This Forest Kindergarten Course is taking place in Hampshire.
We are hosting other courses – please visit the Forest Kindergarten Training homepage to read more.
The Forest Kindergarten Award has been designed to specifically meet the needs of Early Years practitioners who would like to use outdoor spaces on a regular basis, for learning and play.
Candidates will be trained and equipped with all the knowledge and processes they need to be able to deliver Forest Kindergarten sessions within their own setting.
The programme consists of:
Candidates will be supplied with an SQA Workbook, wider resources and all Assessment materials.
Candidates do require suitable outdoor clothing for any weather foreseeable, including wet and cold conditions. While we will adapt the course as needed to extremes of weather, we do not expect to alter the plan.
Forest Kindergarten Course is a National Workplace Award, equivalent to National Vocational Qualification Level 4 or Higher National Certificate (HNC). It is credited at Scottish Credit Qualifications Framework (SCQF) Level 7 but applies across the UK (and beyond). You can compare Qualification levels here.
Your nursery or early years setting will also be qualified to display the Learning through Landscapes Forest Kindergarten accreditation logo on your website:
