Booking FAQ’s:-

Please make sure you select the Child + Infant Ticket if you are bringing an infant under 12 months. There is no additional cost but I do need to know numbers to ensure safety for all.

To book more than one child over 12 months simply click ‘Select’ on Child Ticket, then + to add more than one child.

Today was my final Forest School session with EYFS at Earls Barton Primary School 🌳

This term we explored the theme of ‘habitats’, exploring birds nests, building bug hotels and hedgehog homes. For our final session I sprinkled a little forest magic and we designed and built fairy houses, crafted forest wands and made nature bracelets 🪹 🐞 ✨

Each child also made a special wood cookie necklace, safely using a palm drill and decorating it to reflect their time at Forest School 🪵

This week we read The Boy with Flowers in his Hair to promote kindness, inclusivity and friendship, such a gorgeous book 📕

A magical (soggy and humid!!) end to a beautiful term with such great little people. Enjoy your summer and good luck in Year One!

🦉 2025 School Starter Stay & Play Sessions🎒
NOW LIVE

🌷BOUGHTON PRIMARY SCHOOL:- EDIT Thurs 21st August
🌷BUCKTON FIELDS PRIMARY SCHOOL
🌷BRIXWORTH PRIMARY SCHOOL
🌷THE BRAMPTONS PRIMARY SCHOOL
🌷PITSFORD PRIMARY SCHOOL

These sessions offer a fun and informal opportunity for little ones to meet up with their new classmates before their first term begins.

Sessions are held at BUDS HQ, Brampton Grange.

🍄 For transparency, places are limited to ensure a calm play environment. Whilst I would love children to be able to spend time with all their new friends, I don’t want to compromise their play experience. I have initially listed one session per school but I appreciate schools with larger cohorts may require additional sessions adding. Please book your ticket, and if places are full make sure you register for the waiting list. This will allow me to gauge demand and add additional sessions if required.

Equally, if sessions aren’t popular (I’m aware some schools on the list only have a small intake, plus people may be on holiday or already have plans) I may have to cancel which I hope you understand.

I have absolutely no idea how popular these will be, so let’s see and I’ll amend as needed! Hopefully there’s interest; fun, free flow and zero pressure. A lovely opportunity for parents and carers to meet too! Feel free to share amongst friends!

‼️Please Note: Buds are not affiliated with any schools and school staff are not obliged to attend, advertise, plan or deliver Buds sessions. Buds School Starter Sessions are in no way linked to any existing transition events organised by schools.

A mouse took a stroll through the deep dark wood…

🐭 🦊 🐍 🦉

A gentle theme ran through this week’s Stay & Play sessions, children’s classic, The Gruffalo!

Coincidentally this tied in with Moulton Library - Health and Wellbeing Hub fab new window art 🎨

Scrambled snake, roasted fox and owl ice cream…all on the menu. Oh and the special…Gruffalo crumble 😋

Gruffalo Spotter sheet by was a hit. Some of us hunted for

🪾Spiky objects like the Gruffalo’s sharp pointy teeth
🍏 Green objects like his poisonous wart
🪻Purple objects like his purple prickles (Symphytum Asperum)

We also spotted so many minibeasts this week, the dragonflies were flitting about in full force, one very brave one landed on H’s hat!

🌳🌷 Buds Brampton HQ - the vibe and a quick update!

🍄 July 2025 I’ll be opening that little picket gate, ready to welcome you all for Stay and Play adventures

🎟️ Tickets for July Stay and Plays at Brampton will be available to purchase via Bookwhen very soon

👣 Once I’ve found my feet with the Stay and Plays, further sessions will be added such as Forest School Home Ed for primary age children

🦉 Ooh and I’m planning to offer School Starter Sessions over the summer to support transition too!

✨ I’m collecting resources like a magpie and picking up bits and bobs on a shoestring. Some orders have started rolling in and my father-in-law has been in his workshop conjuring all sorts of wizardry with wooden pallets

💪🏼 Lots to do but those who know me, know I work best with a deadline! I’ve been rubbish this week with it being half term, but next week back on it…

🚀 One month ‘till launch!

We had so much fun playing at Busby’s this week!🌷

🧺 What was in Nat’s basket…!? binoculars, a magnifying glass and a bug pot! Time to go on a bug hunt in the swishy swooshy grass in the meadow, we found some cool crawlies!
