Following the Woodentots seasonal rhythms, our Forest School believes that childhood is not a race. Children should be given freedom, space and natural resources to foster their love of nature towards a sustainable future.

A whole-child approach gives children the foundation they need to become well-rounded, healthy individuals, equipped with life skills to reach their full potential.

Forest school children become confident, resilient and independent risk takers. This is what school readiness looks like!

Child-led play gives freedom to explore the world using their senses. The wildlife pond and bug hotel offer children the opportunity to really connect with nature.

Loose part play such as crates, logs and planks to bring imagination alive. As well as spaces to just be, look at a book or sit around the camp fire.

Led by Montessori and Forest School Leaders, our Forest School follows Montessori principles and nature led materials.
