Welcome to The Forest Schools
We believe the early years shape everything that follows, and that regular time spent in
nature plays a vital role in supporting children’s development and encouraging curiosity.
Our Forest School programme maximises the learning potential of local woodlands and natural outdoor spaces through regular and planned visits throughout the year.
The experiences help children to build self-esteem and confidence, develop practical skills, and form a positive, lasting relationship with the natural world.
Our Forest School sessions
We offer sessions for two to five-year-olds that attend our affiliated nurseries and pre-schools. Sessions follow a child-led ethos and are led by qualified Forest School Leaders that work in conjunction with the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework.
Our ethos
Our Forest Schools promote free-flow play to allow the children to explore and experiment, following their curiosity and ideas in a natural environment.
Children develop their social skills by learning and playing with peers and their practitoners, who challenge them in a safe and inspiring environment.
