Garden Club is Rumbo’s signature weekly drop‑off outdoor learning programme for home‑educated children aged 5-11

- a place where horticulture, floriculture and nature exploration come alive through hands‑on, joyfully low‑pressure sessions. And during half‑term holidays, Garden Club opens to all children, providing nature‑rich childcare that combines exploration, creativity and grounding time outdoors.

  • Rae

    Garden Club Lead Educator & Programme Director

    I’m a qualified teacher with a deep belief that childhood thrives outdoors - where nature supports calm minds, confident bodies and connected hearts. My work at Rumbo is rooted in hands‑on learning, emotional wellbeing and meaningful connection, creating spaces where children feel safe, seen and free to explore. I bring both big‑picture vision and muddy‑hands experience, shaping Garden Club into a nurturing, nature‑rich environment where every child can grow at their own pace.

  • "I first encountered Rae in summer 2023 when she started up a creative playgroup (pre-Rumbo) for pre-school children in ****. I took my granddaughter to several of her excellent classes."

    - Former Attendee

  • "As a former Teacher, Head of Department and ordained School Chaplain for over 30 years (albeit of more senior pupils), I was aware of just how gifted and talented Rae was at providing safe and extremely creative spaces for young children."

    - Former Attendee

  • "Each week, Rae had set up a wide range of multi-sensory and themed play/educational activities which encouraged enthusiastic participation from all children."

    - Former Attendee

  • "Rae's attention to detail is unmatched. I'm so impressed with the amount of effort that has gone into each themed week!"

    - Ellie, Former Attendee

  • Rae was very friendly, warm, encouraging and naturally empathetic with both children and adults. She patiently, gently and expertly drew out the children who were a little shy (my granddaughter included) and enabled them to engage in original, exciting and fun learning activities."
