Croydon, United Kingdom The Woodshed Forest School Nursery Full time

It has been reported that there are record numbers of practitioners thinking of leaving the sector due to excessive workloads, pressure and unharmonious provisions that are not nice places to work.

The latest early years legislation places a heavy emphasis on behavioural management which is clearly a big issue in many nurseries around the country as children are crammed into increasingly smaller spaces denied the ability to lead play or be wild and free.

Answer........ The Woodshed Forest School Nursery.

At our last Ofsted inspection, the inspector asked what behavioural strategies we have in place. Our answer was 'nothing'. Being outside in the woods has an extraordinary impact on physical and mental health and reconnects us to the natural world. Our woodland site provides a calm, wild and free space where children learn to self-regulate, self-motivate, empathise, socialise, be confident and develop all-round emotional intelligence.

The management team have worked hard to slim line our operation, thus reducing your workload.

**About Us**

At the Woodshed forest school nursery, we know what it takes to enhance children's holistic development. Our unique approach to learning and magical woodland site makes The Woodshed more than just a physical Nursery School - it’s a life experience.
