Giggles and Wiggles opened in Stone back in September 2004. We are a hidden gem at the top of Mount Industrial Estate with fabulous outdoor play areas and a purpose built pre-school unit. We have our own large car park to make drop off and pick up times easier.
Babies are nurtured in a homely environment whilst the older children can let their imagination run wild: playing on the pirate ship or exploring the wildlife corridor – complete with a tipi, tree house, and bug hotel!
Rather than being constrained by the classroom, we believe that the natural world stimulates the children’s desire to learn and discover. Children who partake in the forest schools sessions are given the opportunity to learn about the natural environment, how to handle risks and to use their own initiative to solve problems and cooperate with others.
We have three forest school trained staff within the setting. Forest schooling enables us to take the children outside to follow their usual curriculum but in an outdoor context.
Activities are vast and varied – here are some examples of the kind of things we do:
I’m sure many of you have fond memories of doing these activities yourselves as children – we are excited about being able to teach the curriculum and extend the children’s learning in such a fun and inspiring way.
