“Don’t tell me the sky’s the limit when there are footprints on the moon”
We’re a Forest School and Nursery set in beautiful Plessey Woods, Northumberland. We use the forest as our classroom - a place where children can learn, explore and develop while in connection with the natural world.
We believe that away from the confines of the classroom, children have the space to be themselves and learn in a way that works for them. In our years of experience, the holistic, child-centred approach of Forest School helps every child to thrive - regardless of age, ability or background - by developing better communication, self-confidence and resilience.
