Forest School Nurture

Forest School Nurture Groups support those children that are experiencing anxiety, disruptive classroom behaviour, challenges at home or a lack of stability in their lives.

These are a series of session for small groups of children (maximum of ten) who need extra support with their confidence, resilience and self-esteem. Engaging with the natural environment helps to build the ‘soft skills’ that support social and emotional development.

Research shows that children who engage with the natural environment are more able to focus once back in the classroom. The ethos of Forest School allows children the space to make their own decisions and learn that they can make choices and influence their own outcomes. It gives them the scope to realise their own interests and the opportunity to explore them.

These sessions can also be offered on a one to one basis.
