A summary
Our Friday Morning Family Forest School sessions provide fun and educational activities that give children aged 2-12 the opportunity to immerse themselves in our safe Forest School setting. The session is for children and grown ups to enjoy our wonderful willow woodland which provides a stimulus for play and learning; to develop children’s well-being, confidence and social skills. Your child will be encouraged to take managed risks and make positive choices; whilst having fun and enjoying the great outdoors. We welcome the children into the woodland, share our rules and play games to establish our boundaries and build relationships. The session will be semi-structured with opportunities for children to develop their knowledge of the woodland environment, their understanding of how to keep safe, and their skills in making things from natural resources. The children will have an opportunity to play games together, participate in planned tasks, as well as initiating their own play and exploration. Each week there will be a structured activity for children to do if they wish; activities may include den building, natural arts and crafts, low ropes and balance bridges, mud sculpting, bug hunts and campfire cooking. The activities, tools and tool procedures will be introduced for the session, to ensure all children understand how to use the resources safely. The children will also play games and have refreshments. For further information please visit our website https://www.thewillowshorringer.com

Cancellation Policy
No refunds are given except in the case of a cancellation by the Mentor.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
