Lovely to be here at Staple Village Hall and Green for the famous Staple Country Fayre! 🦋🌸☀️
We are running the Lucky Dip nextdoor to Staple Wildlife Friendly Village who are offering an amazing nature trail for the kiddies 🪴🍃🌿
Come and say hi! 👋

This small orchard, just outside of the village hall, was planted just over two years ago by our wonderful children and it is thriving!
It will be here for many years to come and we hope it can be enjoyed (and perhaps added to!) by future Staple Preschoolers 🪴🧑‍🌾
Get in touch if you have a green fingered little one who would love spending their days exploring nature!

Here at Staple, we embrace outdoor learning at every opportunity!
Using our garden, woodland area and beautiful surroundings, we get to explore nature every single day! 🌳🌸🦆

Such a lovely autumnal craft 🍁🍂

And a great excuse to get out for a stroll to hunt for leaves and splash in puddles!

Show us your pumpkins! 🎃👻

Any delicious pumpkin recipes you love to whip up with your littles?! 🎃

As an Eco School the children spend lots of time learning all about the environment, the impact we have as humans, and things we can do to help the planet and wildlife!

Our lovely children have built hedgehog houses, made a bug hotel, planted an orchard and countless other activities to support our local ecosystem! 🌱🦔

Avoiding waste is really important and our little people are GREAT at taking things that we see as rubbish and making something AMAZING! 🥰

It's Halloween half term .... perfect time for some ghostly crafts to keep the children entertained.

Those bright, wonderful colours our kiddies love so much do a great job of keeping them SEEN! 👀
