Nursery & Forest School

Nurturing outdoor childcare from 3 months to school age

Our ethos

Learning through nature

We follow the forest school approach: child-led, hands-on play out in the open air. Time spent exploring the woods helps children grow in confidence and curiosity, at a pace that suits each child.
