HOME EDUCATION

Wednesdays and Fridays drop off sessions

This is a session for home educated children aged 5 and over. Full autonomy. Each week we have a range of activities available for the children to participate in. This includes guided nature activities such as woodwork, knot tying, fire starting, cooking on the fire, and natural arts and crafts.

Our ethos at Mud Club is to allow the children to explore nature in a supportive and nurturing environment . All activities are consent based, playful and with a hands on approach! We are always eager to hear the children's opinions about what else they would like to do at Mud Club and how we can facilitate their ideas.

The idea of booking the half term is to enable the children to settle into their visit to us each week - to grow individually as well as part of the group. We hope that together the children will come up with their learning patterns which we can support and build together. Being in nature, the children can witness the cycle of the seasons, and see how the site changes as the weeks go by. We also hope to begin ongoing projects that will evolve each week.

Ellie and Emily share a love of creating nutritious and delicious food, and are always finding new dishes to cook with the children! There is something so special about cooking on an open fire!

All practitioners that work at Mud Club are DBS checked. We have Paediatric and Outdoor First Aid Training , Safeguarding Training and food hygiene. We are also Ofsted registered.

We have had a few different practitioners joining us and each session is different and wonderful in its own way. We celebrate the seasons. In-between workshops, we will provide homemade food, special drinks, and mindful, nature based crafts to take home.

SoundScape by Tracey, before we float back to reality in an ultimate state of relaxation! Lay back beneath the trees whilst absorbing the sound and vibration created by crystal singing bowls - each bowl is tuned to a note that is said to correspond with the chakras in your body to promote a sense of calm, relaxation and healing.
