Family Woods Walks
We firmly believe in the benefits to the Bright Little Buttons of exploring the great outdoors, whatever the weather, throughout the year. Regretfully our early outings to the woods became unsustainable as our numbers of Bright Little Buttons expanded. As there was only one bus back from the woods an hour, on our last nursery outing it was a close call as to whether we would all fit on board!
Our parents’ committee, the Bright Big Buttons, were as sad as us to remove this wonderful experience from the Bright Little Buttons and thus our family woods walks began.
The family woods walks are open to all current and former Bright Little Buttons and are held every six weeks, in line with equinox and cross-quarter days to enable the children to get a sense of the changing seasons.
To this end, we attend the same area of woodland and observe changes in the environment as we walk to an open space where the children are free to range, explore, climb and balance in the woodland together…
…or join in a seasonal nature-based craft or physical activity before having a hot chocolate and brioche, and then heading home feeling invigorated and happy.
What our families are saying
Come Visit Us
The best way to see what it is like at Bright Little Buttons is to come and take a look yourself.
Visits last approximately one hour, during which time we will show you around our nursery and explain our Montessori approach.
Due to restrictions on allowing people into the nursery at this time, we can currently only offer appointments for show rounds after our nursery children have gone home. As a result our appointments are scheduled for 3:45pm on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, and for 12:15pm on Wednesdays.
