About

Hi, we’re Sharon and Paul and we run regular sessions for families, childminders, nurseries and schools to access a woodland environment using fun and exciting activities.

About Sharon: A lifelong champion of children, Sharon has worked as a childminder, in schools, and is a qualified Nursery Nurse with a degree in Supporting Learning. Her passion for nurturing little ones truly shines through in everything she does!

About Paul: A proud Sheffield Wednesday fan and keen fisherman, Paul is a roofer by trade who ran his own business (now taken over by his son). He’s also a talented woodworker and loves being outdoors!

Together, we have been married for 37 years and are proud parents of 3 adult children, 4 wonderful grandsons, and 2 amazing foster sons. After fostering for 16 years and being the “fun, daft” aunt and uncle to a big extended family, we’re excited to bring that same energy, care, and creativity to Forest Friends!

Nature is good for us. When children access outdoor play on a regular basis it allows for healthier, happier children. Children become more confident, creative and greater problem-solvers when accessing the natural world.

Through the use of the outdoor environment and our natural surroundings, we provide fun family sessions based around themes such as stories, bug hunting or den building.

We also provide private parties and sessions which can be based around any theme you like. Please contact us for more details.
