OUR VISION
Little Seeds for a Better Future
OUR MISSION
We provide children with opportunities for free play in Nature, within a framework of respect for themselves, others and the environment.
IF YOU BELIEVE THAT:
-
Children need time and space to follow their own interests through free play,
-
Children thrive in caring, supportive environments where they can develop authentic, trusting relationships with adults and other children,
-
Children learn best in mixed aged, democratic groups where their voice is heard, and they have a say in how the group functions,
-
Children need the opportunity to take risks and set their own challenges in order to become confident, capable adults,
-
Learning about the natural world is essential for growing healthy children and ensuring a sustainable future for humanity...
Pack your bag and join us for the adventure! You’ll need to bring:
Experience working with children and awareness and sensitivity to their needs.
Absolute passion for getting children outdoors in all weather and in varied conditions.
A willingness to learn best practice in managing groups in the outdoor environment, and to deepen your understanding of the role of adults in children’s free play.
Drive and Commitment to bring something new to your community, sharing your knowledge about the importance of free play in nature.
Financial Resources to meet the investment requirements
Organisational skills to manage the time and effort required to create and sustain a high-quality programme.
People skills to ensure effective interactions with staff, parents, children, and the wider community.
