About the family:

The family run a farm near Bromyard as well as several holiday lets in woodland on the farm.

They are currently working on a vegetable patch, the boy is working on letters and maths and the girl has just become very mobile. The Montessori and RIE approaches really resonate with their family values of fostering independence, clear boundaries and communicating with respect and kindness.

For the children, there are a couple of forest schools within 20mins that run sessions regularly as well as a few soft play options and playgrounds. There are also a range of music and swimming classes that are within 30 minutes. There is also plenty to explore on the farm.
