Recommended items for comfort:
This ensures your child is prepared for a wide range of outdoor activities and weather conditions.
Yes, our program follows the “Wild Passport” curriculum, which is specifically designed to complement national curriculum outcomes. This curriculum offers a unique blend of outdoor education and experiential learning, carefully aligning with the standards and objectives found in traditional educational settings.
Through a variety of hands-on activities and explorations in nature, children engage with key learning areas such as science, geography, and physical education, facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the subjects.
The Wild Passport curriculum ensures that while children are immersed in the joy of outdoor learning, they are also achieving important educational milestones.
Regular feedback will be given to parents about their child’s progress. This ensures you’re kept informed of their development, achievements, and areas for growth throughout their time with us.
To maximise the benefits of our program and ensure a cohesive group experience, we ask parents to commit to 4 consecutive weeks of sessions. We understand that flexibility is important, so if notified at least 7 days in advance, we can accommodate spreading these sessions over a maximum of 6 weeks to suit your scheduling needs.
However, please be aware that if more than 2 sessions are missed within a 6-week period, there is a possibility that your child’s place on our course could be offered to another participant on our waiting list.
This policy helps us maintain the quality and continuity of our program for all attendees.
We recognize that delays can occasionally occur. Should you be running late for a session, please notify us at your earliest convenience through a phone call or text to our designated contact.
For the safety and well-being of all involved, we ask that you refrain from bringing your child directly to the group upon late arrival, as this poses a safeguarding concern. Instead, please call us from the parking area, and a staff member will come to escort your child safely to the group.
Regular lateness may affect the overall group dynamic and limit your child’s engagement in activities. We value your commitment to keeping to our schedule, ensuring a positive and seamless experience for everyone.
We believe that taking managed risks is a vital part of learning and development. Minor cuts and bruises can be expected as children explore and engage with the natural environment. Our experienced staff are trained to balance safety with the benefits of risk-taking.
We do not offer a sibling discount. Each child’s place is valued equally, and our pricing reflects the quality and care provided in our sessions.
Our sessions are held outdoors and will proceed in most weather conditions. However, in the event of thunderstorms, high winds, or excessive snowstorms, sessions may be cancelled.
We will offer credits for sessions cancelled due to staff sickness and weather-related safety concerns.
If your child is unwell, particularly if they exhibit symptoms such as a fever (38 degrees or higher), vomiting, or diarrhoea within the last 48 hours, we strongly advise keeping them at home for their well-being and to prevent the spread of illness. Please notify us as soon as possible if your child will miss a session due to sickness.
We do not offer refunds or credits for sessions missed because of illness. Please note that a pattern of adverse attendance may lead to your child’s place in our course being offered to another child on our waiting list.
This policy helps us maintain a balanced and committed group dynamic, essential for the success of our program and the enjoyment of all participants.
No! In order to fully immerse our participants in the outdoor experience and encourage engagement with nature and each other, we have a policy of no electronic devices during sessions. This includes mobile phones, tablets, and any other digital gadgets. We believe this approach helps foster a deeper connection with the environment, promotes social interaction, and enhances the overall learning experience. If there’s an urgent need for communication, our staff will always be on hand to facilitate. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us create a focused and present outdoor learning community.
