🍂 Autumnal Playdough 🍂

The developmental benefits of playing with playdough are amazing! These include; fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, creativity & imagination, language development, sensory development and so much more!

I love making playdough, it is so quick and easy to make and something that can be done with little ones too. The recipe is so versatile, you can add any colour or scent that you think they might like.

Base recipe:
1 Cup Flour
1/2 Cup Salt
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 tbsp oil
1 Cup boiling water

I then added:
1 tsp mixed spices
1tbsp cocoa powder

Mix it all together and knead until combined. If the mixture is too wet, add more flour or if it is too stiff add a touch more water.

Let me know if you give the recipe a try 💚

The Nature Nook hosted a Peppa Pig Party today for a lovely little one turning 2! It was amazing to see all the children of varying ages get stuck in and explore the different activities!
If you would like to find out more about having your little one's birthday at the Nature Nook just drop me a message. It runs as a normal session but you choose the day, time and guest list! I also tailor the activities to your little ones interests. I can't wait to hear from you! 💚

Thank you so much for such a wonderful first week back after the summer holidays!

If I’m honest, I was a little worried about how things were going to be after such a busy summer, but you have all been amazing! It has been so lovely to see so many familiar faces returning regularly, as well as meeting lots of new faces too.

Next week, The Nature Nook will have been open for 6 months — which honestly blows my mind! I can’t believe how quickly the time has gone.

There are even a few of you who have been coming along right from the very beginning, which is just incredible.

So, thank you. Thank you for your continued support, for bringing your little ones along, and for keeping me so busy! It genuinely means the world to me and I’m so grateful for every single one of you 💚

To celebrate 6 months of The Nature Nook, I’m giving you 20% off your next booking!

🎃 Halloween at the Nature Nook! 🎃

All the usual fun but with a halloween twist!

Available to book now!!

I will be running 2 x Halloween Special sessions:

Friday 30th October
Saturday 31st October

On both days you will be able to choose between:
9:45am - 10:45am
9:45am - 11:15am
11:15am - 12:15pm

The sessions will run like the usual ones in Autumn/ Winter, starting in the usual space then walking over the bridge to make a fire and toast marshmallows.

Not sure whether your little one will enjoy being around the fire? No problem at all! There will be plenty of other activities to explore nearby, so everyone can enjoy the session in their own way 💚.

Like the summer sessions, siblings are more than welcome and sibling tickets are available to book.

So get ready to wrap up warm, pop on your wellies and come and join me for some spooky woodland fun!

Thank you for an amazing summer!

I honestly can’t believe we’re coming to the end of the summer holidays, I don’t know about you, but it has absolutely whizzed by!

It’s certainly been a hot one & I wasn’t quite sure how it was going to go! Thankfully all the shade from the trees has made the Nature Nook a lovely, cool place for little ones to run around, explore and enjoy the outdoors 💚.

Thank you all so much for keeping me busy this summer. I have loved seeing so many people returning as well as all the lovely new faces! It has been amazing to feel so supported, and such a privilege that you’ve chosen to spend some of your summer at the Nature Nook.

I hope you’ve all had a wonderful summer! And if your little one is starting or returning to school/ preschool/ nursery I hope you all have the very best start to the new term.

I hope to see lots of you again soon! 💚

I’ve received so many lovely messages from families who have attended a session, and I always love hearing what you and your little ones think about The Nature Nook!

I’d be so grateful if you could take a moment to leave a review ⭐️

It would mean so much to my small business and would help other families discover The Nature Nook too!

I’m also always open to suggestions! If there’s something you’d love to see at a session, or something your little one particularly loves, please just drop me a message.

Thank you so much for supporting me and for being part of the adventure. It really does mean the world! 💚

I know we are still very much in Summer but I am looking ahead to the colder months in Autumn & Winter and I am so excited that I will be introducing a fire pit!

The first fire pit session will be on Wednesday 7th October — and to celebrate the launch, this session will be HALF PRICE! 🎉

This first session will be a little bit of a trial, giving me a chance to see how the session works with a fire at the end, make sure everything runs smoothly, and work out what works best for our little adventurers and their grown-ups.

✨ There will be limited spaces available, so don’t miss out! ✨

If you want to know when tickets are released, sign up to receive emails on the website and/or turn on notifications so you don’t miss the ticket release!

I can’t wait for cosy outdoor sessions, warming up around the fire, toasting marshmallows and enjoying the changing seasons together 🍁
