You have the option to book for the 1 hour or 2 hours.
We support the ethos of forest schools, therefore we do not offer an ad-hoc option.
If you have more than one child between the age of 1 and 4 years, our discounted sibling rates run every term, when booking 2 hours or more!
If you purchase an Early Bird or discounted ticket, we must stress that there is no option to pay in instalments or combine other deals with this offer.
If you wish to pay in instalments, please purchase a full fee ticket when booking 2 hours or more and please comment on the booking form. We need to receive the funds before the start of term, so booking early is required and we will release two or three invoices in one go, spread across a period of time. e.g if you wish to book the Summer term which starts in April, book off line and we will send you over an invoice for Jan, Feb March at the time of booking.

2 hour sessions
We provide a snack and cooked snack for your child. The site is set for the children to explore and we offer a craft activity and skill based activity. We have a fire and we cook snacks.
We are limited to drinking water in the woodlands, so please bring water and an optional nut free snack. Please bring in anything else you require for your child.
Holiday Camps
Please bring in a nut free packed lunch and 2 drinks.
Lot's of activities are on offer at every camp
We run in most weathers, all year round, so it is essential you take a look at our kit list. We will cancel the session if winds exceed 38 mph. We will notify you by 1500 the day before.
If your child does not arrive with waterproof trousers and coats, we will ask for you to return with the correct clothing. Shower proof coats are not suitable for a day in the rain.
We take great care of your children when attending our classes. We ask for children to be wearing protective clothing because in the summer we have ticks, mosquitos, brambles and stinging nettles in the woodlands and having arms and legs protected can prevent your child from getting hurt. In the colder months we ask for the children to come in lots and lots of warm layers and waterproof trousers and a waterproof coat. Shower proof coats do not protect little ones on a rainy day. Wellington boots do not keep little feet warm and offer no protection, so please invest in a pair of snow boots or waterproof sturdy footwear. Mountain Warehouse have a great variety and are reasonably priced.
We can if someone else takes your place before the term starts. If the term has started then no, we will not be able to offer a refund. If another customer from our waiting lists takes your space before the term starts, we will refund you minus the admin fee of £5 plus the Stripe booking fee we are charged.
