Confession time.
My sincere apologies to anyone who turned up at Stover to discover I wasn't there. I got my weekends all in a muddle. I was really looking forward to exploring Stover with you all.

Sorry once again for anyone who made the effort to travel.

Are you looking forward to your young person going back to school 🏫 ?

I'm going to be completely honest, I absolutely am! 🤪
Don't get me wrong we have made the most of the break (the weather helped) but it hasn't been without its challenges and i can feel my sanity slowly slipping away. 🫠
E is on a countdown of sleeps till school, he is desperate to hang out with his friends and I; well I think I'll just sit in silence for a while with the dog 🍁.

Home Ed sessions are back at Churchwood Forest School!

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1LEDrVicvi/

🌿 We are so excited to finally announce that our Forest Home Ed sessions will be starting this September! 🌿

Finding the right person to lead these sessions was incredibly important to us, so we knew we couldn't rush the decision. We wanted someone who truly shares our values and passion for nurturing children through nature—and we couldn't be happier to welcome Faye to the Churchwood team.

Faye has worked as a qualified Occupational Therapist across children's and adult services for the past 12 years. Throughout her career, she has loved supporting people of all ages to develop, grow and thrive through activities that are meaningful to them. Combining that philosophy with her passion for the outdoors makes this role a true dream come true.

Faye is passionate about creating a nurturing, welcoming environment where children can discover the natural world through play, curiosity, exploration and adventure, while building confidence, resilience and a lifelong love of the outdoors.

We can't wait for Faye to join the Churchwood family this September, and she can't wait to meet all of our wonderful home-educating families.

Keep an eye on our page over the coming weeks for more information about the sessions, how they'll run and how to book. We can't wait to begin this exciting new chapter with you! 🌲🍂
