Forest Schools
Forest Schools are a growing trend. I’m yet to come across full time forest school options, they mostly seem to be part-time for home educators, local Forest School nurseries, after school clubs and weekend/holiday forest schools.
For example, my son goes to one once a week for a 4 hour session. He’s currently 7 and has been going for about 1.5 years. He loves it!
