What The Parents Say…….

"In comparison to the other days of the week, when my son is in an indoor nursery, its obvious a whole other side of who he is is expressed in the woods. An important part of him has the space to come alive running and playing in the endless space of the woods."

“His confidence has improved and he is much keener to get into the garden or go to our local woods whatever the weather”

“In attending SG our boys will have fostered a lifelong interest in nature and the outdoors”

“The Secret Garden is a nurturing and stimulating environment where children can develop, physically, mentally and emotionally at their own pace”

“A sense of place … so fundamental to being able to respect, nurture and protect the earth … it comes from frequent exposure to being with and walking on the earth so that it comes from within the individual, from the heart”

“They develop an appreciation of physical potential and limits, and a sensible attitude to risk taking, co-ordination, strength and self esteem”
