🌿 Hi! I'm Leanda. 🌿
I'm our Forest School lead, and I'm Forest School trained as well as a Level 3 Early Years Practitioner. I absolutely love being outdoors, exploring nature, and helping children discover the world around them.
So, what is Forest School?
Forest School is a child-centred approach to learning that takes place outdoors in a natural environment. It encourages children to explore, investigate, take appropriate risks, solve problems, and develop confidence through hands-on experiences. Every session is led by the children's interests, allowing them to learn at their own pace while building resilience, independence, and a lifelong appreciation for nature.
At our setting, our Forest School sessions are full of exciting adventures. Children enjoy activities such as den building, bug hunting, nature crafts, mud play, storytelling, balancing, climbing, using simple tools (when appropriate), observing wildlife, and exploring the changing seasons. Every visit outdoors is an opportunity to learn, discover, and have fun.
I love seeing children's confidence grow as they challenge themselves, work together, and develop new skills in the great outdoors. There's nothing better than watching little explorers become curious, resilient, and excited about the natural world.
I can't wait to share our Forest School adventures with you!
