Why Choose Nature for your child? Whatever the reason children come to the woods to access our programmes, we aim to incorporate the forest school ethos into all our activities and sessions, offering a learner-centred approach wherever possible. In line with forest school objectives, we strive to use their Badger Forest School experience to help children overcome their previous experiences and become positive and pro-active learners.  As an organisation with trauma-informed status, our Nurture Programme is specifically designed to support emotional wellbeing as we believe this best supports a child’s development and aids their return to a school setting on a full-time basis. Children are assisted to understand their emotions, their triggers and their behaviours, so that they can learn self-regulation and management techniques. They build trusted relationships with staff which enables therapeutic conversations to happen. The outdoors environment and associated skills building offers children the opportunity to succeed which helps develop confidence, self-esteem and identity. All-weather outdoor learning generates motivation and resilience, as well as helps relieve passivity, stress and anxiety.  In terms of academic learning, sessions deliver a wide range of activities designed to develop the child’s concentration, practical skills, fine and gross motor development, problem solving, language and communication skills, and expand their understanding of the natural world. Activities might include:  Shelter building Fire lighting and cooking on an open fire Tool use Studying wildlife Rope and string work Art and sculpture work Sensory activities Developing and discussing stories Creating and completing obstacle courses Activities frequently incorporate opportunities for working on literacy or numeracy skills, and additionally, we can work towards including some elements of the National Curriculum if this is a priority for the client, as many of our staff are teacher trained or have experience working in schools.
