Super-duper handy woman Nanny Deb is always whipping up epic ways to inspire, excite and challenge the learning of the children at Active Explorers Highbrook.

There’s no denying the delight that bubbles can bring for children and adults alike! As an adult it comes naturally to us to be able to blow bubbles, but have you ever thought about the different skills it takes?
