Forest for all

The Very Inclusive Play Club and Trees and Seas Outdoor Adventures work in collaboration delivering woodland and beach sessions for children and families with additional support needs.

 

These sessions are led by therapeutic forest practitioners, forest school leaders/assistants and childcare practitioners.

​

We bring together 30 years of combined knowledge and experience and are keen to offer a natural, safe, calm and supported environment for your children to play, learn and have fun.

​

Our sessions are mainly child-led with some games and activities to assist in the development of resilience, independence, language, social and emotional skills.

​

Child-led play gives children the freedom to explore and learn at their own pace, this also allows us to identify what their interests are and we can focus in on this to help them to connect with nature.

​

Sessions will be tailored to ensure they meet the needs of each child. Siblings are welcome to attend and we promote sibling bonding to help create special family memories.

​

Parents of children with additional support needs can have many concerns such as:

• Will my child be able to take part in the activity?

• Will staff leading the activity understand their needs and adjust their communication style in line with accordingly?

•  Can anyone use sign?

•  Is there adapted equipment available?

• Will anyone understand how to manage behaviour others may find challenging?

​

Our response to all these queries and concerns is a resounding YES! We have the training, experience and skills to support your child. We may need to make adjustments now and again, and are always willing to take advice from you the parents and carers who know your child best.

 

Questions and concerns can all be discussed prior to booking sessions, to allow us to support your child in the best way we can.
