We know that children thrive in stimulating environments where they are free to play, explore, imagine and learn and this will be how our Little Owls will learn to fly.

Activities are planned and overseen by a qualified teacher designed to facilitate learning, with forest school and outdoor learning as regular features on their curriculum – we encourage messy play so can’t guarantee your Little Owl will come home clean but we can guarantee they will be encouraged to develop in a way which is fun and immersive using the outdoors as much as possible.
