Jack and Gill Childcare and Forest School

Research says that when you walk into a woodland, within 5 minutes your body and brain start to change. Your heart rate slows and your facial muscles begin to relax. Your frontal lobes quieten down helping your productivity and creativity later in the day.Too many of us in today's busy society spend too much time indoors and we forget so quickly our real roots are actually within nature and not technology.Again and again, studies are suggesting that being in nature exercises a powerful effect on the way that brains and bodies develop, and that playing outside creates the conditions for the free, creative and autonomous play that fosters naturally healthy, motivated and confident children.We were established in 2003 and have grown to offer our families the opportunity to be part of the Forest School Community.We look after babies right through to the end of primary school aged children (in our wrap around school care and holiday clubs).
