Abbie Reynolds

Job Title: Forest School Manager

Joined: 2023

With over a decade of experience working with children, our Forest School is managed by Abbie Reynolds. Abbie is a Level 3 Forest School Leader and is so passionate about the great outdoors that she is working towards her Level 4 Forest School and Outdoor Learner qualification, meaning that she can share her enthusiasm by training others.


We’re thrilled to have Abbie at the helm of our Forest School; there is nothing that Abbie enjoys more than watching children in her care grow in confidence, self-esteem and resilience through outdoor exploration.


She loves creating learning adventures using the natural resources around the Forest School and is a firm believer in the philosophy that there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothing! Rain or shine, Abbie’s Forest School sessions are jam-packed with opportunities to explore the wonder of the natural world, and in her spare time, Abbie can be found outdoors walking her dog or strolling along the beach.
