Hello

I love the outdoors where children’s natural intelligence is developed, and natural curiosity encouraged.  Children are happier and healthier when they have regular opportunities to learn and play outdoors, building the foundations for a lifelong connection with nature and our planet.   

 

I am a qualified teacher (PGCE) with over ten years teaching and leadership experience. Since 2020 I also qualified as a Level 3 Forest School Leader.   I am fortunate to lead weekly preschool Forest School sessions at Wilderness Wood with Little Forest School  in East Sussex and monthly Home Education groups. 

​

I am passionate that children and young people deserve and benefit from extended periods of play during every school day and I also lead weekly Forest School sessions with 3 Primary Schools in East Sussex  helping children of all ages to develop, follow their instincts and naturally play independently and together with their friends outdoors.
