Our little chefs at Helmsley have been making the most of the fruits growing in our garden! We picked ripe plums and apples straight from the trees, then washed, prepared and carefully chopped the fruit before stewing it ready to make our very own crumbles. π©βπ³π
A wonderful hands-on experience exploring where food comes from, seasonal produce and practical life skills, with a delicious reward at the end! π
And yesβ¦ they were absolutely YUM! π₯°

Ready, steadyβ¦ GO! πΏπββοΈ
Our adventurers at our Acomb nursery setting have been putting their bodies and minds to the test with an outdoor obstacle course! π§ββοΈπ£

Some conversations are hard to find the words for. π
When a child experiences the loss of someone they love, knowing what to say, and how to help them make sense of what has happened, can feel overwhelming.
Our latest blog explores ways to approach this sensitive subject with honesty, care and compassion, offering ideas to help you feel a little more confident when supporting a child through loss.

Keeping cool has never been so much fun! π¦βοΈ
Our Helmsley children have been making the most of the warm weather with plenty of water play, splashing, scooping and using nets to catch the floating ducks. π¦
Slowly but surely they're becoming Motivated Movers, developing their coordination, confidence and physical skills - all while having lots of fun!

There was plenty of excitement at Hutton-Le-Hole as the children watched the tractors hard at work cutting the grass for hay! ππΎ
The experience sparked lots of curious conversations about hay bales, what they're used for and why they're so important on local farms. Real-life experiences like these inspire curiosity, encourage communication and help children make meaningful connections with the world around them. π

The beautiful weather has given our children at Helmsley the perfect opportunity to explore the great outdoors and embrace every adventure that nature has to offer.
Armed with nothing more than a few sticks and their incredible imaginations, our children transformed them into magic wands, walking crutches and giant spoons for mixing up mystical flying potions! πͺπ§ββοΈπ³
Outdoor play is about so much more than burning off energy. Every walk, every discovery and every imaginative game helps our children grow into Motivated Movers who are curious, active and eager to explore.
We're making the most of these sunny days, creating magical memories one adventure at a time. πβοΈ
