Don’t think because I’m little that I can’t… I can! ✨🦋

Our pre-schoolers enjoyed using the hammers this morning. Strong hands and focused minds learning through real tools, outdoor experiences and creativity 🔨🌺👷‍♂️🌸🌳

Baby Buds Hallelujah 🌱

I’ve popped a few Baby Buds sessions onto Bookwhen for June 🤱🏾🌞

I thought I might share a few of my fave snaps from our summer ‘25 sessions 🫶🏼

If you appreciate slow mornings outdoors, connecting with nature and having a good yap with other new mamas, then Baby Buds is for you 🌿

We begin gently in the barn with a few songs, bubbles and a warm welcome before heading out to explore nature through the senses ✨

Babies are invited to touch, squish, listen, watch and discover the world around them through simple sensory experiences inspired by the world around us 🌎

Expect simple water play, natural textures, flowers, herbs, light, reflections, messy play and plenty of time to simply be outdoors together 🌿

I’ll be there offering a warm up of tea and a light snack to nourish you, some questionable singing and a smile ☕️

Sessions are open to babies, crawlers and cruisers 🌼

Please note: Sessions take place outdoors. Babies will encounter mud, dirt, uneven ground and natural loose parts such as sticks, leaves and petals throughout the session. Blankets and mats are laid down, but it is important to be wary. Water play will mean babies may get wet and so a change of clothes is recommended. In the event of adverse weather, the session will be rescheduled to ensure comfort for all.

You can book via www.bookwhen.com/buds (link in bio - Instagram). I’d love to welcome you 🌳

This BTS is truly riveting content.

I really do get asked all the time so I thought it would be cool to share 🤷🏻‍♀️

OF COURSE I whisper my spells and the magic carpet flies in to transport resources to site ✨💫

Shout out to my friends who regularly pass on the bits their children have grown out of 🤎 or even just interesting recyclable materials they come across! So many of my resources are pre-loved, gifted treasures.

I love giving toys a second home and keeping things in circulation rather than going to waste. Thank you for helping keep Buds stocked 🌿

Celebrating the incredible Sir David Attenborough, who turns 100 this Friday!
🦍🦕🦜🐠🦇🐳🦥

Tuesday Tots gathered in a circle and learnt about the amazing things Sir David has done for our planet and how his groundbreaking documentaries have helped us understand wildlife and ecosystems, inspiring generations to care for and protect the Earth. I do suspect the main take away from this conversation will be that he will need 100 candles on his cake, WOW! 🤭🕯️

We then became explorers 🧭 🗺️

🐾 Everyone searched for animal tracks and learnt how to identify them
🏜️ We dove into different landscapes, from the desert to under the sea
🦜 Some of us created our own beautiful Birds of Paradise (one of David’s favourites) with sticky dough
📺 Others became documentarians and presented live on Forest School TV, just like the main man himself!
🎨 We painted beetles and headed out on a minibeast safari.

Our celebrations concluded by singing Happy Birthday and baking mud cakes in the outdoor kitchen. Not to forget the Hawthorn and Lilac confetti!🪻

100 years of curiosity, wonder, and protecting our precious planet 🌍💚

Happy Birthday . Your life will be celebrated up and down the country by many children this week, which really is a heartwarming thought 🌎

Early May Day celebrations ✨🌸

A homemade maypole and some traditional folk music made us feel so happy and joyful!

We talked about May Day and the magic of the maypole, we danced around it into spring with our ribbons and bells!

We truly filled a dull weather day with colour, music and movement.

A little something for you x
🌺🌞🌿🍄🔥🌛🦋🌳🧶🫖

“You should do a Buds session for grown-ups!”
“Do you do adult birthday parties!?”
“I feel like this is good for my own wellbeing!”

I hear comments like these all the time, and I’ve been wanting to channel this into something for a little while now. So here we go…

Under our umbrella, Nic from and I have crafted something slow, wholesome and just lovely.

Join us at The Cosy Club where we will gather, create, eat and chat fireside. You DO NOT have to be arty, or deep and whimsical, nor do you have to be a nature buff. You just have to be you. Bring a blanket to throw over your shoulders and come as you are.

Sunday 10th May
Buds, Brampton Grange
5.30-7pm
£35 includes all materials, food, drinks and wholesome vibes

You can secure your place by heading to www.bookwhen.com/buds. Spaces are very limited, just a lil mini circle over here 🤗

In the event of poor weather we will reschedule but for now, let’s just manifest more of these dreamy summer evenings 🌅

Two beautiful forest school sessions with a village nursery this morning. One for a baby group and one for age 2-3. What fun we had in the meadow, splashing in the stream, singing songs, playing pooh sticks and bug hunting. Sunshine and shadow play, making music, clay and painting.

Lucky us
🐞🐛🕷️🐌🪱

An ode to our amazing Planet Earth for the tots this morning 🌍✨🌞🐅🌊🌺🪸

We listened to the story, Dear Earth, by Isabel Otter. A beautiful book that discovers the wonders of the Earth through Grandpa’s stories of his travels and Tessa’s imagination.

My mum travelled the world in her teens and 20’s (a true 70’s hippie) and we’ve been lucky to listen to so many stories of her own over the years and so this struck a chord ☺️

Earth Day Outdoor Stay + Play 🌍🌬️🔥🌊

“Our Planet, Our Power”
An emphasis on both individual and collective action to drive environmental change.

When you choose an outdoor playgroup, you’re already part of the movement.

We’re showing children that the world is far greater than four walls. Teaching them to care, to notice, to respect, take responsibility, and build a lifelong relationship with the natural world.

A simple set up with Mother Earth in mind this week;

🌻 Sunflower seeds
🗞️ Printing over the headlines
🌍 Painting with movement; drip, swing, splat
🐸 Pond life
🐢 Watercolour endangered species
🔎 Tinker spot; an invitation to wonder at Mother Earth’s trinkets and treasures…

🌍 👀 💩 Spot the ‘Earth Edition’ wrapping paper in the barn!
