MUDDY BOOTS Children's Outdoor Nature Group every Monday and Friday 10-11.30am at Devonshire Road Nature Reserve. Drop in sessions, meaning no need to book ahead.


With all this warm weather we are seeing lots more butterflies and moths at the Reserve. Brimstones, scarlet 5 spot burnet moths, Red Admirals..This Friday we'll be learning about caterpillars and butterflies and thinking about this amazing transformation. We'll be using seeds and sticks from to make caterpillar to take home and then we'll be spotting butterflies in the garden and on the walk through the meadows.


Other nature transformations - our tadpoles are also nearly fully transformed into tiny toadlets. Come and see these perfectly formed but minute toads!


As always at Muddy Boots there's digging, watering and mud painting on offer too. Then we'll have a walk in the woods (distance to suit your child) and head back to the Meadow Basecamp for snacks and drinks, songs, stories or poems.

Muddy Boots is hands on, engaging, fun and all outside in the fresh air of our lovely Nature Reserve.

Sessions run every Monday and Friday 10-11.30. They are drop in sessions, so no need to book ahead, just turn up on the day.

    • James collected a couple of beds for me today and would be really happy to use home again. Great communications and very prompt. Would recommend. Thanks James. 
    • Perhaps Jezzer would like to tell us where in the Tory 2019 manifesto it gives a detailed breakdown as to how the tax burden would increase under them to an all-time record high by the end of their term. Here's a clue, it didn't.  This idea that Labour should've detailed everything to the nth degree beforehand whereas previous Govs of all hues haven't, is typical of this politically biased  confected outrage. Labout based their manifesto on the figures freely available to them at the time (from memory an OBR report published around March time). Once in power they then asked the OBR to revisit the figures and, surprise surprise, they found a 'hidden' £9 Billion that needed to be added to the existing 'black hole' deficit.   The bottom line in simple terms is the Tories maxed out UK Plc's credit card and went well over the spending limit (Jezzer, you reckon Labour will make the country bankrupt and it will be on its knees? Keep up, the Tories have already done that).  Some of the 'overspend' was undoubtedly due to external factors e.g. Covid and Ukraine, but some was self-inflicted e.g. Brexit, which I read somewhere trumps both in terms of long-term economic damage. Then there's issues like the unfunded tax cuts of Truss' lamentable budget, which among other things caused a spike in interest rates = bad for consumers and business. Where's the outage at that from the likes of Jezzer?  Although I don't agree with everything Labour has done, this idea that their budget is an economic disaster despite there being no run on the stock markets or £, that the Bank of England hasn't been forced to make a fiscal intervention in order to stop pension funds going belly-up, or there's been a spike in interest rates leading to millions of borrowers having to pay more for their mortgages. business loans etc, all of which happened under a Tory Gov and is still affecting people to this day, is laughable. Carry on wearing your Tory blinkers Jezzer while the rest of us cough-up for their economic delinquency...
