Who we are

NEC BEE

The Nature Experience Company is a mobile Forest School providing sessions in educational settings.

We are passionate about providing children the opportunity to explore nature first-hand.

Forest School inspires a deep and meaningful connection to the world and an understanding of how the learner fits within it. We create a safe, non-judgemental, nurturing environment that allows them to feel supported when trying new things. We encourage learners to take supported risks with a holistic approach. There are risks in everything we do but we grow by overcoming them, recognising what risks are, and how we can navigate them. Our aim is to support learners to become healthy, resilient, creative, and independent humans.

Face behind the brand

Hello, I’m Layla, founder of The Nature Experience Company. My passion for Forest School sparked from witnessing the skills learnt, joy, and knowledge my own two small humans got from attending Forest Schools sessions.

I have been working within Forest Schools for over eight years and I’m passionate to get children outdoors freely exploring nature. I use a scaffolding approach with the learners which allows them to explore the outdoors safely, providing them with tools to expand their knowledge and learn new skills. I believe the best lessons learnt are through independent exploration.

Testimonials

Indie loved her Forest School days with Layla. She would always come home so excited to tell us about all the wonderful things she saw whilst out and about. Layla made the outdoors the most exciting place to be and really sparked Indie's love of nature. To this day Indie cannot walk past a stick without inspecting it to see if this would make the perfect marshmallow stick to whittle!
