What are Forest Schools

“A Forest School encourages a love of nature and is an fun educational approach to outdoor play and learning”

A day at Forest School is all about having outdoor adventures in natural habitats and learning about the beauty of nature throughout the seasons.

Children’s minds are so open to learning and they will discover that there is so much to learn about nature as they go exploring.   .

The Forest Club programme has a wide range of activities designed to not only interest children but challenge their minds and we feel that the earlier the better which is why we run classes for children as young as 3 years old.   The overall age group is 3-6 yrs and 6-12 yrs.

Benefits of Forest School

Spending days outdoors connecting with nature is a great way to broaden children’s appreciation of nature and become aware of how important it is to respect natural habitats.   A day at Forest School can also take children a little out of their comfort zone, which is great for character building. .

Growing up in an urban areas can be a bit like living in a concrete jungle. Even on sunny days, some city parks can be very overcrowded.  Children can become out of touch with nature.

But at the Forest School Club children are able to head away from the crowd to spend quality time reconnecting with nature in natural habitats like woodlands and nature reserves.  The aim is for children to forge a life-long relationship with their natural environment.
