Longer, warmer days change more than just the weather. Each change of season, children have to adapt.

Have you noticed your children feeling a little more emotional, energetic, dysregulated, or maybe struggling with sleep? You’re not imagining it.

As the world tilts on its axis, days get longer and warmer, our bodies adjust — and children often feel these shifts deeply. More daylight can affect melatonin (sleep hormones), later evenings can disrupt routines, and all the extra stimulation, heat, excitement, and schedule changes can make emotions feel bigger.

And honestly? Us adults feel it too. We may feel more tired, overstimulated, restless, or “off” without always connecting it to the season.

This is your gentle reminder: regulation can wobble during change of season. More patience, earlier wind-downs, extra snacks, hydration, quiet moments, and lowered expectations can go a long way.

Children aren’t giving us a hard time — often, they’re having a hard time adjusting.

Summer shifts us all. ☀️💛

Little Bumbles is a beautiful introduction to Forest Schooling and provides opportunities for play on a big scale in a natural, wild environment. It is ideal for children who are active and inquisitive or who find indoor groups over stimulating because of noise or sensitivities. Outdoors we have lots of space to choose how to interact with others in a social setting.

The idea of forest school, is that it provides connection to nature in a playful, child centred way. Using age appropriate tools and your infants natural curiosity, it builds confidence and gentle resilience within their window of tolerance.

We are completely child led, attachment focussed and participants usually tell us they leave feeling refreshed and regulated after a busy week, ready for the weekend!

Looking for a nursery/early years setting with a Forest School local to Sleaford and care about the quality and content of your child’s early outdoor experiences when they’re away from you?

Busy Bees in Leasingham could be for you.

More and more nurseries are now offering forest school sessions as parents look for enriching outdoor experiences for their children 🌿

Forest school helps children build confidence, independence, creativity, and physical skills through nature-based activities like den building, bug hunts, mud play, and outdoor exploration.

While many nurseries offer occasional sessions, Busy Bees goes even further by offering whole days at forest school. This gives children more time to fully explore, learn, and connect with nature in a meaningful way.

It’s fantastic to see outdoor learning becoming such an important part of early years education helping children grow, thrive, and develop a lifelong love of the natural world.
