I absolutely love my job. It almost feels like a privilege to help children connect with nature
I absolutely love my job. feel so lucky, although being outside in all weathers is not for everyone! We take 15 children each session and use the same area of woodland. This way they begin to take ownership of the area and can see it change seasonally. It’s like a classroom without walls, stripped of the usual boundaries.
Coming from a rather traditional teaching background, I’ve found it hard to step back. The thing was, I was so used to planning everything in advance.
Now I have to trust the children and let them take the lead. In Forest School there are no wrong answers and no judgement, and that’s what builds confidence and empowers children.
I would advise anyone who’s passionate about getting children outdoors to consider it as a career - it’s inspiring to watch children learn in this way. Work almost feels like therapy - this really is a job that’s good for the soul!
