Our Summary
About Us
At Hoglets Daycare & Forest School, each child’s journey begins with curiosity, confidence, and discovery. Nestled within the beautiful Austerfield Mosaic reserve, our setting offers access to vast woodland spaces that become an extension of our classroom — where learning is lived, explored and experienced.
Our unique approach blends Forest School principals with expeditionary learning, encouraging children to investigate, question and make sense of the world around them. We believe school readiness is not simply about letters and numbers — it is about resilience, independence, communication, critical thinking, and a love of learning.
“Children grow when they are given space to explore.”
Through regular woodland sessions, children engage in den building, nature investigations, seasonal exploration, tool use, storytelling and hands-on discovery. Repeated access to our woodland environment supports problem-solving, teamwork and risk-aware decision making — essential foundations for a confident transition into school.
Alongside our outdoor provision, our well-resourced indoor environment supports early literacy, mathematics, expressive arts and communication development in line with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). Skilled, qualified practitioners use careful observation and purposeful questioning to extend children’s thinking, deepen understanding and expand on personal interests.
Our dedicated team are trained in safeguarding, paediatric first aid and food hygiene, as a statutory. Our staff are highly qualified individuals with a passion for personal development; we have level 3 and level 6 qualified early years practitioners alongside our in-house forest school teacher. Our Curriculum planning is conducted by or in house QTS primary school teacher with a specialism in Educational Psychology.
Ensuring children are cared for in a safe, supportive and inspiring environment. Strong partnerships with families are central to our ethos, as we work together to give every child the very best start.
At Hoglets, we don’t just prepare children for school — we prepare them for a lifetime of loving to learn.
