New Ridan Composter
01/10/2021
Our Forest School children got a big suprise last week when they saw our latest piece of equiement. They could not guess what it was. One even thought it was a machine for making giant ice creams!
In reality it's a composting machine. From now on, all our Nursery food waste will be transported up to our Forest School on a daily basis, and then emptied into our new composter. This will both provide us with an endless supply of organic compost to support our expanding organic food production facility and provide us with a much more environmentally friendly way of disposing of our food waste.

The benefits of outdoor learning
We passionately believe that children experience a huge range of benefits when they are playing and learning outside in natural environments. The natural world provides an infinite amount more learning resources and opportunities that can ever be provided in a single room or playground. This why we have purchased a completely secure and private nine acre field in Denholme, which it is in the process of developing into our own forest school facility, where children can be taken to enjoy playing and learning all day in a totally natural environment. We are not alone in believing this as a large number of studies show that children benefit from learning outdoors in many ways.
