“A place to be me”
The Nurture Farm
Huckleberries Nurture Farm offers children struggling with their emotional well-being, and those going through tough times, a place to belong, grow, recover and re-engage with life. As the first Nurture Farm in the UK, we’ve taken the nurture group model into the outdoors, intertwining the principles of green social care, cultural wisdoms on raising and engaging with children, and mindfulness practices.
We offer the magical combination of nature-based child-led learning, connecting with animals, nature and each other in our beautiful, rural, outdoor setting, to rekindle the capacity that every child is born with – to be curious about their world, take risks, see failing as learning, and develop resilience, so they can learn to love who they are and be their authentic self.
We do this by cultivating a sense of belonging, so that children feel safe and secure, and therefore are able to explore and discover new skills, develop a sense of autonomy and responsibility, which enables them to develop their self-control and self-confidence, so they can reap the benefits of giving back to others, cultivating a sense of compassion, empathy and gratitude.
We help children to develop skills to be more mindful, to understand and develop their strengths and passions, adjust how they think about and respond to life’s challenges, and so enhance their emotional well-being and resilience. Most importantly, at Huckleberries we use the curative potential of animal and human interactions, so the children realise they are held in the hearts and minds of each other, which has a powerful influence on their journey.
Our Wild Learning Centre runs in parellel to the nurture farm, offering self-directed learning for families seeking an alternative to mainstream school, on a part-time or flexi-schooled basis. See our Wild Learrning Community page for more details.
Huckleberries is a Registered Charity (Reg Charity No 1209671).
