Testimonials
Sheena's sessions are fantastic. She gives the children freedom within limits and through her well planned sessions they are able to develop new skills and learn how to problem solve and build up their resilience. They often come back from the session covered in mud with massive grins of delight. It's an aspect all children should have the opportunity to enjoy in childhood

We joined the Survival Challenge for the first time on Sunday and my (almost) five year old loved it! Den building, fire making, flag & mud painting, smores making & hot chocolate in the woods.. a perfect morning! My son thoroughly enjoyed it, thanks Sheena!

The twiglets sessions are brilliant. My daughter started going at 18 months old and Sheena manages the mix of ages very well (approx 18months - 4years). Daughter loves the sessions, being outside, playing with leaves and twigs, mud painting, and discovery walks.

Fab survival and den building session today. My 7 year old and I really loved meeting other families and working together to make a shelter. Definitely recommended
Donna Bean Stevenson - Parent
My 2½ year old loves the weekly twiglets sessions. He is so engaged in all the activities, loves the variety of activities that Sheena aims at the correct level for their age. My son 6 attended the survival challenge on the weekend and loved every minute, didn't want to come home! Highly recommend!!
