Answers to Common Questions

Frequently AskedQuestions

What is Forest School?

Forest School is a child-centred, outdoor learning approach where participants develop confidence, resilience and practical skills through regular sessions in nature.

What should my child wear?

We recommend waterproof clothing, wellies or sturdy boots, and layers suited to the season. It’s all about staying warm, dry, and comfortable outdoors.

What happens in bad weather?

We embrace all weather (except extreme storms or high winds). Our site is well-prepared with shelters and warm drinks for rainy days. It’s all part of the adventure.

Can parents stay during the session?

For younger children (under 7), parents can stay for the first few sessions if needed. After that, we encourage independence — but we’ll always chat through what works best for your child.

Is it safe?

Yes. Safety is our top priority. All sessions are risk-assessed and led by qualified practitioners. We maintain small group sizes (max 5 people) for close supervision.

What ages do you support?

Currently, our taster sessions are open to:

Ages 5–7

Ages 9–11

Ages 12–15

Open sessions for all ages

We will expand our offerings over time.
