Bringing Learning & Nature Together
At Ambleford, we provide high-quality outdoor education experiences for Individual parents, schools, charities, and businesses. Whether you’re looking for regular learning sessions, bespoke school visits, or team-building activities, our immersive, nature-based approach fosters confidence, curiosity, and practical skills in an inspiring outdoor setting.
Councils & Local Groups
We work with local councils, community groups, and environmental organisations to develop and deliver high-quality outdoor education initiatives. Our services include creating and enhancing outdoor learning spaces, running environmental education workshops, and supporting community engagement projects. We can provide nature-based programmes for youth groups, family initiatives, and wellbeing projects, as well as volunteer training to equip local teams with the skills to deliver outdoor learning.
Home Education Sessions
We offer weekly outdoor education sessions tailored to home-educated children. Our hands-on approach blends Forest School principles, bushcraft, animal care, nature studies, and curriculum-linked learning in a fun and engaging way. Sessions encourage independence, teamwork, and problem-solving while making the most of our natural surroundings. With a strong focus on practical skills and creativity, our home education groups provide a welcoming and enriching learning environment for children of all ages.
Services for Schools & Nurseries
We work with schools to bring learning to life beyond the classroom. Our flexible programmes range from outdoor education days at Ambleford to on-site Forest School sessions, after-school clubs, and bespoke curriculum-linked experiences. We also provide teacher CPD and INSET training to help schools confidently integrate outdoor learning into their teaching practice. Whether you’re looking for a one-off session or a long-term partnership, we create engaging learning experiences that support the curriculum while fostering resilience, teamwork, and a love for nature.
Services for Charities & Businesses
We collaborate with charities, organisations, and businesses to offer meaningful outdoor experiences tailored to a range of needs. Whether you’re looking for wellbeing-focused programmes, team-building days, or outdoor skills workshops, we can design bespoke sessions that encourage connection, resilience, and practical learning. Our team also provides consultancy for organisations looking to develop their own outdoor learning spaces or community projects.
