Our Adventures

We like to use nature and the world around us as our main inspiration, we love beach combing and playing in the woods. We now have our very own Beautiful forest garden at our new Playschool and encourage the children to enjoy the outside, every day, whatever the weather.

We began weekly visits to our local Nursing Home in 2017. This project has brought everyone involved much joy, the residents very much look forward to our visits and the children learn so much from their friendships with them too.

We host a Messy Playgroup every week at the community centre. These sessions are open to all and it is a lovely way to meet us if you are curious about who we are and what we offer.

Every Thursday we enjoy yoga together in our big hall. The sessions are led by our Yoga and Mindfulness teacher, Miss Sparkles. We use these sessions to celebrate festivals, news and interests from around the world. This always includes relaxation at the end and a quiet moment to listen to our blessing song and send peace and love to the world.

At Hippy Kids we love process art and sensory play. We make playdough and dens. We do cooking and baking activities regularly and gardening too. We often have projects ongoing based on the children’s interests in the natural world.

We encourage learning and development in fun ways. We focus on fine motor skills by providing a range of art materials and loose parts for the children to explore. We learn to share and take turns and be kind to our friends. We play games and we tell stories, dance and sing. We make the effort to prepare pre-schoolers for the next stage by teaching literacy, maths, social skills and independence in a holistic and organic way.

The biggest adventure we have at Hippy Kids is enjoying each other’s company and observing our children grow to be confident, happy and kind people. We truly believe in our ‘home from home’ environment and allowing the children to learn from each other like a big family.
