Our Vision
"Slow down. There’s no need to hurry through this chapter called, ‘Childhood’, it’s not till you reach the end that you realise the entire journey was inspired by and for it”
Wellbeing
Wellbeing is approached in a holistic manner, nurturing the child’s emotional, social, psychological and physical development. Acknowledging that mental health is something that should be nurtured early, tapping into the child’s absorbent mind to equip them with resilience and a sense of empowerment.
Learning is a by-product of exploring and engaging with a mix of purposeful and open ended materials.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness is intertwined within our pedagogical approach, as being ‘present’ with our thoughts, hearts and interactions is becoming a lost art.
Building meaningful connections between self and the environment.
Nurturing and guiding children’s innate tendencies for learning and exploring, supporting their journey with a responsive, ‘why not!’
Supporting harmonious relationships; first with self, the micro-community, which is Bambi Forest School and our local community.
Creating
Creating a harmonious space that equally encapsulates the essence of authentic joy and peace, one that nourishes a child’s innate tendencies, enabling him/her to unfold into an empowered being.
Our educators are ‘facilitators’ to children’s innate desire to ‘learn’ and thus embrace an emergent curriculum, enabling children to guide us with their interests using the Project Approach.
Recognising that what we refer to as ‘space’ encompasses not only the physical environment but the psychological and spiritual space nurtured by our team.
Clear orderly environment to support children’s sense of belonging and capacity to make independent choices and return activities as they found them.
Establish and reinforce self-confidence and self-esteem by building on natural strengths, interests and abilities.
Educators demonstrate empathy for children’s individual learning and development journeys.
Minimal visual noise, clutter and lighting.
Links between agencies and within the community.
At Bambi Forest School, we believe that an Autism friendly environment is beneficial for children of all abilities.
