Following our amazingly successful pilot, we will be starting our Forest School sessions in partnership with Otterhead Forest School in September. These are fantastic sessions, working alongside children with social and emotional needs. We do a range of activities from fire building to nature trails and cooking lunch on an open fire. These are free weekly sessions, during school term time, which include a light lunch. If you know somebody with memory impairment who would be interested in joining an active group activity, with or without their carer, please contact us on 01823 668676 or email office@reminiscencelearning.co.uk

We loved Wacky Wednesday this week, it was an "All Around The World" theme at Cades Farm park! Don't miss out on next week's at Wellington Park! It'll be the last Wacky Wednesday session this summer 🌞☀️

It's fantastic to be in the paper again, thank you to the Wellington Weekly News. We are feeling very proud! So pleased to have ongoing support from the Wellington Town Council.

Listen out for Emma chatting to Darren from Tone FM on tomorrow's breakfast show!

Lovely photo and write up in this week's County Gazette! We are so proud that the Lord Lieutenant of Somerset, Annie Maw has offered to become an ambassador for us! We couldn't be more pleased.
