Who We Are

Learn more

We’re a warm, child-led learning community where curiosity steers the journey. Every Tuesday we head out to Greenwich Park for a full day of nature-rich discovery, and from 10am the rest of the week we run lively home-education classes packed with hands-on learning.

Our sessions are overflowing with creative activities and crafts, and children choose community projects that make a real difference; from growing food for Greenwich Food Bank to building a little outdoor library that invites neighbours to read more. Days can include hiking and den-building, hammocks and tree-climbing, sand art and drone-flying, whittling and plant-spotting, plus scavenger hunts, leaf wind chimes and team games inspired by nature.

We’re driven by a simple passion: inspiring children and building their confidence.
