Training Pathways
Each pathway is designed to deepen understanding, strengthen practice, and honour the wild wisdom of childhood.
The Wild Lens™
Setting Development Programme
A structured whole-setting programme designed to move learning from one course or one person into shared team practice.
The programme can combine leadership reflection, baseline review, practitioner training, resources, an environment or practice audit, implementation support and follow-up review.
-
Identify a clear setting priority
-
Build shared understanding across the team
-
Develop nominated Nature Practice Leads
-
Apply learning within the setting
-
Review what has changed and what needs to happen next
Whole-setting change begins with a shared lens.
Create inclusive, nature-rich practice that is understood across the whole team - not dependent on one confident practitioner.
Strong practice should not disappear when one person is absent.
Many settings have one practitioner who understands outdoor learning, one SENCO who carries inclusion, or one leader who is trying to move practice forward while managing everything else.
The result can be inconsistency. Children experience different expectations, language and adult responses depending on who is working that day.
We help teams develop a shared way of noticing, understanding and responding so meaningful change becomes part of everyday practice rather than another short-lived initiative.
A clearer, more consistent approach
-
Listen - understand your context, strengths and pressures.
-
Notice - explore current practice, environments and team confidence.

Prioritise - agree one or two meaningful areas for development.

Develop - provide training, tools and implementation support.
-
Reflect - review impact and decide what comes next.
