Neurosense Wild Learning

Welcome to NeuroSense Wild Learning Forest School

Our Forest School sessions provide children with the opportunity to learn, play and develop through regular experiences in nature. Sessions are child-led, encouraging curiosity, creativity, resilience, confidence and independence while allowing children to explore the natural world at their own pace. Our sessions are led by an experienced SEND and inclusion practitioner and are designed to be welcoming, nurturing and accessible for all children, including those who are neurodivergent or who benefit from alternative approaches to learning

We welcome children with a wide range of needs and abilities, including those who benefit from additional support, sensory-friendly environments or alternative approaches to learning.
