The educational space At Dacres Wood arose from the desire to offer children the possibility to freely explore their own ways of learning to learn and to grow in a consent based environment connected to nature and the world around us.

In this environment, children’s time for free play, exploration, imagination, and the pursuit of their individual or group interests is respected. We foster a culture where adults and children learn from each other and create space for dialogue through meetings and open communication. Our approach is based on the values of integrity, authenticity, and respect for one another as human beings, and as a community, we will strive to model these values.

We are based at Dacres Wood Nature Reserve in Forest Hill, London
