Happy half term everyone!

Excitement again today as we welcome more new life into the Quad gardens, with our baby ducklings finally hatching. Congratulations to Daffy and Doris on their new arrivals🦆

And an update on the chicks - Henney continues to be a fantastic mumma. Her babies are growing up so fast and learning how to be independent, exploring the garden and giving themselves dirt baths!

This , get moving more for your mental health by finding moments for movement every day.

When life’s busy, it can be tricky finding time for wellbeing-boosting activities. But finding moments for movement might be easier than you think. Why not use the time you spend waiting to move more? When you’re waiting for the kettle to boil; for your kids to come out of school; or for a bus to arrive. These moments will add up!
