Rooted: A Year in Nature

A complete curriculum for those guiding children outdoors

There is a growing desire to bring children back to something simpler.

To let them move, explore, notice, and learn through the world around them — not just from worksheets or screens, but from real, lived experience.

And yet, knowing where to begin can feel overwhelming.

That’s where Rooted comes in.

A Full Year, Already Created

Rooted is a complete, ready-to-use nature curriculum designed for childminders, childcare settings, and those working with groups of children.

It offers a full academic year of structured, thoughtful learning — without losing the magic of outdoor discovery.

Everything is prepared for you:

• clear, printable lesson plans
• simple activities using everyday materials
• seasonal flow across the entire year

No additional training is needed. No specialist equipment is required.

Structure Without Losing Wonder

What makes Rooted different is its balance.

It holds enough structure to feel supportive and reliable — especially in group settings — while still allowing space for curiosity, play, and the unexpected moments that make outdoor learning so powerful.

Children are not rushed through outcomes. They are given time to explore, to notice, to engage with the natural world in ways that feel meaningful.

Built for Real Life

This curriculum was created with real settings in mind.

Busy days. Mixed ages. Limited resources.

It works without needing perfect conditions. It adapts to your environment, your group, and your pace.

You can return to it year after year, building familiarity, confidence, and a deeper connection to the seasons over time.

What It Creates

Over time, something changes.

The children begin to settle into the rhythm of the outdoors. They recognise seasonal shifts. They build confidence, resilience, and curiosity.

And you, as the guide, feel supported — not overwhelmed.

You have a pathway. A structure. Something you can trust.
