Project Wild Thing

I wanted to introduce to a movement in the UK aimed at highlighting the gradual disconnection our children are having with nature. In fact this was one of the great driving forces for Helen Reeve and myself setting up Nurture Outdoor Kindergarten (in Worcestershire). Most of us will have seen Richard Louv's book, Last Child in the Woods.

Nurture Outdoor Kindergarten

Making mud pies in the mud kitchen, finding art supplies for an outdoor work of art, den making and baking afternoon snacks. At Nurture Outdoor Kindergarten you’ll find children between the ages of 2 to 5 years old donning waterproof dungarees, warm layers and a waterproof jacket venturing outside to experience play-based learning at its best – in the great outdoors.

Language Development in Children

Laying the foundations for speech - This is the second of two posts focusing on language development in babies and toddlers. Here we provide an overview of how you can actively encourage language development in babies and toddlers.  From baby sounds to structure and meaning, we have some top tips here for parents and nannies.

Exploring Water Play


Puddles, spray bottles, paddling pools and rain. These certainly bring back childhood memories for me, particularly wading in very large, muddy puddles! Even now, with the children in the car we search for the best puddles to drive through to create the biggest splash. Quite simply, water is fun!
