About the employer

At our Forest School kindergarten and nursery settings children are inspired in a natural environment through positive experiences. They learn without realising. We encourage them to take risks and explore which helps them build confidence and self-esteem. Our Forest School kindergarten and nursery are a wonderful outdoor alternative to traditional indoor nurseries and pre-schools. Both settings are secure natural spaces where children can develop their imagination, take risks and build on social skills. With the support of Early Years and Forest School practitioners children learn in a natural environment and they have the freedom and space to be themselves – to run and hide, climb and build dens, tell stories and cook on the campfire. Every day is different as our outdoor settings change from season to season creating new learning opportunities.
