Forest Schools

Learn in Nature

Are you looking for a full-day, experiential learning opportunity? Forest schools are a wonderful way to give your child the experience of being in nature and make friends. Many forest schools also offer drop-off options if you need full-time childcare. According to the Forest School Association” Forest School is an inspirational process, that offers ALL learners regular opportunities to achieve and develop confidence and self-esteem through hands-on learning experiences in a woodland or natural environment with trees. Forest School is a specialized learning approach that sits within and complements the wider context of outdoor and woodland education.”
