Hello!
I’m Leanne Webster, the owner of Wild Gully Therapy & Nature Play, Bundaberg’s only nature play specialist. Did you know, I was trained and mentored by Wildlings Forest School on the Sunshine Coast and completed their Nature Business Course? I hold a Bachelor of Education in Early Childhood and have worked tirelessly to ensure all my training, policies, and procedures are up to date.
I can support you and your service with training in fire education, hand tools, bush kindy principles, loose parts play, sensory play, risky play, and more. Let me write your write lesson plans, risk assessments, and resource lists, and deliver module training to you and your staff either face-to-face or online. I can also travel to your centre if you are in a different area.
My passion is mentoring, so let’s work together. Let me know how I can help and support your practice.
Thank you also for all the work you do with our children.
Testimonials
Paige Walters
The feedback from your session at the end of the day was all positive and many educators had reflected on how they were going to include more risky and nature play and offer more uninterrupted play in their programs. This is a great eye opener and a great place to start for these services towards making change for the better. You setup was beautiful and inspiring, it was absolutely wonderful that you were able to provide a hands on experience at a conference where people expect to be sitting all day and "talked at" which is something we wanted to avoid. Your stall was a wonderful touch too and I appreciate the effort you went to.
