Blooms - Early Years Nature-Based Sessions
Blooms offers nature based, play filled Early Years sessions designed to honour children as capable, curious and deeply connected to their environment.
Inspired by Reggio Emilia and guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), learning emerges through play, exploration and relationships. Children are supported to follow their interests, engage with open ended materials and build understanding in ways that feel meaningful to them.
Sessions are held in calm outdoor spaces where nature acts as a teacher, inviting curiosity, wonder and connection.
What to Expect
Petal and Play Blooms sessions run for 1.5 hours, from 9:30 am to 11:00 am, across a 6-week term.
Term 1, 2026 begins on 13 February 2026.
Our sessions are thoughtfully designed for little explorers aged 2 to 5 years. Of course, you know your child best. Children of all ages are welcome. Blooms sessions are particularly supportive for children who benefit from gentle routines, unhurried play, and opportunities to build confidence, independence, and a love of learning.
Each session begins with a warm, gentle welcome, where children are invited to mark-make their name or anything they choose. From there, the environment opens into a rich blend of nature, creativity and hands-on exploration, thoughtfully designed to support early literacy, numeracy, science, fine motor skills and social development, all through play, connection and curiosity.
Children move freely between experiences, choosing where to engage and how long to stay. There is no pressure to participate in any one activity, and children are welcome to observe, return, or explore in their own time.
Families are welcomed as partners in learning and remain present throughout the session to offer reassurance, connection and support. This shared experience allows families to witness learning in action, strengthen relationships, and build confidence alongside their child.
