About this company

Our Nursery is set within beautiful private grounds on the edge of Wylam, Northumberland. Our days follow the flow of the children alongside the stimulus of the ever changing environment. We allow the children freedom to explore, play and be themselves, whilst being at one with nature. We have a permanent camp on the site, with many areas including a fire circle, mud kitchen and yurt where we support children in their play/learning and enable them to be as creative as their imaginations allow. Origins: The development of Forest School in the U.K. happened due to on going movement of Forest School in Europe, particularly in Scandinavia where an outside pre-school culture of ‘frulitsliv’ had become embedded. A group of nursery nurses visited Denmark and soon established their own version of Forest School back in Somerset. Three years later the college where they were working began offering a qualification in Forest School which was soon operating throughout England and Wales with the support of the Forestry Commission.
