Forest School
Discover how Forest School enriches learning and provides unique opportunities for children within our 6 acres of outdoor enclosed space.
Forest school ethos
Forest School is a long-term process. Preschool children attend numerous, continuous sessions throughout the year to experience all weather and seasons.
Forest School takes place in a natural wooded environment. Our forestry area, also known as the Bug Hotel, is located within our grounds and is rich in vegetation.
Forest School promotes holistic development. We plan a wide range of activities for the children, which cover all seven areas of learning.
Forest School offers the children the opportunity to take supported risks. Children make fires, cook, build and use tools, all under supervision.
Qualified Forest School practitioners run Forest School. We are lucky to have two forestry-qualified practitioners, Alicja and Monika, who run Forest School sessions daily.
Forest School uses a range of learner-centered processes. We have some planned activities, which the children can access throughout the session, but the sessions are mostly child-led.
