Forest School for Preschoolers

Come and discover the magic of Forest School, where every session is led by your child's curiosity, imagination and sense of adventure.

Set in our beautiful woodland in Lavenham, children are free to explore, create, climb, dig, splash, build and get gloriously muddy while developing confidence, resilience and a lifelong love of nature. There are no worksheets or expectations here, just real play, real learning and plenty of fresh air.

Every session is child-led, meaning children choose how they engage with the activities on offer. One week they might be cooking mud cakes in the mud kitchen, building dens, swinging through the trees, creating natural crafts or relaxing with a story in our woodland reading nook. Another week they may be discovering minibeasts, learning new skills with simple tools, gathering around the fire pit for hot chocolate or simply enjoying the freedom to explore at their own pace.

Forest School nurtures the whole child, encouraging problem-solving, communication, creativity, physical development and emotional wellbeing through meaningful play in nature.

If you're looking for a place where your child can get muddy, make friends, build confidence and experience the joy of the outdoors, we'd love to welcome you around our log circle.

Come dressed for the weather, ready for adventure... and don't worry if they come home a little muddy – that's usually a sign they've had the best day!
