Different expertise. Shared purpose.
We don’t expect one organisation to do everything.
​
The strongest partnerships allow each partner to bring what they know well, whether that’s pedagogy, environments, sensory practice, practitioner development, resources, research or community support.
​
Through collaboration, we can create opportunities that are more useful, accessible and grounded in real practice.
Shared values
We partner with organisations whose work genuinely complements our approach.
Practical impact
Partnerships should offer something meaningful to practitioners, settings, children or families.
Professional integrity
We remain clear about where our expertise ends and another partner’s begins.
Current partners
The Ministry of Outdoor Education
​
Creating environments where possibility can grow.
The Ministry of Outdoor Education creates thoughtfully designed indoor and outdoor learning equipment for Early Years settings, schools and educational environments. Their work shares our belief in the value of natural materials, meaningful outdoor experiences and environments that invite children to explore.
​
Our partnership brings together two complementary perspectives: the environment children experience, and the lens adults use to understand what happens within it.
​
Through The Wild Lens™, WTWOL encourages practitioners to look beyond what an outdoor space contains and consider what it actually makes possible, movement, agency, investigation, retreat, connection, appropriate risk, creativity and child-led play.
​
Together, there is an opportunity to support settings not simply to create beautiful outdoor environments, but to think more deeply about how those environments are experienced and used.

What could we genuinely make better by working together?
Could our work complement yours?
If your organisation shares our interest in child-led practice, outdoor learning, inclusive Early Years, practitioner development, meaningful environments or helping adults see children differently, we’d love to hear from you.
​
We’re particularly interested in collaborations where each organisation brings genuine expertise and the outcome offers something useful to the people we serve.
