WHY GROSS MOTOR DEVELOPMENT MATTERS 🛝
At Bubbly Hippos, we emphasise gross motor development because these skills involve large muscle movements, such as running, jumping, climbing, and balancing.
It matters because:
• Build strength and coordination
• Improve balance and posture
• Develop confidence in movement
• Prepare for everyday tasks like writing

Bees are climate heroes! 🐝 Bees have a reputation for pollinating flowers and making honey, but did you know they also play a role in preserving the health of threatened ecosystems and grasslands?
While bees are often celebrated for their vital contributions to producing the food we eat, it is easy to forget that they are also instrumental in seed production for the thousands of species of flowering plants growing within forests, prairies, wetlands, and more. Let’s remember that these buzzing creatures are important to our eco- and food systems.
Happy Bee Day, hippos!

Our little ones showed us how to keep their hands and teeth clean, as the Theme of the week is Hygiene.
Have a look at how fun they demonstrated cleanliness 😁.
We celebrate special days by making it *extra* special for our hippos.
This video is a to our Easter celebration. 🐰
From morning hellos to afternoon goodbyes - every day at Bubbly Hippos is filled with smiles, learning, and little moments that matter.
This is what a happy school day looks like ✨
Starting or settling into school takes time, and that’s okay.
One of the most effective ways to support young children is by keeping mornings calm and predictable.
A simple routine, gentle reassurance, and patience help children feel safe and confident as they start their day.
