It has always been the dream to have an outdoor setting. Iโve been searching for the perfect outdoor space since before I even opened HoneyBees ๐ and Iโve been lucky enough to finally find it!
It is the most perfect space in Blakedown. Lots of open space, a woodland, a wildflower meadow in the summer, a nearby lake, lots of wildlifeโฆ it is such a beautiful setting for children to flourish while connecting with nature in the great outdoors ๐ณ
We expect to begin our new outdoor adventure in April following the Easter break, which also coincides with a house move. We are relocating to Pedmore, Stourbridge, where weโll be based in a garden lodge, with both the new outdoor setting and our allotment being just a few minutes drive away from my new home ๐ก
The move enables me to grow my staff team, allowing us to work in two groups;
HoneyBees (1-2s) and
WILDflowers (3-4s).
We realise the positive effects of mixed age groups on childrensโ development, and all ages will have opportunities to enjoy the space together everydayโฆafter all, HoneyBees are always found amongst the WILDflowers! ๐๐ผ
The September waiting list is now open, so please message to enquire. As always, spaces are extremely limited due to our low adult:child ratios. Parents of 3-4 year olds wishing for their child to be added to a wait list for WildFlowers Outdoor Kindergarten, please bear in mind that any younger children joining us as HoneyBees (12 months-2 yrs) ๐ will automatically be guaranteed a space at WILDFlowers ๐ผ so will need to be prioritised over the waiting list.
Before contacting us, please ensure we match your requirements:
We are a term time only setting.
We open Monday-Thursday 7.30-4.30.
We take children from 12 months old.
We do not offer half days or school pick ups.
We are an OUTDOOR setting, which meansโฆ
We get muddy, we get wet, we run a lot and we fall down, we climb, we scrape our hands and knees, we are outside rain or shine.
BUT, it also meansโฆ
We build strong immune systems, we develop a deep connection to the environment, and we have increased confidence, mental wellbeing, emotional regulation, physical health, resilience, creativity, and team-working and problem solving skills.
We are renovating the stable block to make use of in extreme weather at the outdoor setting, as well as to use for napping and changing etc, but our WILDflowers ๐ผ will predominantly be outdoors year-round. There is no such thing as bad weather- only bad clothing. If you donโt like the idea of your child being out in the cold or getting muddy then we definitely arenโt the setting for you!
But the outdoors is the most beneficial environment for little humans to learn and grow ๐ We just need to dress appropriately (thin layers, waterproofs, fleeces, windbreakers, hats, scarves, gloves, sun hats, sunglasses, sunscreen).
If you would like to join our HoneyBees family on our new WILDflowers adventure, then please message to enquire for a childcare space starting this Autumn term ๐๐ผ
Government Funding, Childcare Vouchers, and Tax-free Childcare accepted.
We are beyond excited to make lots of new amazing memories in this beautiful new space ๐
