Fostering Creativity and Resilience
At Forest School, we immerse children in outdoor experiences that nurture resilience, creativity, and environmental stewardship through engaging activities designed for age-appropriate development.
We offer two main sessions at our beautifully secluded private woodland in Chickerell: our Mini Explorers (walking to 4 years) and our Woodland Stewards (4 to 11 years). Please note that all ages are welcome at both sessions and there is now a family ticket option combining Toddlers and Primary age.
To secure your place, Book from the menu bar - at the top of the page.
Watch videos and read about what we've been getting up to on our Blog page.
Keep an eye out for special events where children can participate in themed activities, meet other explorers, and enjoy the beauty of nature while learning about our environment.
