This is an absolute treat! Susan Caruso of Sunflower Creative Arts shares all kinds of goodness with us in this episode. From setting up in a rented space at a church, to buying their own site. I absolutely love the story of Sunflower Creative Arts, having followed their journey from afar, and been inspired by Susan's incredible work in the community. This was a dream chat for me! This is essential listening for all those looking to take the step into setting up a nature nursery, or even those well seasoned owners. Just lap it up. You're welcome :-)
Joining me is Sal Preston, a pioneer who set up Monmouthshire's first outdoor nursery in 2019. The thing that I find about people who set up projects like this on their own, is the sheer amount of determination and passion it takes. It may have been a tough first year, but there is also so much potential growth to come in today's new outdoor-focused world! I want to find out how today's guest went from teaching in mainstream primary schools to operating her own outdoor nursery.SERIES 1: The Road That Led Us Here.

Joining me are Rachel and Kim from The Homestead Nursery, a reggio inspired, outdoor loving setting in beautiful Wales. Theirs is an inspirational journey! From buying an established nursery to turning it into something incredibly special. These women hold research-informed practice dear to the hearts. They have set about opening The Homestead, coming from their roles as Early Years Teacher, and Midwife and Health Visitor. I think this makes for a really wonderfully unique setting for young children, with a firm foundation in knowledge of child development.
