About Acorn Play
Igniting a passion for nature and education
Our aim is to get more families connecting with and developing a deep love for nature, in an environment that nurtures learning through adventure and play.
We mirror the Forest School ethos and its Scandinavian roots, while weaving elements of the Early Years Curriculum into our activities and themes. Our holistic approach invites children to freely follow their curiosities alongside others, make new discoveries using natural resources and open-ended activities, and learn simple bush-craft that stimulates imagination and creativity.
The beautiful red cedar trees at our base camp offer a sheltered space for our community to come together for group times, led by an experienced Primary Infant teacher of over ten years...
Meet the Acorn Play Founder
Acorn Play has been founded by Hannah Hart, an experienced Infant Teacher of 13 years. Hannah is passionate about learning through play, experiential learning and the great outdoors. Her sessions include group times at base camp where children and their families can engage in a range of singing, storytelling, movement and drama.
Why did Hannah establish Acorn Play in 2024?
Because Hannah believes in:
🌿 Child-led exploration & play
📚 Learning beyond the classroom
🌞 The power of fresh air, freedom & friendship
