Who we are
We believe education is about living people, not products or data points. Our network of educators, parents, social entrepreneurs and researchers are creating a socially mobile, empowering culture of change within education. Opportunities for change exist in every school and community. We are here to support you in designing, creating and launching your education project; be it a progressive nursery school, home and community education programme, or micro-school.
"The world is undergoing revolutionary changes; we need a revolution in education too. Like most revolutions, this one has been brewing for a long time, and in many places it is already under way. It is not coming from the top down; it is coming, as it must do, from the ground up." -Sir Ken Robinson, Creative Schools: The Grassroots Revolution That's Transforming Education
Our Ethos
For us, childhood is the time not for competitiveness but for self discovery, developing curiosity, confidence and the skills to become active participants in a democratic society.
Our Mission
We empower and celebrate the work of those who are working with children in ways that connect us to nature and to each other.
Our Vision
A future where place-based & nature-based education is the norm, where communities are thriving & where children are treated with care & respect, by & for people who love their community.
Our Guiding Principles
Outdoor Nurseries Are Changing the World
True change comes from practitioner-led, community-based, and grass-roots innovators. We are here to support the problem-solvers and change-makers working to reactivate their communities through their work with children.
