Nurture Groups & 1:1 Sessions
The Scandinavian concept of forest school learning has proven particularly effective for 1:1 and small groups of children who have social & emotional difficulties and may struggle in a school environment and therefore need additional support to improve their academic attainment.
With an aim to replace missed early experiences, bespoke weekly sessions are designed to help improve socialisation, language & communication, confidence and self-respect.
The calming and sensory nature of learning in a woodland environment provides free time and space to help children explore, negotiate, and manage their own risks.
This helps create a sense of calm and promotes conversation and curiosity.
The opportunities to be able to ‘keep trying’ develop vital skills and improves mental health, well-being and physical development, helping children engage and do well in their classroom environment with a focus to build relationships between their peers, teachers and other adults, and to cope more confidently with the world around them.
Activities such as bug hunting, den building, zip wiring, tree identification, fire and tool skills, understanding seasonal changes and flora and fauna are session planned over a series of weeks bespoke to the individual child or group’s requirements (we recommend a minimum of 2 terms)
A visit to our on-site farm to interact and get hands-on with our pigs, goats, chickens and ducks also provides a much-loved understanding and knowledge of animals and animal welfare.
