EARLY YEARS FOREST SCHOOL CURRICULUM & PRACTICE COMPANION BUNDLE
£24.99
A practical, thoughtful bundle for bringing together seasonal possibilities, child-led play and confident professional judgement.
A child returns to the same puddle. Carries sticks backwards and forwards. Watches from the edge. Builds something, takes it apart and begins again.
There is learning here. Knowing what to offer, when to join in and when to give it more time is where thoughtful practice comes in.
Our Early Years Forest School bundle brings together two complementary resources: the Curriculum & Session Library and the Practice Companion. Together, they help you prepare meaningful possibilities, recognise what children are showing you and adapt around the children, place and conditions in front of you.
At the heart of both is The Wild Lens™:
Notice first. Interpret cautiously. Respond intentionally.
WHAT’S INCLUDED?
EARLY YEARS FOREST SCHOOL CURRICULUM & SESSION LIBRARY
A flexible library to return to throughout the year, including:
• 48 session invitations across Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer
• Seasonal route indexes to help you find a starting point
• 12 longer projects that can develop over repeated visits
• Practical guidance on materials, preparation and the adult’s role
• Different routes into participation, with SEND, sensory and regulation considerations
• EYFS connections to help you recognise learning within the experience
• Prompts for noticing progression, deepening exploration and keeping an idea alive
Explore water, mud, trees, weather, wildlife, growing, building, natural marks, movement, food and caring for the place.
You can follow a seasonal route, choose one invitation, repeat a familiar experience or stay with a project as children’s ideas develop. The session library gives you possibilities to adapt around their interests and participation.
EARLY YEARS FOREST SCHOOL PRACTICE COMPANION
The companion helps you think through the practice surrounding those experiences, including:
• Keeping Forest School principles visible within early years provision
• Planning for play, repetition, curiosity and genuine agency
• Relationships, regulation, transitions and changing capacity
• Schemas and the possible meanings beneath repeated actions
• Inclusive participation and different ways of joining in
• Care routines, babies, toddlers, preschool children and Reception
• Working with small or urban outdoor spaces
• Supported risk and thoughtful use of tools, fire, food and rope
• Practitioner wellbeing and support for neurodivergent adults
Alongside the guidance, you’ll find reflection tools, planners, observation records and audits to use when they are helpful.
These pages support your thinking. Choose the ones that serve your practice and return to them when something needs closer attention.
ROOM FOR THE CHILD TO SHAPE WHAT HAPPENS
Early years learning grows through relationships, care, movement, repetition, exploration and time.
A familiar experience can offer something new on a different day. Watching can be a meaningful way to participate. Carrying materials can matter as much as building with them.
The bundle helps you notice these different routes, offer useful support and protect space for children’s ideas.
WHO IS IT FOR?
• Forest School practitioners working with young children
• Childminders
• Nursery and preschool teams
• Reception staff
• Home educators supporting children from birth to five
Use it alongside your knowledge of the children, your setting and your professional responsibilities. Experiences involving tools, fire, food and rope need to sit within practitioner competence, appropriate supervision and your own risk-benefit judgement.
