Nature-based Learning

Our nature-based learning curriculum allows children to explore the natural world, fostering a deep connection with the environment and animals with regular farm sessions at the Big Sheep.

Creative Arts

Through creative arts activities, children have the opportunity to express themselves and develop their imagination and fine motor skills. We have an arts yurt children can explore all kinds of crafts.

Forest School

Forest School is a child-centred learning process, providing learner inspired, hands-on experiences in the natural environment. It's creative and can increase a child's confidence as they problem-solve and learn to manage risks.
