A classroom without walls. A place where we explore, experiment, imagine and create. Where we make mud pies, jump in puddles, build dens, use real tools, climb trees and help cook on fires. Where we learn about nature, the environment, our world and ourselves. It is where play is natural, open ended and child led. A place where children have space, freedom and time. Where adults and children can play and learn together. This is a place where your wild child can thrive.

We deliver our sessions from our beautiful 3.5 acre woodland site in Follifoot, just outside of Harrogate. Our site is fully secure and used exclusively by us. The site has been designed to promote curiosity, imagination and creativity through open ended child-initiated play and exploration, scaffolded and extended by highly qualified and experienced staff.

“By far the best forest school!! My son absolutely loves the sessions they offer such as making mud pies, building with natural resources, painting with mud, exploring the forest, digging.....the list is endless. The aim is to provide children experiences which will connect them with nature through open ended and child initiated play and it offers exactly that!! This place is pretty special any time of year and would recommend to anyone with children to give it a go!!”

“My 3 year old and 20month year old love this place. It offers so much freedom to use their imagination and opportunities to learn new skills. They never want to go home when the time is up. We go nearly every week and it’s great there is flexibility to attend as many sessions as you like during the term. Probably the best toddler class we have ever been too! Thanks for you all you do guys xxx P.s we love the new bird hide ???? ????”
