Forest School Childminder Session

Embedding the EYFS Through High-Quality Outdoor Pedagogy

Join us with the children in your care for a professionally facilitated Forest School session that demonstrates how the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) can be effectively delivered through rich, child-centred experiences in the natural environment.

This interactive session will provide live modelling of evidence-informed practice, showcasing how outdoor learning promotes children's communication and language, physical development, personal, social and emotional development, and wider curriculum outcomes through exploration, enquiry, risk-taking, and play.

Participants will observe and engage in a range of developmentally appropriate experiences, including nature-based discovery, storytelling, movement, and collaborative learning, while exploring the pedagogical principles that underpin effective outdoor practice.
