About your mentor
Victoria @ Silverwoods Forest School
Wild guide and friendly forager!
Hi, my name is Victoria, I am the Director of Silverwoods Forest School Limited. I am also a mother to a very happy, confident, content, and loving boy called Sterling. I am creative, strong willed and passionate, as I inspire children and adults that attend my forest school to be more in tune with nature. To create a world where people are more attached to one another and nature, and less attached to the material things in life. To escape the modern stresses of the wider world, and to be more mindful and present in the moment! Everyone needs a little nature and the great outdoors in their life, it feeds the soul! I am a qualified Forest School Practitioner Level 3, I trained with Archimedes (now known as forest school’s education) I have full public liability insurance up to 5 million pounds, I hold an Outdoor Forest School First Aid Certificate, up to date DBS Check on the update service, TQUK Level 2 Certificate in Safeguarding, Prevent and British Values (RQF) 2021, and a Level 2 Award in Food Safety. I have several years’ experience working as a Nanny with children from all ages. I have worked in local schools; set up and run forest school programmes for Pyrford Primary C of E School and Little Acorns Day Nursery in Cobham. I have my own private woodland site over in Shere in the Surrey Hills which I run Children’s Woodland Parties from. I have helped in the running of forest school sessions for four Forest schools across Surrey and London; I have experience working around children with special educational needs and disabilities. I am also very passionate about Wild Food and how we can sustainably forage for it in the wild. I am currently studying “Teach Foraging” with Di Hammill at the Wild Harvest School. So, watch this space as in 2023 I will be hosting my own wild food and forage workshops. I hold so much love and passion when it comes to working with children; it's great to see children in an outdoor learning environment being able to follow their own direction, working things out for themselves and having lots of fun in the process. My job is for your children to become more independent learners, whilst having a good understanding of the natural world around them. We believe that everybody should have access to a safe outdoor space to learn, play and have fun, by providing this we can increase self-esteem, confidence and enhance personal, social, and emotional development. We promote equality, offering a fun accessible approach to our work, with the knowledge and understanding that there can be a broad range of personal and social barriers to people taking part.

Booking Silverwoods Forest School is open to all young people from all ethnic, cultural, religious and social groups. Places are limited and are all allocated on a booking service until maximum numbers have been reached. Places will be allocated on a first come first serve basis. If sessions become fully booked, we will hold you on a waiting list or offer you a space on another session with availability. Birthday Parties Are for children aged 3 to 12 years of age. There will be a non-refundable deposit of £150 payable at the time of booking; this is to secure your Birthday Party. The full balance is to be paid no later than two weeks before your party is due to commence. In the unlikely event that we have to cancel your party due to high winds or a lightening storm, then we will re arrange for you to have your party on the nearest available date, if this does not work around you and your party guests, then we will offer you a refund minus the £150 non-refundable booking deposit. Refunds & cancellations Refunds will not be given on the very rare occasion that the weather is too dangerous for us to hold a safe Forest School session. So winds over 42mph, or Thunder & lightening storms. We will keep an eye on the weather forecasts and contact you via email or text message, by 5pm the day before. Also, keep an eye out on our Facebook page. If the weather begins to take a turn for the worst, in the middle of a session, we will follow our emergency evacuation procedure. We do not offer a refund on this occasion. If your child cannot attend due to illness refunds will not be offered. For whatever reason we have to cancel a session due to adult: child ratios, or Forest School leader sickness, then you will be put onto the next available session, at no extra cost. Refunds will not be offered if your child has become to cold due to the lack of clothing or layers he/she is wearing (always dress your child in more layers, as these can be taken off if they get to hot, rather be to hot than to cold) Refunds cannot be offered if you or your child become ill due to covid-19. In the event that there is another spike in Covid-19 cases locally, and we are advised to close down due to government guidelines, then your sessions will be gifted back to you when we reopen. If the dates that are offered to you do not fit around your family plans, then I'm afraid no refund will be offered on this occasion Refunds cannot be given due to non-attendance of sessions. Cancellations in writing 14 days after you originally booked with us, for a full refund, after this time you will not get anything back. Insurance Silverwoods Forest School has obtained full Public Liability Insurance up to 5 million pounds. Forest School sessions take place in the outdoors, which by its nature is never completely free from hazard.

Mobile Phones Parents with mobiles are kindly asked to make sure they do not take photos of any other child whilst at forest school, it is ok to photograph your own child.

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.
