What attendees had to say...
A very informative, hands on professional development opportunity that opened my professional practice to include more nature play and why it is important for child development.
I truly appreciated all the care and effort that was provided throughout the experience. All the staff were amazing, so positive, supportive, and welcoming. Everything was thoughtfully organised, and it created such a meaningful and enjoyable experience. I’m very grateful to have been part of it.
A very hands on PD that provided real world experiences to support confidence in replicating at service. The information provided was supported with theoretical data to support implementation.
Wonderful training. It’s made me feel inspired and motivated to explore and discover nature with my children.
