The philosophy of the settings is unhurried, child-led learning and development - hence Naturally Learning - with a focus on nature, and sustainable materials and resources.

He’s delivered webinars, appeared in our most recent documentary, and every year, he brings a group of the Naturally Learning team to our office here in Copenhagen to say hello to us!Cornishearlychildhood.co.uk
