KatieB KidsAs part of our ongoing Animal World project, the children explored tiger stripes and discovered that patterns aren’t just decorative- they’re clever camouflage! Through observation, discussion and creative mark-making, the children learned how an animal’s pattern helps it to hide in its environment.

Our preschoolers have been busy bringing the Christmas story to life 🎄✨
After being inspired by the beautiful knitted nativity in our reception area, the children decided to create their own version- using cardboard, tissue paper, imagination and a whole lot of teamwork.
We love seeing their ideas take shape in such creative ways!

Our little artists are getting ready for next week’s Winter Lights Celebration! This beautiful Christmas tree drawing is just one of the many creative designs the children have chosen for their paper lanterns. We love seeing their imagination shine through as they prepare to light up the season with colour, warmth, and wonder. 🌟

“Children are not things to be moulded, but people to be unfolded.” — Jess Lair 🌼

At KatieB Kids, our garden is a place where imagination takes the lead- and large-scale loose parts open the door to creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking. Whether it’s a fort, a pirate ship, or a dinosaur den, children are empowered to construct, explore, and transform their environment in meaningful ways.

"A swirly-whirly for my mummy." 💫🖍️
At KatieB Kids, every mark tells a story and every story matters.
This beautiful swirl wasn’t planned by an adult. It came from the heart of a child, for someone they love. And that’s magic!
