Seven years ago, I left mainstream teaching after one too many mornings sitting in my car, overwhelmed by the thought of the day ahead.
Today, I wake up excited for what I do, surrounded by nature, wonderful children, and an incredible team.
Sometimes the biggest leaps of faith lead to the happiest places.
7 years a forest school leader! 🌿✨
Happy 7th Birthday, Kids Go Wild! 🌿🎉
Seven incredible years of giving children the freedom to explore, discover, and learn through child-led, unstructured outdoor play.
Over the years, we've helped children develop practical outdoor skills such as fire lighting, shelter building, and learning about the plants, trees, and wildlife that surround them. Our curriculum continues to grow, and we are proud to now include our edible garden, with an exciting pet corner coming soon.
It has been quite a journey — from moving sites and successfully navigating our OFSTED inspection to undertaking countless hours of training and development along the way.
Most importantly, we are grateful for our fantastic team, whose passion, dedication, and commitment make Kids Go Wild such a special place for children and families. Together, we continue to provide a truly unique educational experience rooted in nature, adventure, and childhood freedom.
Here's to the next chapter and many more years of wild learning ahead! 💚🌳🍃✨

A few wonderful years ago Windsor Road Fields was saved by the local community to be kept as a greenspace rather than a 300 odd housing development!
During that time there has been a lot going on that the green space charity have been developing, managing & maintaining.
Our wonderful sensory garden was a beautiful edition to the space boasting many wonderful and diverse plants.
We meet on the first Sunday of every month for gardening! 🌻 11-12!
We are very low on volunteers and many of the plants are being choked by weeds and overgrowing grass, please if you enjoy the greenspace & are able to garden and come and help out please do get in touch with us. Please tag and share to spread our message

🌿 Volunteers & Support Needed for Dane Bank Green Space 🌿
Our wonderful community green space is in need of some extra help. The sensory garden and several other areas have become overgrown, and we are looking for volunteers who can spare some time to help us restore and maintain this much-loved local resource 🌿
In June 2020, the Dane Bank Green Space Charity was established to manage, protect and improve the Windsor Road Fields. The charity secured a 25-year lease from Tameside Council and works alongside the DBGS Community Group, Dane Bank Angling Club, Kids Go Wild Forest School and Tameside's People 4 Wildlife Group to enhance the space for local schools, families, community groups and visitors.
Their mission is to promote environmental awareness, education, health, wellbeing and community engagement through this valuable green space.
Like all charities, they rely on the generosity of our community. If you are able to support them financially, please consider making a donation or setting up a monthly contribution of just £1 or £2. Every contribution, no matter how small, helps the space continue to be cared for and improvement of the site.
They are also keen to hear from individuals and community groups who may be interested in volunteering. Gardening and outdoor conservation work can be a fantastic way to support mental health and wellbeing, so they would particularly welcome enquiries from adult community groups looking to get involved.
They are also inviting local youth organisations such as Guides, Scouts, Brownies and Cubs to lend a hand.
Volunteering in the green space could provide valuable learning opportunities and help young people work towards badges and awards while making a positive impact in their community.
If you would like to volunteer or find out more, please contact us at [email protected] and we will pass your enquiry onto the team.
💚 Together, we can keep Dane Bank Green Space thriving for everyone to enjoy.
