Connection is the root of all growth.

Our Story

Claire Hughes at Woodland Nurture

From the very beginning, Laura Owen - also a Forest School

Leader - has been by Claire’s side. Since then, our team has flourished and now includes 11 dedicated staff members.

​​

Claire founded Woodland Nurture following her Forest School Leadership training when she set out to create a place where children could explore, learn, and grow through meaningful connections with nature.

Together, we bring a rich variety of skills and experiences, united by a shared belief that life is better when we spend time in nature. Our passion lies in passing on that connection to the children in our community, nurturing curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love for the outdoors.
