Learn more about our philosophy

Nestled in nature, we are a small, family-run business committed to nurturing the development of young minds through an immersive Forest School experience. Since our founding in 2003, we've cherished the hands-on approach that allows us to work closely with every child in our care, making us unique in offering a personal touch that larger chains just can't replicate.

Our philosophy stems from a deep belief in the power of nature. At Jack and Gill, we aim to reconnect children with the natural world, reminding them of their roots beyond the confines of technology and indoor spaces. Studies consistently highlight the profound impact nature has on brain and body development, fostering creativity, confidence, and motivation through free and imaginative play.

Our Forest School is led by fully qualified Forest School Leaders and staff trained in the practices and ethos that make us a valued part of the Forest School Community. Here, children enhance their physical, social, and language skills in a nurturing environment. We consciously create a space where children are encouraged to explore, learn, and grow through self-led adventures, feeling inspired and uplifted every step of the way.

At Jack and Gill, we are committed to guiding your children towards a more profound understanding and care for their natural world. We believe in empowering every child to reach their full potential by offering a supportive and enriching educational journey. Join us in cultivating a love for learning and nature that will benefit your child's development and confidence for years to come.
