Special Needs Inclusion Playcare Services (SNIPS)

At Foresteers, we are proud to support Special Needs Inclusion Playcare Services (SNIPS) by creating meaningful opportunities for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) to connect with nature.

Through inclusive forest school sessions and outdoor play experiences, we help children build confidence, independence, social skills and emotional wellbeing in a safe, supportive environment. Access to natural spaces encourages exploration, creativity and sensory engagement, while the proven benefits of spending time outdoors can improve physical and mental health.

Our partnership with SNIPS also provides valuable respite for families and carers, offering children enriching experiences while giving parents and caregivers time to rest, recharge and focus on their own wellbeing. Together, we are helping ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn, play and thrive in nature.
