Ampfield Childcare Hub

🌿🍃 As part of our commitment to environmental sustainability, we’re embracing the wonderful world around us to inspire creativity.

Our little explorers ventured into the forest to discover natural materials, using them to create their own unique artwork 🌳✨

🌱💚 We were absolutely delighted with their masterpieces! Each creation reflects incredible care, attention to detail, and a growing curiosity about the natural environment 🌍🍀

💚✨ What a wonderful surprise for our Preschool and Explorers! 🎼🌿

This morning, we welcomed Gabby for a delightful music show, and what a joy it was! 🎶

The children sat beautifully and were fully engaged, watching Gabby’s movements and copying along with big smiles.

They sang with enthusiasm and loved stepping into their roles as bakers and customers; such fantastic imagination at work! 🧑‍🍳

The highlight of the morning had to be the vibrant scarves, which they waved happily in the air 🧣

Well done, Preschool and Explorers — you were all AMAZING! 👏🌿

Thank you so much to Gabby for joining us at both Ampfield and Hursley today 💚

💚🌿 One of the best things about our Ampfield setting is our beautiful location 🌳💚

It gives the children so many opportunities to experience and observe wildlife up close 🍃

Today, we were lucky enough to be visited by some wonderful pheasants 🐦💚

What a special moment for everyone to enjoy! 🌿✨

🌿🍃 A Magical Forest Classroom This Spring 🍃🌿

🌱 Spring is coming, and the forest is coming alive with it! Fresh green buds are appearing on the trees, bright shoots are pushing up through the soil, and new life is all around us.

🍃 The season of growth is the perfect time for our little learners to grow too.

🌿 In our nurturing environment, children are surrounded by the calming beauty of nature, a space where they feel safe, valued, and inspired every single day.

💚 Through play based exploration to foster curiosity, every stick becomes a magic wand, every leaf a discovery, and every woodland trail an adventure waiting to unfold.

💚We champion respect and inclusion, teaching children to care for one another and the natural world around them. Everyone belongs here, just like every plant and creature has its place in the forest.

🌟 We focus on building confidence and independence, encouraging children to take safe risks, try new things, and celebrate their achievements — big and small.

🏡 Collaboration with families and the local community is at the heart of what we do, growing strong roots together so our children can truly flourish.

🌼 As the forest blooms this spring, so do the minds, hearts, and imaginations of our youngest learners.
