About
Hi, my name is Michelle and I provide a woodland playgroup for 0-7 year olds and Forest School for older children during school holidays. I have Early Years Teacher Status, BA Hons degree in Early Childhood and Level 3 Forest School Leader. I also have a clear police check and relevant insurance.
I have worked with children 0-5 years old since 2000 in a variety of roles including, nursery practitioner, children's centre playworker, and manager of the 2 year old provision at Bentley High St. Primary School.
I run regular sessions for families, nurseries and schools to access a woodland environment using fun and exciting activities at Squirrel Wood Scout Camp, DN6 9FE.
Nature is good for us. When children access outdoor play on a regular basis it allows for healthier, happier children. Children become more confident, creative and greater problem-solvers when accessing the natural world.
Through the use of the outdoor environment and our natural surroundings, I provide fun family sessions based around themes such as stories, bug hunting or den building.
I also provide private parties which can be based around any theme you like.
Sessions are available to view on the website
