A huge thank you to all the families and children who joined us for our graduation party! It meant so much to celebrate together.

We hope it created a special, lasting memory for those children now spreading their wings and moving on to new pastures ❤️

Little hands, big learning! ✨

We LOVE getting those tiny fingers busy! From squishing playdough to threading beads and snipping with scissors, every little movement helps build the skills children need for big achievements like writing, dressing, and exploring the world independently 💛

Here are some of our favourite finger-fun activities:
✂️ Snip, snip with cutting and sticking
🧵 Threading beads and laces
🎨 Messy mark-making, painting, and doodling
🧩 Building, stacking, and puzzle solving
🖐️ Squishing, rolling, and splashing in sensory play

It might look like just play (and lots of fun!), but these activities are busy building strong hands, coordination, and confidence every single day 💪

So let’s celebrate the magic of play and keep those little fingers wiggling! 🌈

Play doesn’t always need to come in a box with instructions.

Some of the richest, most meaningful play happens when children are given loose parts—everyday, open-ended items like cardboard boxes, sticks, fabric scraps, bottle caps, or stones. These “random” objects don’t tell a child what they should be… which is exactly the point.

A toy with a fixed purpose often leads to a fixed way of playing. But a pile of loose parts? That can become a castle, a rocket, a café, a treasure map—whatever a child imagines in that moment.

When we step back and offer materials without rules, we’re giving children space to:
✨ Think creatively
✨ Solve problems
✨ Explore ideas freely
✨ Build confidence in their own thinking

It might look messy. It might look chaotic. But in that space, imagination is doing its most important work.

Next time you’re setting up play, try offering fewer “toys” and more possibilities. You might be surprised by what unfolds. 💡

🌱 6 Weeks of Growing & Learning 🌱

It’s been 6 weeks since we planted our seeds, and what an amazing journey it’s been! The children have loved watching them grow day by day while learning how to research and care for each plant 🌼

We’re now growing courgettes, squash and French beans alongside our earlier planted tomatoes, bok choi, strawberries, carrots, peppers, blueberries, raspberries, chilli's and cauliflowers – plus a wonderful variety of herbs 🌿

This has been such a lovely hands-on way for the children to learn about nature, patience, responsibility and where our food comes from. We’re so proud of how everything is growing! 🌞

“That’s not my education secretary,” said the little mouse. “Her priorities are too sponsored.”

“That’s not my education secretary. Her solutions are too Instagrammable.”

“That’s not my education secretary. Her SEND reforms are too invisible.”

“That’s not my education secretary. Her meetings contain too many influencers and not enough teachers.”

“That’s not my education secretary. Her statistics are too bendy.”

“That’s not my education secretary. Her empathy feels mass-produced.”

The little mouse went to the Department for Education.

There were ring lights.
There were media teams.
There was a camera crew following Gemma Collins down the corridor.

“Where are the parents?” asked the mouse.

“Busy filling in tribunal paperwork,” sighed the receptionist.

“Where are the teachers?” asked the mouse.

“Covering three classes and eating lunch over a photocopier,” whispered the office assistant.

“And where is the funding?” squeaked the mouse.

Everyone laughed for a very long time.

Then Gemma Collins arrived holding a branded tote bag and talking about “raising awareness.”

“Is this helping SEND families?” asked the mouse.

“No,” said the parents.
“No,” said the schools.
“No,” said the teaching assistants buying glue sticks with their own money.

But the cameras loved it.

“That’s definitely not my education secretary,” said the little mouse.
