Hi,
I am a childminder based within Worcestershire and I am currently completing a Early Years Foundation Degree. As part of the course I am researching how childminder's can introduce a Forest School Ethos / Woodland experiences within their settings, as I have a real passion for this type of provision. Below I have put together a few questions that would help me to obtain other views of childminders that have already introduced this type of provision. so if there is anyone who wouldnt mind sparing a few minutes to share your thoughts that would be great, as I understand time is precious. As the information will be used to inform my research all information shared will be kept confidential at all times any information can be withdrawn at any time and will follow the British Educational Research Association guidelines. Thankyou.
1.What do you think the benefits to your children have been since adapting a forest school ethos within your setting?
2.What did your children enjoy the most?
3.What barriers do you feel exist for childminders in adapting their outdoor environment to incorporate a Forest School Ethos?
4.How could these barriers be addressed?
5.Do you think your outdoor provision has been improved by incorporating a Forest School Ethos?
