Service summary

Herd Thyme provides a safe space where children and young people can learn, grow and build positive relationships with animals.

Sessions are tailored to individual needs and follow a trauma-informed approach. They aim to develop trust, self-confidence, communication skills, emotional resilience and positive relationships. Learners are also supported to develop skills to manage their emotions.

Activities

Herd Thyme offers a range of activities, including:

  • Learning with horses (equine-assisted learning)
  • Therapeutic bareback riding
  • Bushcraft
  • Archery
  • Gardening
  • Yoga
  • Nature-based mindfulness

Learners can spend time with horses, goats, cows, pigs, chickens, ducks, turkeys and emotional support dogs.

Learning and qualifications

Sessions usually take place one-to-one or in small groups.

Older learners can work towards City and Guilds Level 1 and Level 2 qualifications in Animal Care, alongside Functional Skills qualifications in maths and English.

Some learning can take place online at the setting, where appropriate.

Herd Thyme works closely with commissioners and families and provides support during transitions.
