Our story

The idea of creating Flo & Fawn first began in 2014, but busy lives teaching and parenting (not to mention a new baby, a wedding, a move overseas – and back – and a new puppy) quickly overtook it.

However, we continued to grow towards the ethos of Forest Schools and spending time outside with our families, exploring all that the wonderful Surrey Hills has to offer.

Cue 2020, a year which has forced everyone to question what they want their ‘new normal’ to be.

For us, that meant creating something we are passionate about, something that will allow children and families, including our own, to reconnect with the natural world through play and learning.

We hope that we can inspire you to take your families learning back to the wild with us.

Becky is our qualified Forest School leader and Primary School teacher.

Throughout her 14 years as a teacher, she has always been a keen advocate of taking learning outside.

The discovery of the child-led, play-based approach of Forest Schools 6 years ago was a perfect alignment of her teaching skills and core values.

When not playing in the forest, Becky likes nothing more than curling up with a good book and her beloved Labradors.

Vicky has a background in museums and arts education, having successfully run programmes delivering life long learning, events and exhibitions for the National Trust.

She is a true gardening fanatic and when not in the forest, Vicky is happiest pottering with her hands in the soil.

The greatest inspiration for Flo & Fawn has to be our own ‘Wild Tribe’.

Run by sisters, Flo & Fawn is a family business and that connection is at the heart of all we do.

Between us we have 4 children (and two long-suffering husbands!) and it is a daily privilege to see them grow and flourish.

They enjoy nothing better than long fun filled days together, exploring all that the wonderful Surrey countryside has to offer.
