Just one lovely day in a very busy week which hasn’t even finished yet! @outdooredchat #forestschool #earlyyearsmatters #getthechildrenoutside

Saw lots of gorgeous Butterflies on our Mindful Walk in Kings Wood yesterday but this one definitely stopped to pose for us! #forestschooladventures #mindfulwalking #noticethesmallthings #naturetherapy #peacockbutterfly

A wonderful day at Forest School, time with some funny small humans, a bit of Animal Therapy and gardening…. Back home and so happy to have some surprisingly close interaction with Soozie my Jumping Spider #ForestSchool #curiouschildren #AnimalTherapy #gardening #naturetherapy

Still time to sign your young person up for this if you are in the Surrey area 😊 #animaltherapy #animalcare #wellbeing #mindfulness #empathy #socialskills

When we took the Kingswood Shetlands & Friends, Therapy Animals to UCA Epsom 😊 #studentenrichmentday #animaltherapy #mindfulness #wellbeing #empathy #friendship #connection

Such a happy Forest School session at Blossom Years Childcare, Chislehurst. I got time to work on a new Nature Habitat and notice signs of Spring & curious treasures to fill my own emotional bucket! #Forestschooladventures #EYFS #SENinclusion #Naturetherapy #Animaltherapy #Appreciatethesmallstuff

A special moment at Forest School today. The lovely horses in a field next to us like to interact with the children. A little boy rushed to find me, worried the horse would eat the bale twine, this is the moment he handed it to me for safety Today he turned 3! #animaltherapy #empathy #childled

Well we did come home and I think they were pleased to see us! #schnauzerlove #cockapoo 🥰

But when are you coming home? #schnauzer #cockapoo

Yay! 😁 just spotted in Iceland 🐋 #humpbackwhale #iceland #bucketlistevent #happyvalentinesday

Keeping play alive. Thank you to everyone who continues to keep play at the centre of practice. Children’s curiosity and joy is so important. Play and learning has a place, holistic development too. Let’s collectively champion a true child centred approach, that is play. #PlayMatters

It’s lovely! Even without any veg yet! 🤭

The “I’m too cool to have parents look”

While trotting across the frozen river, this coyote paused to look back at me for a moment 😊 #mammals 🌿

Thanks, I never thought we’d get through it but we did. A friend once told me that, “if you give them good values , they’ll come back to you.” - I’ll never forget her 🥰

Don’t think we need worry about drugs anymore, unless his penchant for sleepytime herbal tea & rescue remedy’s going to be a problem going forward! Then there’s youngest who likes to ‘catwalk’ outfits before he goes out & discuss how he’s attempting to style his hair & what ‘look’ he’s going for!

Just having a laugh to myself remembering the nightmare we went through with our eldest when he reached 17 & was going through that horrible period with us….

My lap obviously wasn’t comfy enough and needed some rearrangements #therapyanimals

Visited a Care Home with the Small Therapy Animals from Kings Wood Shetlands & Friends this morning. A lovely end to the week where we got to chat with some very lovely humans & carers. royalalfredseafarers.co.uk/about-us/bel...

Updating my profile before heading out for another exciting Forest School session at Blossom Years Childcare, Imperial Way! #forestschool #naturetherapy #mindfulwalking #animaltherapy

Enjoyed a Mindful Walking session in Kings Wood, Sanderstead this morning & managed to avoid being hit by a catapult arrow! 😂 #forestschooladventure #naturecrafting #mindfulwalkingwithchildren

When your Schnauzer’s a bit broken…. #sleepyschnauzer

It is a mighty fine staff …. 🥰

Young boy with spade looking very proud of a rock he’s just dug up covered in moss.

It took all my negotiation skills & a lot of gentle persuasion to avoid this beautiful rock being ‘stolen’ during our Mindful Walk in Kings Wood, Sanderstead today! #forestschooladventure #mindfulwalkingwithchildren

Therapy Animal session at Castle Hill Academy today. We enjoyed putting on a little fashion show while the children were at lunch. It made the humans laugh although Toothless, Cupid & Hope didn’t seem very impressed! #animaltherapy #laughtertherapy #crochetcrafting #SENinclusion
