Our lovely canal
Yet again this beautiful location, situated right on our nursery’s doorstep, provided adventure and amazingness. Our little Possums loved to feed the ducks, say hello (and pose!) with the Gruffalo, munch some snack, look at the boats and dogs and people and take in everything else they could see around them as they strolled and …
Our Jolly Secret Mission
We love a secret mission and whilst outside Free-Flow have been excellent explorers and they’ve been on a few!! This Jolly team had to find the hidden ladybirds, save the princesses, do a hoola and they even had to race to the aeroplane… Oh….and then they had to spot the giant giraffe inside too. It …
You are my sunshine
Inspired by the glorious weather that we’d been having at the time (and also linked to her children’s current fascination with all things space themed!) Laura set up a creative learning opportunity whereby her children could develop their fine motor skills to create their very own sunshine masterpiece. This activity was messy, but yet not …

A Jolly Little Band
With a shake, rattle and roll beautiful music was made outside as Fiona and her little Possums explored all the instruments together xxxx
Big rings, small rings
we ALL rings! Fascinating to watch this little one so very focused on getting as many rings hooked on the tree as possible. Great for their hand/eye coordination as they carefully placed them on, but also great for developing their core strength and balance as they naturally reached and stretched to grab more rings to …
Fox’s Socks
We can’t wait to add this weekend’s fabulous find into our ‘Fox’s Socks’ story bag… previously we’ve posted when we’ve found some fabulous fox coasters and a wooden fox to accompany the array of socks and story book within this bag… but now our little ones can have fun popping the different socks on their …
Getting Stuck In!!!
Fiona was busy sat updating her children’s memories books when one little one came up to her, sat on her lap, started looking at all her photographs, before picking up the glue stick and, after some careful modelling and demonstration by Fiona, she was soon busy sticking them into her book… Our older children love …
