Mini Explorers Nursery

Hello little spiky friend it was lovely to meet you and all our Mini Explorers kept very quiet whilst you had a little snuffle around,we popped you back once Grandad Bobby had finished cutting the grass and it was nice and safe. #farmschool #spikyfriend #lookafterournaturalworld ūü¶Ēūü¶Ē ūüźĆūüźĆūüźĆ

Our Mini Explorers have been enjoying the sunshine and crop walks and a little bit of Simon Says down the tram lines! Perfect

What noise does a Gruffalo make?! Nothing makes a story come alive like acting out the characters and its great for our literacy skills, even the sheep found it very exciting!

We do love our puddle jumping on the farm! ūüí¶ūüí¶ūüí¶

Welcome to our newest member of our Mini Explorers family,we now have just 3 Herdwick mummy's left to lamb but this little lamb is really enjoying making new friends. #farmschool #loveourlambs #everydayisdifferent #lovelambing ūüźĎūüźĎūüėć

In a week of quite changeable weather we have had a million fantastic adventures,crop walks and educational activities on the farm. Our Mini Explorers are never concerned by what the weather might do, as Alfred Wainwright once said "There is no such thing as bad weather only unsuitable clothing!" ūüƶūüĆąūüĆß‚õÖÔłŹūüĆßūüĆßūüƶ‚ėÄÔłŹūüĆ•ū üí¶ūüí¶ #farmschool #resilienceisimportant #dontlettheweatherstopyouwearebritish

We are very excited to welcome our long awaited chicks,we have had three hatch out so far and our Mini Explorers are still keeping an eye on the unhatched eggs. #farmschool #engageinthewonder #natureisamazing ūü•öūü•öūüź£ūüź£ūüź£ūüź•

Nothing as lovely as feeding pet lambs at the end of a very busy day with the sun streaming through the shed. #farmschool #specialmemories #mixingmilkissecretmaths #onlyoneyorkshire #farmingiseducation ūüöúūüćľūüźĎūüźĎ‚ėÄÔłŹūüôā

Super worm is super long. Super worm is also very good at teaching all areas of the EYFS as every child loves to describe a worm ,guess how long it is and then watch as it finds its worm hole!

Our Mini Explorers love collecting eggs and often enjoy taking home their discovered treasure . Nothing like eating an egg you found yourself. #farmschool #treasureyoucaneat #chickensareamazing #miniexplorerslowfoodmiles ūü•öūü•öūü•öūü•öūü•ö

There is nothing our calves like better than a lovely stroke after their morning milk.Our Farm School children have really enjoyed helping the calves settle in and have been very impressed with their ability to lick all the way up their own nose! #farmschool #calveslovecuddles #knowledgeandunderstandingtheworld #nurtureandlove ūüėćūüźāūüźā

Encouraging our Mini Explorers to believe they are capable of helping on the farm is an important part of their development and builds their confidence, after making the milk its a fantastic feeling to feed some of those hungry tummies all on your own! #farmschool #mathsineverything #gettingthejobdone #loveingourlambs #farmermarkshelpers ūüćľūüćľ

What an inspirational chap David Attenborough is and I'm very glad that this man is having such an impact. Mini Explorers feels we must do as much as we can,we are moving away from all plastic and packaging and we will now enjoy one "Green Day" each week where we will use as little electricity as possible. Fire pits,home cooked snacks on the camp fire and a hot chocolate after tea whats not to love! The activities on the "Green Days" will be filled with some very different activities perfect for our little eco warriors. #protectourfuture #loveournaturalworld #itsnottoolate #bethechangeyouwanttoseeintheworld
