What is Forest School?
Forest School is a child-centred inspirational learning process, that offers opportunities for holistic growth through regular sessions. Forest School supports play, exploration and supported risk taking. It develops children’s confidence and self-esteem through learner inspired, hands-on experiences in a natural setting.
Our Forest School is run by qualified Forest School practitioners, who continuously maintain and develop their professional practice. Children are encouraged to explore the natural world around them, hunting for bugs, developing their physical skills by climbing trees, constructing obstacle courses with wood, den building and so much more!
We offer our Forest School sessions for children to attend all year round!
Children attending our Forest School sessions all year around experience seasonal changes that teaches children about adaptability and witnessing the world go through cycles helps children to understand the concept of changes and builds resilience in the face of transitions.
What does Forest School club have to offer my children?
They will have the opportunity to cook yummy treats on an open fire with an adult, learn how to use a bow saw, develop those physical skills on our slack line or trapeze. Swing on our wooden tree swings, Cook in our mud kitchen and explore in our planting station, learning how to grow their own plants!
We really do have so much to offer for the children.
