Our mission:

Empowering childrens’ learning from and through nature play.

We offer customised planning and programming to get children outside; playing and learning from and through nature in their local places. Working with Primary schools and pre-school services, through the Bush Sprouts programme we take children to their local bush space weekly.  Our Nature School programme (1 day School) runs weekly. Our experienced and qualified professionals nurture and extend childrens’ love for and learning from and through nature. Funding may be available.

Bush Sprouts Programme

A custom made nature play programme for your school. We manage the set-up as facilitation for as long as as you need, with the aim of creating a fantastic, sustainable programme for your school to continue running. Funding may be available.

Nature School Programme

A weekly, long-term programme offering the benefits and joys of learning from and through nature with a small group of experienced educators. Children between 4 and 10 years enrol privately with permission and in consultation with their school.

Bush Sprouts Holiday Programme

 Our wildly popular Bush Sprouts holiday programmes have been selling out within two days, as they are the ‘best day ever’ for so many children.  Join our mailing list to hear first about when they’re coming up. 

Footloose & Fancy free play

Our Footloose & fancy free play programme sees us visit Schools and events with our trailer full of trash, to enable and promote child-led freeplay, as well as sustainability through re-use of resources.
