OUR APPROACH
We blend Forest School, Steiner, and Montessori elements to create a unique, safe, and inspiring environment for outdoor play, where learners feel encouraged and supported.
Children co-design learning experiences around their interests, with new themes each term stimulating curiosity and discovery. Our unhurried projects allow for deep and meaningful learning, driving curiosity, creativity, and play in flexible, mixed-age groups.
We empower children, nurture their self-esteem and perseverance, and encourage the exploration of their passions. Our approach fosters autonomy, kindness, and collaboration at all ages.

OUTCOMES
We want our children to enjoy a childhood filled with joy, wonder, inspiration, and awe. Our goal is to help them grow into self-motivated, independent, confident, resilient, and creative life-long learners, healthy in mind, body, and spirit.
We focus on developing all they need to lead lives full of joy - nurturing their sense of belonging and their ability to make valued contributions to their community.
We aim to help prepare them for the future with skills in problem-solving, curiosity, creativity, collaboration, resilience, and kindness.
Literacy and numeracy are seamlessly integrated into our activities, games, and routines, making learning relevant and enjoyable without separating these skills as dedicated outcomes.
