About us

Wild Things was created from my love of working with children, animals and being outside. Once I'd discovered Forest School was a 'thing', I was hooked. 

I've worked with children for the past 17 years and grown up around animals and the forest. I am now qualified as a Level 3 Forest School leader and I have found a perfect opportunity to now be able to provide a provision that I feel has so many benefits.

I strongly believe in the endless rewards that Forest School and outdoor learning brings - emotional wellbeing, social development, confidence and resilience building to name a few.
