What Awaits Your Child
Exciting Outdoor Spaces
A secure woodland area with a sandpit, mud kitchen, slopes, slides, swings, and a hammock for endless fun and creativity.
Adventure Walks
The wider 130-acre woodland site, lovingly maintained by the scouts, invites children to lead their own adventures, discovering new areas and pausing to explore whatever captures their imagination.
Cozy Retreats
A marquee provides a warm, quiet space for reading, snacks, and calm activities.
A bell tent with a log burner, nestled in the woods, immerses children in the heart of nature while offering comfort and warmth.
Child-Led Learning in Nature
At our Woodland Nursery, children take the lead, exploring their interests and learning at their own pace. With the guidance of our dedicated staff, we ensure that every moment aligns with the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and Forest School Priciples, promoting development through hands-on, nature-based experiences.
Discover the joy of learning in the great outdoors—a place where imaginations grow, skills flourish, and lifelong memories are made.
