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

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

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….

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
