ABOUT us

We are an outdoor, play-based centre for fully home-educated children as well as children who are struggling within the classroom. Our sessions provide a safe, nurturing space where children can be children without any expectations, limitations or instruction on how or what to play. We set up opportunities to play and learn throughout the setting following the children's passions and interests, allowing children to play exactly as they wish. Adult facilitators are on hand as and when needed to guide and mentor our children and young people.

Our programme has proven to be extremely successful in helping children with special educational needs, as well as neurotypical children. In the 3 years we have been open, we have helped over 100 children and young people dramatically improve their social, emotional and mental health simply by providing them with what they need - prolonged unstructured, uninterrupted play time in beautiful nature alongside nurturing adults.

the setting:

The Willows is a unique, outdoor learning space for children. Immersed in an acre of woodland and open pasture, we offer a safe, secure, outdoor environment for children to play, learn and be free!
