Light, space and endless opportunities to learn. β˜€οΈ

The environment children spend their day in has a real impact on how they feel, play and learn.

That's why our nurseries have been thoughtfully designed with large windows that fill each room with natural light while giving children a view of the world outside.

Whether they're watching birds in the garden, noticing the rain, spotting a rainbow or seeing the seasons change, those everyday moments often spark conversations, curiosity and new discoveries.

We believe beautiful environments do more than look lovely, they help children feel calm, inspired and ready to explore every day.

🍦 National Ice Cream Day – Fun Activities to Try at Home

Tomorrow is National Ice Cream Day, and it's the perfect excuse to enjoy some family fun together.

Ice cream can be more than just a tasty treat – it can also inspire learning, creativity and conversation.

Here are a few simple activities to try at home:

🍦 Create Your Own Sundae
Let children choose their favourite toppings and practise decision-making while creating their own masterpiece.

🎨 Ice Cream Crafting
Make colourful ice cream cones using paper, paint, pom-poms or recycled materials. Great for developing fine motor skills and creativity.

πŸ”’ Ice Cream Counting Game
Draw or cut out ice cream scoops and encourage children to count, sort by colour or create simple patterns.

🌈 Flavour Taste Test
Try a few different flavours and talk about which ones are sweet, fruity, creamy or crunchy. This helps build vocabulary and encourages communication.

πŸ“š Story Time
Snuggle up with an ice cream-themed story and enjoy some quiet time together.

Most importantly, have fun, make memories and enjoy a little summer treat together.

What is your family's favourite ice cream flavour? Let us know in the comments below! πŸ¦πŸ’›

Building Community Connections ❀️

'Connect' is one of the core foundations of The Mulberry Bush curriculum and visits to local care homes are always filled with smiles, conversations and meaningful moments.

Experiences like these help children develop empathy, confidence and communication skills while creating valuable connections within the wider community.

Some of life's greatest lessons are learned through shared experiences.
