Thursday Forest School

Forest School for Home Educated Children and those that Flexi-School.

At Woodland Nurture we offer a safe space where children can learn to problem solve, take turns, negotiate, collaborate, resolve conflicts, regulate their emotions, be creative and use their imagination.

Our code is Care for Yourself; Care for Others; Care for the Environment.

Our child-initiated sessions focus on the whole child with the aim to build self-esteem; core strength and coordination; resilience; confidence and friendships through SPICES – social, physical, intellectual, creative, emotional and spiritual development.

Thursdays take part in our "Yellow Zone" which we think is a really magical space with some interesting trees, bushes and dips in the ground. The perfect space for playing hiding games, building dens, and exploring nature! There is a wonderful old oak tree that the children love to climb, plus 3 different swings. There will be plenty of trips to the ever popular "Bridge of Dooom" and the zip wire, as well as to the garden.

We also make occasional trips to our river area which the children call "Otter Island" - to go here they will need to have a change of clothes and footwear.

The children will require a snack, a packed lunch and plenty to drink. We find that having the snack in a separate container to the lunch prevents them from eating all their lunch at snack time!

Policies are on the website.

Attached is a clothing list - please send your children suitably equipped to every session.

Also attached are All about Me forms. Please complete one of these and return it/bring it to a session. These forms help us best meet the needs of your child. Thank you.

If you are new to Woodland Nurture, please get in touch before booking so we can arrange a chat and a visit. This way we can ensure that we can fully meet the needs of your child. Contact claire@woodlandnurture.co.uk 07866882425
