Description

An urban forest school for toddlers and preschool children which offers a unique, nature-based learning experience, blending outdoor exploration with educational activities in an urban setting. As a qualified primary school teacher, early years practitioner, and Forest School leader, I am passionate about fostering a connection between young children and the natural world. This program focuses on experiential learning, where children engage in a wide range of activities like building, sensory play, and observing wildlife, all designed to spark their curiosity, creativity, and love for the environment.

Through spending time in natural spaces, children develop crucial life skills such as problem-solving, teamwork, and resilience, while also enhancing their physical, cognitive, and emotional development. Forest school offers a safe, child-led learning environment where children can explore at their own pace, building confidence and independence. They gain a deep sense of environmental awareness and responsibility as they interact with the world around them.

With a strong foundation in early childhood education and Forest School principles, I guide children through hands-on learning experiences that nurture their individual growth while encouraging collaborative play and social skills. This holistic approach helps children thrive in a supportive, dynamic, and nature-rich environment, providing them with the tools they need to succeed.

Children and parents need suitable clothing for outdoor activities whatever the weather. Children will need waterproof trousers or all in one suits with layers underneath to keep warm. Footwear should be wellies or waterproof walking type boots.
