🎂 Happy 100th Birthday David Attenborough 🎈

Taking inspiration from the lifelong environmental advocacy of David Attenborough, we make the exploration of the natural world a top priority.

At Evie's Friends Childcare, experiencing the awe and wonder of the outdoors is a cornerstone of our curriculum. 🌻

As the great man himself so perfectly put it:

"No one will protect what they don't care about; and no one will care about what they have never experienced."🌱

⭐ We currently have a few limited spaces available—please get in touch to find out more.

There's nothing more exciting than discovering a bug on the slide!

🚌🚸 School Readiness 🏫📖

​The countdown to Reception is on! I'm so excited for Evie’s friends to take their next big step. 🏫🙌

Home - Starting Reception Your child's journey to school starts at home. We understand that all children develop at their own pace, and that we’re all learning from birth. With school readiness, some children will need more help than others.

Bluebells, sunshine, and sandwiches! 🌿

​We had the best time hunting for bluebells in the woods, burning off energy at the park, and finishing it all off with a perfect picnic. 💜☀️

​How are you enjoying this gorgeous Spring weather? 👇

⭐ I currently have a space available for a little explorer aged 12-24 months. Please get in touch to find out more.

We're so lucky to have this great opportunity to see bluebells right on our doorstep. 🌱

There's a scavenger hunt for the children with a medal at the end. We also enjoyed bacon buttys and hotdogs in the barn afterwards. 🌭

🌼 Bluebells and nature wands ☀️

This morning we headed to Englefield Estate in search of bluebells, and we weren't disappointed! The woodland was a sea of violet, and we were careful to stick to the paths to keep them protected. 🌸

​While we explored, we went on a treasure hunt for our nature wands! We gathered:

​✨ Fallen sticks and feathers
​🌼 Bright dandelions and daisies
​🍃 Interesting leaves

​It was so lovely chatting with all the friendly dog walkers passing by—everyone was in such a great mood! 🐾

​We finished the adventure at the tearooms for some healthy snacks
and frothy babychinos! The perfect end to a magical spring morning. ☕✨
