Creative Practice Exposed:

Forest Schools – Martin Pace
Reflections Nursery (voted Nursery of the Year in 2009 by Nursery World) operates a Forest School educational programme as an additional option for children at the nursery aged 3-5 years. Find out more about what a Forest School is, and how it has been developed in this setting.

An artists’ experience of working in a Children and Family Centre – Jane Gordon
How can practitioners working in early years settings become less restrictive and more creative in the ways they deliver the Early Years Foundation Stage? How can parents get more involved and how can young children and their settings become more visible in the community? Jane has been working on this question with children and staff at Hastings and St Leonard’s Children’s Centre.
