Wood Mouse Forest School

A Parent and Child ​Woodland Experience
Ages 3 to 5
Hands on outdoor, exploring and learning experience. Sustainable and green, we only use natural resources and work in our forest school area which has a shelter, fire pit and seating. If children attend regularly it develops their motivation, stamina and motor skills. It also supports emotional and social development, and increases confidence. Each child will get the chance to develop their own interests within the Forest School setting.
