Hi all, Many of you know our lovely colleague Janine. Heartbreakingly her son Ryan is currently in the final stages of a brave battle with cancer.

Week one at Outdoor Explorers is officially in the books, and our hearts are completely full! 🌲✨ We spent the last few days following the kids' curiosity—whether that meant digging in the mud, discovering bugs, or building forest forts—creating a warm, caring space where they lead the way and learn at their own pace. But the absolute best part? Seeing bonds form so naturally out here in nature. Hand-in-hand adventures, shared giggles, and helping each other over fallen logs… the real takeaway from this week is that friends for life have officially been made! 🥹💚

As Helen Keller once said Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. It's what sunflowers do.

💖This image beautifully embodies the spirit of Outdoor Explorers Preschool. Children creating joyful moments in nature, illustrating just how outdoor play fosters physical confidence, balance, spatial awareness while naturally nurturing core social skills like friendship, empathy, and cooperation. Side by side, in the kind act of holding hands as they balance, reflects trust, mutual support, kindness and teamwork. 💖
