Halloween-Themed Mindfulness with Miss Molly

Miss Molly led a gentle mindfulness session, introducing calming exercises to celebrate Halloween in a soothing and fun way.

Our partnership with Little Village

As an early years education and childcare institution, we put great value on helping children in need.

This is why we partnered with Little Village, an organization that helps babies and young children living in poverty all across London.

Halloween Party Highlights!

Our Halloween party was a hit! Children and parents had a blast celebrating in costume with fun-filled activities.

We had creative little hands crafted their very own “monsters” with colorful playdough.

Besides, from friendly ghosts to tiny ghouls, our children decorated Halloween characters with bright colors and imaginative designs.

For sensory activities, children enjoyed pumpkin-themed sensory trays and even helped make some tasty pumpkin soup!

Ghost foam sensory tray was also full of surprises. Our favorite!

Each child got a unique Halloween face painting to complete their costume. We also enjoyed lots of tasty treats together, making the Halloween party extra special.

Thank you for making this Halloween celebration so memorable! We’re excited for more activities and adventures next week.

Have a lovely weekend, and we’ll see you soon!
