A summary

From the moment children arrive at our Forest School Holiday Club, learning begins through curiosity, movement, and hands-on experience. We begin each session sat around the fire pit area where staff will make introductions and then talk through our safety rules and answer any questions our learners may have. The session then gently unfolds in the woodland, giving children time to explore, settle, and feel a sense of belonging in nature. They learn by doing: building shelters with natural materials, safely using tools to whittle and saw, lighting and tending a small campfire, and working together to solve real problems as they arise. Through nature games, wildlife exploration, and creative woodland challenges, children develop confidence, independence, resilience, and teamwork skills. Learning is child-led and meaningful, allowing each child to follow their interests while being supported to try new things, take safe risks, and reflect on their experiences in a calm, nurturing outdoor environment.

Cancellation policy

Weather Cancellation Policy and Procedure ‘The weather shouldn’t stop you….but inappropriate clothing could…….’ (Unknown:2019) Back2Basics Forest School aim to run sessions all year round, through all seasons. Unfortunately, in some instances this may not be possible due to adverse weather conditions. Back2Basics may have to cancel sessions if; • In the case of the Met Office issuing a warning of winds at 25mph or more/ gusts of 39mph and above • In the case of extreme heat where the Met Office have issued an Amber weather warning for heat • If the weather drops below 0 the session can still run, but only if the children and young people are dressed appropriately and are of sound physical health. Activities will be adapted to something more active where body temperatures can be raised The Forest School Lead will take all steps to ensure the relevant people are aware of this prior to the session starting. PLEASE NOTE; In some instances this may not be possible with sessions potentially cancelled on or suing the session.

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.
