My Summary
About Me
Hello, I'm Emma, a childminder with a strong passion for outdoor learning and a Forest School approach. I believe that children thrive when they have the freedom to explore, discover and connect with the natural world. In my setting, the outdoors is not just an occasional activity - it's an essential part of our daily rhythm. Whether we're building dens, observing wildlife, splashing in puddles, or learning through hands-on woodlands play, I aim to create experiences that spark curiosity, confidence and resilience.
My approach follows Forest School principles: nurturing independence, encouraging risk-aware play, and supporting each child's emotional and social development through meaningful time spent outdoors. I provide a caring, child-led environment where every child can grow at their own pace while developing a lifelong love for nature.
If you're looking for a nurturing, nature-focused childcare experience where your child can learn, explore, and flourish in the fresh air, I'd be delighted to tell you more.

I worked as a primary school teacher for several years and have also worked at a local nature reserve, leading parent and toddler sessions as well as school trips and forest school sessions.
