Home Education
and Flexi-schooling
At Woodland Nurture we offer a safe space where children can learn to problem solve, take turns, negotiate, collaborate, resolve conflicts, regulate their emotions, be creative and use their imagination.
Care for Yourself.
Care for Others.
Care for the
Environment.
Our child-initiated sessions focus on the whole child with the aim to build self-esteem; core strength and coordination; resilience; confidence and friendships through SPICES – social, physical, intellectual, creative, emotional and spiritual development.
We have exceedingly good adult to child ratios. We never exceed a ratio of 1:8 and are normally more like 1:3. Our sessions have up to 25 children in them with at least 5, normally 6 or 7 highly skilled and very caring staff members. This means we are well equipped to meet the children’s needs and can have a wide range of different activities taking place within each session.
We offer three 5 hour sessions each term time week, on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 10am-3pm. We also offer a half day session on a Wednesday afternoon from 12.30pm-3pm.
The children require a packed lunch, a snack and plenty to drink. We find it is best if the snack is in a separate container to the lunch so that they do not eat all of their lunch at snack time.
Please find some of our policies here. Others are available on request.
Booking is half termly through our Pembee app, with prices set so that it is better value to block book for a half term. Ad hoc sessions are available at a slightly higher cost. If you are new to Woodland Nurture, please get in touch before booking so that we can arrange a visit. This way we can ensure that we can fully meet the needs of your child.
Please make sure your children come suitably dressed to all sessions. At certain times of year, there may be biting insects in the woods, including ticks. We would advise you to supply your child with insect repellant or apply it for them before the start of the session. For more information about how to avoid, identify or manage tick bites, please refer to this leaflet by Public Health England.
If you are one of our regular families, please ensure all details such as dietary requirements, photo consent and contact details are up to date on your Pembee account.
