploration, creativity, and learning through play. 💚

Had a fantastic day out at AppleCast Farm near Parbold! 🐐🐑🐇

The kids absolutely loved meeting and feeding the animals, exploring the outdoor play area, and enjoying all the open space. There’s also a lovely café for a bite to eat, making it a great family day out.

If you’re looking for something fun, affordable, and perfect for little ones, I’d definitely recommend a visit! 🍎🌳💚

🌳☀️ Fun at the little park! ☀️🌳

We had a lovely time at our local park today! The children enjoyed climbing, sliding, balancing, running and exploring, with plenty of laughter along the way.

Outdoor play gives children the opportunity to build confidence, develop gross motor skills, learn to take turns and enjoy the benefits of fresh air and exercise.

Another fun-filled day making happy memories together! 💚

💦🌈 Colourful water play fun! 🌈💦

Today the children had a fantastic time exploring coloured water using measuring jugs, tubes and funnels. They loved pouring, filling, mixing and watching the water flow in different directions, making their own exciting discoveries through play.

This type of sensory play helps to develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, early maths concepts such as measuring and capacity, problem-solving and language, while encouraging curiosity and creativity.

There were lots of smiles, laughter and learning in the sunshine today! ☀️💚

🏅🌈 Great fun at Jellybeans Sports Day! 🌈🏅

We had a fantastic time taking part in the Jellybeans Sports Day! The children loved joining in with the races, cheering on their friends and celebrating everyone’s achievements.

It was a wonderful morning full of smiles, laughter and active play. Events like these help children develop confidence, coordination, teamwork and resilience, while most importantly having lots of fun together.

Well done to all of our little superstars – you were amazing! 🌟💚
