We have run over 9 years of Forest School with an overwhelming positive response from both parents and the children who participated. Forest School allows your child to learn in all areas of the EYFS in an exciting,non formal, open, free environment where children learn through exploration, investigation, taking supervised risk and learning through their own imagination and creativity.This is a well respected form of education which is very high profile in Scandinavia and is now becoming recognised in the UK for its learning benefits and contribution to a child's independence, confidence and judgement.
 
The Forest School team provide Forest School sessions for the children over 3 years of age in the nursery where they will have the opportunity to do whittling, make fires, toast marshmallows, use bow-saws and a lot, lot more. The children have a fantastic time and learn to approach "risk" with respect with amazing results.
 
The younger children in the nursery join in with "Mini Explorers" where they investigate, prod, poke and explore the woodland and local environment. This is also led by a Forest School staff member.
 
All children within the nursery have daily access to the outdoor area and woodland where although the youngest may not participate if full "Forest School" sessions they do have the opportunity to have adventures with the support of the Forest School team and other members of staff in Mini Explorers.
