Welcome to A Breath of Fresh Air Wild Nurture. We provide holiday club sessions with a Forest School ethos, for 5 to 11 years old. These sessions are all about enjoying nature, playing and exploring through activities such as fire lighting, den building, gardening activities, campfire cooking, crafts with nature, using hand tools and team games.
We have different provocations set up for every session linked to a theme, alongside open-ended self-lead forest school activities. Wild Nurture Holiday Club sessions are between 9-4pm. |

An Outline of a typical day at the Wild Nurture Holiday Club...We begin with a welcome around the log circle where everyone is welcomed and the day's overarching theme is shared.
Morning Session - children are then invited to to choose how they wish to play for the morning session. An adult-facilitated morning activity will also be available. Half way through the morning, we invite children back to the log circle for their morning snack and a game. Lunchtime - We will then all come back together around the log circle for lunch time, and a group activity. Afternoon Session - The children will have the opportunity to take part in further self-led exploration of the woodland and activities on offer during the afternoon alongside a second adult-facilitated afternoon activity. And finally - we come back together around the log circle with the fire on. Children are invited to share they experiences, listen to a story with a hot chocolate and a snack cooked on the fire. Children are encouraged to take home their own crafts from the day to share with their grown ups! |
