Thanks for stopping by. It’s great to have you here!

I’m Becca. I started Wild & Curious as a way of combining my skills and interests while working flexibly around my children. Im a trained primary school teacher, and it was while teaching that I discovered my passion for learning through play. I firmly believe that play is the best way for children to learn, as well as being essential for their wellbeing.

I can often be found spending free evenings reading about play and anything associated, and the more I learn the more convicted I become that it’s the most natural way for children to learn!

I have three young children,  so I’m currently taking time away from teaching while I stay at home with them. I home educate my elder two, which is both a delightful privilege and an exhausting challenge! It’s also been a good chance to put play under the microscope!

I love spending time outdoors with my children, which I largely attribute to growing up in Hastings and spending much of my free time between the garden or on dogs walks in the Country Park. It’s also where I developed my love for the sea – you can’t beat a good sea breeze for clearing the head! I think the outdoors is an incredible natural play space with boundless learning opportunities.

When I’m not busy playing, I love to make things (though my ambition frequently outweighs my skill level), watch a good film with a glass of wine, and dream about moving to the French countryside.
