About your mentor
Kim at Little Trees
Assisting you to connect, discover & succeed
I've been working with children in a classroom setting for 13 years. My affinity for nature, the outdoors, and child education led me to Forest School, where I became a Level 3 Forest School practitioner in 2018. In early 2022, I embarked on a significant journey by establishing Little Trees Forest School, allowing me to work in the woods full-time. My passion lies in educating children outdoors through play. We embrace the outdoors throughout the year, utilizing what each season offers to teach care and respect for the environment. The children gain practical life skills such as tool use, fire lighting, problem-solving, and are encouraged to take manageable risks within a safe and closely supervised setting. Recently, I completed training to become a Therapeutic Forest School leader, which included instruction from a clinical psychologist on adult mental health. This has fueled my passion for encouraging adults to engage with nature. I believe that spending more time outdoors, with active hands, can lead to a tranquil mind, and nature facilitates this process. Additionally, I am trained in mental health first aid and outdoor first aid.
When you arrive
Our setting is on the wonderful Glevering Estate but not up at the hall so please look for the ‘Little Trees Forest School’ signs Ip13 0dh Our site can be a little bit hard to find the first time What 3 words link below should take to the the loge. https://w3w.co/sending.reply.denim The entrance to the site is up a driveway next to a lodge, keep to the right of the drive and parking will be on your right up the hill. Please be aware not to go up to the barn and keep out of the coned off areas as this isn’t part of Forest School. If you still can't find us please give me a call on 07739 390051 and I'll do my best talk you in. Please bring your children up the path ( follow the signs ) and wait at the entrance of the forest to be greeted. This way the children can get busy and not have to wait around near the carpark. If you are going to be late please don't worry but could you please give me a quick phone call so I know and don't keep all the other children waiting unnecessarily. For more information please have a look at the website www.littletreesforestschool.com

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

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.
