Our Outdoor Journey

I lived in Denmark with my husband and our three children, where we relished the outdoor lifestyle and the Danish philosophy of learning through play. Upon our return to the UK, I started working at a pupil referral unit, providing one-on-one support to children who, for various reasons, were unable to attend school. Our days were spent entirely outdoors, kindling fires, cooking and exploring the woods. 

Later, I took on a role as a groom at Riding for the Disabled. We've been the proud owners of a woodland area for three years now, and we've been slowly yet thoughtfully clearing and replanting it to create the enchanting space that we believe it is today. We share this space with our assortment of animals, which includes horses, ponies, donkeys, tortoises, and chickens.  I am a qualified level 3 Forest School leader, DBS checked with first aid & safeguarding training.  

I strongly advocate for the benefits that spending quality time outdoors can offer children. It's not just about letting them play and learn, but also about giving them the freedom to acquire new skills and learn in a natural, playful environment.
