Over the course of the past three years, I have facilitated and instructed children and young people, with additional needs and social emotional mental health (SEMH) challenges, in Forest School and Horticultural\/Gardening.<\/p>\n<p>I will be leading and facilitating memorable and nurturing Forest School experiences. I will explore the children\u2019s\u2019 existing interests and schemas to support them in their overall development whilst also aiming to target specific needs and areas of development.<\/p>\n<p>As an extension of the children\u2019s existing experiences at Norfolk House Nursery, the Forest School sessions I will be leading will primarily focus on and prioritise:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">&#8211;
