About


Hi, my name is Lizzie and I created Green Space Learning in Essex. I have two boys – a one year old and a four year old and they are both wild at heart. I have also spent 13 years in the classroom. I am a qualified teacher, currently teaching in KS1 but have a wealth of experience across all ages.


I have two mud loving boys who enjoy being outside and exploring. We spend days out in the forest, digging and climbing, at the beach, dipping and splashing and at the park, jumping and chasing.

With two energetic boys, I could see the difference it made to them being outside. I started to look into the benefits of outdoor adventures and it spilled over into my teaching. I researched ways to make my lessons more creative and to allow the children I was working with to move and be creative as they learn, all by using the natural resources provided in the outdoors in the school grounds.

I am passionate about making learning fun and know how important play is in early childhood development. I wanted to create something that could make a difference to children’s lives and to help aid their development in ways that I have witness through my own experience as a mum and a teacher.
