Wild willows Forest school

Family session (stay and play)
For Children aged 2-12years

We aim to create a holistic caring space for all children to be seen, heard, and valued. The sessions will aim to be child-led; we will offer an option of different activities each week, and there will be a snack cooked on the fire.

These sessions are aimed at pre-school-aged families and children aged 4-12 years who are choosing to home educate. Here at Wild Willows Forest School, we are building a community where families gather to build social connections and a supportive network for both children and guardians. This is why we provide a block booking option to provide this long term commitment for the children to build trust with each other and to feel safe and confident within the environment.

Wild Willows is situated in the beautiful woodland at Hannah Fields Community Gardens. This is a community space, and we feel within this space it is important to continue to connect local families.

Join us in the woods and delve into your imagination through play, creativity, movement and storytelling. Come along to learn new skills and build social connections.

Principle 1: Forest School is a long-term process of frequent and regular sessions in a woodland or natural environment, rather than a one-off visit. Planning, adaptation, observations and reviewing are integral elements of Forest School (Forest School Association, 2011)

Here at Wild Willows Forest School, we understand the value of developing children’s resilience and confidence. By attending regular sessions, this can provide a safe, holistic learning environment for children’s emotional wellbeing to thrive.

However… We do offer Limited one off bookings during term time so your child can try one of the sessions before signing up to the block booking.

One off booking Price: £16 per Child (no Siblings discount)

Thank you!
