Forest School Leader & Certified Outdoor Mental Health Practitioner

Independent Therapeutic Forest Practitioner, passionate about Early Years, SEN, emotional development, wellbeing and supporting families.

My goal is to provide Green Social Prescribing Woodcraft for Wellbeing sessions for adults, family groups, Home Educated children and SEN specific groups.

Fireflies currently work within various Aberdeen schools at both primary and academy levels offering Forest School and Outdoor Learning opportunities to support wellbeing. At our own site near Methlick we provide opportunities for a variety of ages, including an ASN group for those at Primary level. Our aim is to support and offer opportunities to play as well as learn skills and strategies in the outdoors. We encourage all to spend time in nature to nurture and thrive.

I am an experienced forest school leader, educational visits adviser and accredited practitioner through the Institute of Outdoor Learning (APIOL). I set up Muddy Toes & The Outdoor Club CIC as I am passionate about using the outdoors to improve mental and physical wellbeing, for all ages and stages. Through our not-for-profit organisation, I work with all age groups, from new parents and babies, to school groups and adults. With my work as an educational visit adviser, I support schools to embed robust processes and procedures, to ensure that all children have access to high quality educational visits.

The best way to contact me is by emailing hello@muddytoes.co.uk or through our Muddy Toes website www.muddytoes.co.uk

"Our therapeutic forest school sessions are delivered by qualified Therapeutic Forest School Practitioners and Outdoor Mental Health Practitioners. These sessions are suitable for children and young people with additional needs or as an intervention for children and young people with Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs. The sessions are designed to break down the barriers to participation and learning through carefully guided opportunities for learning and play. We can support children and young people with:

● Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE)

● Attachment difficulties

● Developmental trauma

● Those requiring inclusive communication strategies

● Those with sensory processing needs

● Those with learning disabilities and autism

● Those with SEMH needs

● Those with behavioural needs

We tailor all our sessions to the need of the child/young person and offer these as 1:1 or as small group intensive wellbeing support. Please get in touch to discuss your children’s needs and where we can help."

Jenny is a Certified Outdoor Mental Health Practitioner who is a Forest School and Outdoor Learning lead.

We work with communities - creating spaces for communities to come together, create and play. We work with NEET and Home Educated children in the outdoors in therapeutic settings designed for well being and personal development. We work with under-served communities connecting them with their local green spaces.

I am an experienced Forest School Leader and Outdoor Mental Health Practitioner working within a mainstream primary school using the natural environment as a tool to foster emotional regulation, resilience, and social skills. I create a safe and inclusive space for children, particularly those who struggle in the formal classroom environment, where they can engage with the outdoors and participate in activities designed to build self-esteem, develop coping strategies, and improve emotional awareness.

Learning Mentor

Passionate about nature and its benefits on our wellbeing! Currently run groups for 0-5's in a beautiful patch of woodland in Hingham, Norfolk. Hoping to expand to host sessions for all school age children.

I'm John, owner and lead facilitator at escape education who loves being outside and have learned over the years it's my true happy place. For nearly 4 years I've been running escape education to support wellbeing and SEMH needs for young people through a bespoke eco therapy and forest school set up. It took a big injury in 2009 to realise that I didn't need to be doing outdoor adrenaline sports competitively to get the benefits that nature offers and the past 15 years has been living that reality and appreciating the wonder all around us!
