Woodland Garden
“Imagine a world where the lines were harsh and unyielding, the textures were consistent and variation is unheard of. Does it inspire you?
Now imagine a place where the carpet changes every day, the ceiling is a myriad of different colours, light, shadow and movement. The feelings and movement completely surround you, sometimes breezy, sometimes cold, others warm. Unexpected wonders fly by, sometimes full of colour and sometimes full of noise and movement.
If we really want children to thrive we need to let their connection to nature nurture them.”
(Nurture Through Nature, Claire Warden 2007)
Little Cherubs has been fortunate in acquiring the use of some private land to carry out our outdoor learning and Forest Learning sessions.
Spending extended and regular time in the woods allowing us to observe the seasonal changes and make discoveries and this resource provides the best opportunities to meet our early learning goals.
We aim to bring each child on one trip per week to our Secret Forest. This is a private piece of land for our use only and not for the general public. This adds to the mystery and intrigue for the children and allows us flexibility to visit 5Β days a week if we desire.
It is a versatile area which we can adapt to our needs. We have created a story corner, natural mud slide, bird hide, arches, wigwams and more.
View the photos to see the fun and exploring we have done!
