Friends of Thriving Language
Badger Wood Adventures is a forest school social enterprise based in Gloucestershire that provides nature-led outdoor experiences for children. They organise child-led woodland sessions for preschoolers, home-educated children and during school holidays, plus fun celebrations like birthday parties. Their mission is to nurture connection - with nature, with others - supporting wellbeing and development across all areas, while fostering responsibility for our environment.
Emotion Coaching UK promotes an evidence-based approach to helping children and young people understand, manage, and express their emotions in healthy ways. They deliver training, consultancy, and accreditation for professionals (teachers, caregivers, health visitors, etc.) so that emotionally supportive relationships become central in classrooms, homes, and community settings. Their work is rooted in the belief that when children are seen, validated, and guided through difficult feelings, they grow in resilience, stability, and capacity.
We are proud to collaborate with a network of like-minded organisations who share our vision for nurturing children’s communication, play, and well-being. Our Friends of Thriving Language are companies and partners we work alongside to champion high-quality support for children, families, and professionals. Together, we celebrate the power of connection and the joy of learning through play.
