🌿✨ Why Risky Play Matters at Our Farm & Forest School ✨🌿

At our farm and forest school, we embrace the wild, the muddy, and the wonderfully unpredictable — because that’s where real learning happens.

Risky play isn’t about danger — it’s about discovery. Climbing trees, balancing on logs, using real tools, and exploring uneven terrain help children:

🧠 Build resilience and problem-solving skills 💪 Develop strength, coordination, and confidence 🌱 Learn to assess risk and make safe choices 💬 Foster teamwork and communication 💚 Connect deeply with nature and their own capabilities

We believe children thrive when they’re trusted to explore, stretch their limits, and experience the joy of real-world learning. Risky play is not reckless — it’s essential.

Let’s raise brave, capable, curious kids — one muddy boot at a time! 🥾🌳🐑
