Parent and Toddler Classes
A warm welcome to Willow's Forest School. We offer a safe and fun outdoor experience for children aged 18 months to 4 years, in all weathers during term time. We were founded in 2013 and our popular Parent and Toddler Mini Camps run Monday to Friday mornings from Ottershaw, Chertsey and Sutton Green near Guildford, SURREY. Siblings rates apply and siblings under 12 months attend for free. Sessions start from just £14! If you would like to join us for the Autumn Term we run 2 hour sessions and there are payment options too. We are fully booked on some days so we have decided to run an Early Bird Offer for those wishing to join us for the Spring term. Please read our Terms and Conditions before booking please, so you are aware of our refund policy. Thank you very much.

FEES -
Forest School sessions are booked once a week in full terms. Each 2 hour session costs £18 with a sibling rate of £14. This fee is then multiplied by the number of weeks in a term. There is the option to pay in 2 instalments for 2 hours (but you are still committing to the full term), this only applies to those starting before the full term commences. Using the link above, you click the offline button at the end of your transaction and then email us. We will send you 2 invoices which you can pay across the term. We no longer offer one payback session per term due to Covid 19 as we are not mixing bubbles. We do not offer ad-hoc classes. We do not offer refunds.
SIBLINGS on the move!
If you are bringing your child and you have a baby, they will need to be in a sling or pram please. If your baby is on the move and wishes to participate, please pay a sibling rate when booking.We are happy if you would like to pay for them in instalments. Please email us to discuss options. Once we are through the pandemic, we will be able to allow siblings under 18 months attend for free but whilst we have limited numbers per bubble, we cannot be as flexible. Please bring your own changing mat and anything you require for your baby.
