WHAT IS A FOREST SCHOOL?

Forest School is a place where your child can grow and develop by being outside in the natural environment. This is a long term process, with regular attendance where children can learn through natural resources and explore their personalities through nature. During this time, when we are all concerned about the spread of infection, the outdoors has shown to be a safer place for your child.

​

The next generation is our hope for the future to make a difference in saving our planet. By
attending our Forest School, they will learn to respect nature by using their imagination and
initiative; creating a fun, educational, outdoor classroom.


A Forest School takes place in an outdoor setting. Bushy Tail Tribe Forest School is set in 35 acres of a stunning, privately-owned Surrey woodland.
