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

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….

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

This Robin is always about when I’m in the woods but keeps its distance when my 1:1 Forest School children are near. It comes much closer when I’m alone & getting ready to go home 🥰 #Forestschooladventure #robins #naturetherapy #mindfulwalking
