Forest School Drop-Off Programme (5+)

5 hrs£35

Our 5-hour Forest School drop-off programme offers home-educated children aged 5+ the opportunity to learn, explore and connect through nature-based, child-led experiences.
Set in our beautiful woodland environment, sessions run from 9.30am - 2.30pm and provide children with extended time to play, build confidence, develop social skills and deepen their relationship with the natural world. Activities may include fire lighting and campfire cooking, woodland crafts, tool use, shelter building, nature exploration, games and storytelling — all guided by the children’s interests and the changing seasons.
This is a drop-off programme, giving children the space to build independence while being supported by a qualified Teacher and Forest School leader in a safe, nurturing setting. Sessions are relaxed and inclusive, with a strong focus on curiosity, resilience and emotional wellbeing - foundations which support confidence, engagement and long-term academic growth alongside social and emotional development.
Children should come dressed for the weather, with appropriate clothing and a packed lunch.

About

Wild Wondering Beach and Forest School aims to help young people fall in love with nature, a happy place they can return to again and again.
Whether they’re exploring the shoreline, investigating rock pools, hunting for minibeasts, or cooking over a campfire, nature becomes their classroom and every day is a new adventure.
Here, learning happens by doing: building shelters, tying knots, whittling sticks, and following their curiosity. Participants are free to explore, play, build, create, imagine, and use all their senses to soak up the natural world around them.
It’s not just fun — it’s powerful.
These wild experiences help grow confidence, friendships, resilience, and a lasting connection to the natural world.

What an amazing morning, the most wonderful place to spend time with family and meet other lovely people doing the same. It was a total sanctuary, we can’t wait to come back.

Wild Wondering sessions are the best! My daughter, who is almost 9, loves the freedom to explore the woods, enjoy the cozy campfire, and connect with Olive, the wonder pup!

My daughter absolutely loves attending Wild Wondering sessions. Amber is amazing with the children and manages to capture their attention and imagination in so many different ways each week. Molly, who often assists, is also wonderful too. There is a fantastic balance of guided activities but also allowing the children to explore nature, or lead the sessions' direction themselves. I would recommend to everyone!

We attended our first session at Wild Wondering Forest School with my little boy, aged two, and it was absolutely wonderful. Amber made what felt like an immediate and special connection with him—she was so attuned to his needs and just as in tune with the other children too. It’s rare to see someone create such a natural sense of trust right from the start.

The setting itself was beautiful, with both indoor and outdoor spaces that instantly put us at ease. It struck the perfect balance between gentle learning and truly child-led exploration. The children were free to simply be children while still being positively encouraged to take part in lovely activities—painting, planting seeds, collecting nature treasures, toasting marshmallows, and more.

There was also a gorgeous sense of community, with everyone looking out for each other and all the children supported so kindly. Our island needs more spaces like this—places where little ones can connect with nature, with each other, and with adults who genuinely care.

We’re already so excited to return. 🌿✨

Ps thank you also to lovely Molly who was supporting amber who bought a sense of awe and wonder connection to to all the children.
