What we'll do
The morning Stay and Play is suitable for babies and preschool children along with their parents. This provides a safe space outside to play and give parents a place to connect and engage with nature and each other while the children benefit from Forest school activities. Every session is targeted to individual needs and abilities meaning that any age is welcome. We will have blankets and safe natural resources for babies/ non walkers to enjoy while you can help yourself to a cuppa. There is always something to keep the little ones busy. All sessions are led by a qualified Forest School Leader. We carefully observe each child and then plan the sessions accordingly to the children's personal interests meaning, that each session can change depending on where the play takes them. We work together to facilitate this play. All staff are fully insured, DBS checked and have undergone safeguarding training.
About your mentor
Kim at Little Trees
Forest School Leader
I have been working with children in a classroom setting for 13 years. My love for nature, being outside and working with children drew me to Forest School and in 2018 I qualified as a Level 3 Forest School practitioner. The start of 2022 my real journey began as I branched out and set up Little Trees Forest School and now work in the woods full time. I am passionate about getting children outside to learn though play. We do this by being outside all year around using what nature provides from one season to the next, learning how to look after and respect the environment. The children experience real life skills such as using tools, lighting fires problem solving and are encouraged to take manageable risks in a safe environment under close supervision.
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.

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.
