TheRainbow Forest School enables the learners to expand their emotional space, open up and listen to their inner voice by connecting with nature.
Supporting children to develop self-esteem, independence and confidence through outdoor child lead play. I take a holistic approach to learning and development, offering a mixture of mindfulness, learning skills, problem solving and creativity. I foster a deep connection and love of nature, through play and observations of the seasons in the woodland. Guiding and reassuring, the children to explore and discover things for themselves.
The sessions are child-led and created to meet the needs of each of the children, so they can grow holistically, developing their physical, emotional, cognitive and social skills.

What we will offer your child:
Sessions are planned around the individual’s and group’s needs, and built upon each week. The earlier sessions will concentrate on safety; establishing boundaries and routines and allowing time for the children to become comfortable and confident in our setting. As the children develop in confidence and familiarity with the environment the sessions focus on developing and reinforcing skills, promoting nature connection and developing relationships within the group.
We will regularly share your child’s experiences with you and always love to hear what they say about the sessions.
