Forest School

Forest School
Learning, confidence, and connection — rooted in nature

​

Our Forest School sessions offer children the time and space to explore, create, and grow through meaningful experiences in the natural world. Led by trained practitioners, sessions are child-led, play-based, and designed to nurture confidence, resilience, and wellbeing.

​

These sessions are particularly well suited to home-educated children who benefit from small groups, flexible learning, and opportunities for social connection without pressure.

​

What is Forest School?

​

Forest School is a long-term, nature-based approach to learning that supports the whole child. Rather than following a fixed curriculum, children are encouraged to follow their curiosity — building skills, confidence, and independence at their own pace.

​

Sessions take place outdoors in a natural environment and may include:

​

• Free and imaginative play

• Nature exploration and observation

• Tool use and simple woodland skills (age-appropriate)

• Creative activities using natural materials

• Group games and shared experiences

​

There’s no expectation to perform, achieve, or “keep up” — just space to be themselves.

​

Who Are the Sessions For?

​

Our Forest School sessions are:

​

• Ideal for home-educated children

• Suitable for children who thrive with hands-on, experiential learning

• Supportive of different learning styles and sensory needs

• Run in small groups to ensure safety, connection, and individual attention

​

If you’re unsure whether Forest School is the right fit for your child, you’re very welcome to get in touch before booking.
